For the past several weeks I’ve been on a desperate search for something to hydrate my daughter’s dry, chapped hands.
My daughter Jillian struggles with eczema and chronically dry skin. Those issues, combined with the winter months and regular school hand washing with harsh antibacterial soaps take a serious toll on her skin.
When I picked Jillian [...]

I’ve never been particularly “well-endowed.”
In our family, my sister won the genetic lottery — great hair and a great bust line.
(Not complaining — merely explaining.)
While my chest was average before I had children, nursing three babies took it down a notch (actually a full cup size!). I’m not a fan of surgery — it’s too [...]

For the last year, I have been on a bit of a mission to “green up” my makeup routine.
I’ve replaced my foundation with a more natural option.
I’ve switched to a more natural-based cleanser and moisturizer.
I’ve ditched standard lip gloss for one that has ingredients I can pronounce.
But there’s one area of my beauty regimen that [...]

This is my first vlog. I don’t really relish the thought of being on video (that’s why I prefer to write my blog posts), but this is the only way that I could show you the coolest new way to tie your winter scarf.
So bear with me. Try and suffer through the three [...]

Two years ago I wrote a post for my humble little blog called, “What to Wear on an Airplane.” While the answer seems simple enough (hello, how about clothes?), that post continues to be one of the top searches that brings people to my blog. Apparently, there’s still a good bit of confusion over what [...]

Have you finished your holiday shopping yet?
Yeah. Neither have I.
Although, I do have a good chunk of it done, there’s always a few people on my list that fall into the “Impossible to Buy For” category.
I’m sure you have a few of those too.
So, here’s a suggestion that might help a few of you out. [...]

If you’ve been a blog reader for any length of time, you’ve probably stumbled across the ol’ “What’s in Your Purse?” meme. I always find things like that interesting — probably because I’m nosy like that — but I think it gives you an interesting glimpse into someone else’s life and daily routine.
So, along those [...]

I believe I once shared my hair woes with y’all in excruciating detail.
Here’s the condensed version: Stick-straight, fine hair. Rarely holds a curl. Lacks significant volume.
I’ve tried my fair share of hair volumizing products. A while back, I stumbled across the Sunsilk Anti-Flat line — the answer to my fine hair needs — but for [...]
