I’ve been reminded this winter about how much I love ProActiv’s Green Tea Moisturizer.
I really don’t need a moisturizer for a lot of the year because I live in the south and it’s just so humid. And while this product is a little on the pricey side (about $30 for 1 oz.), it lasts [...]

Several weeks ago I did an in-between-sizes fashion post here on Chic Critique. Right after that, I found a great nursing-friendly dress (which are few and far between) and did a little follow-up post on the dress on my own blog.
SEVERAL people have asked me how I altered the sleeves. So I’m going [...]

Hey y’all! I’m Moriah, a mother of four living in the South. I started writing for Chic Critique first as a guest poster and then as a regular contributor about a year ago (after meeting Jo-Lynne IRL at Blissdom).
So what’s in my makeup bag? Well, first a little disclosure so you’ll not fall off your [...]

If you’re very new to Chic Critique, you won’t have read anything from me yet because I’ve spent the last three months on sabbatical for baby-having.
Hi, my name is Moriah, I just had a baby and NOTHING FITS.
So, since I’m sure I’m not the only one who might be trying to lose some weight (it [...]

So I know this isn’t exactly a crafty blog. But maybe you have a necklace or other piece of jewelry (perhaps broken?) you’re not really sure what to do with. Try recycling it!
I’ve had this plum-tones necklace I bought at Target a couple of years ago to go with some of my fall [...]

I like the idea of wearing a headband. They can be really cute and trendy and an easy way to dress up a hairdo. (Or glam up an otherwise, you know, bad hair day.)
I mean, how gorgeous are these?!
Target also has some really darling ones, several currently in their jewelry department. (Like [...]

My very, very, very favorite lip balm of all time is Softlips by The Mentholatum Company:
Smooth as butter.
We’re going on about thirteen years together and I’m sure I’ve gone through a couple hundred tubes.
(Which may have something to do with the fact that my kids like to eat them. Seriously. Drew [...]

Every few months I get really bored with my hair. The most obvious fix would be a new haircut, but I like my current length and didn’t want to spend the money for nothing.
So my next choice is color, which I decided to do on Monday. It was a total whim.
(Yes, I’m pregnant. [...]

A couple of months ago I wrote a post on maternity fashion and linked to a pair of Old Navy’s Real-Waist Denim Bermudas. And then they arrived in the mail and didn’t fit. The knees were too tight, of all things.
So I’ve been on a quest ever since to find some dark denim [...]

Do you have any dried-out tubes of mascara you’re ready to toss? Get a few more weeks of use out of them with this handy little trick.
Remove wand from tube and fill tube with water. Dump it out and shake a few times to get the excess out. Pump the wand a [...]
