I've always been curious to try an exfoliator system, but feared that it would be too harsh on my sensitive skin made me reluctant to take the leap and purchase the pricey system. Then, I found out about the ToiletTree Professional Skin Care system that is just a fraction of the price of other systems out there, and decided to give it a try. In all honesty, I figured that if I couldn't use the system on my face, I could use it to exfoliate my ...
For Her
Go Red for Women and Join the #QuakerHeart Twitter Party
Heart disease is commonly thought of as a "man's disease." I can tell you that after watching a close loved one suffer from heart disease for several years, this statement is farthest from the truth. She was an older woman, and after doing much research on her specific case, I learned that women are just as likely to suffer from heart disease as men, but it often goes undiagnosed due to the old thinking that women generally do not suffer from ...
Mia Mariu Mineral Cosmetics {Giveaway!}
My skin has been sensitive from the time I was a kid, and it doesn't seem to have gotten any better. I am very careful about the cosmetics, moisturizers, and cleansers I use on my face because I can break out very easily from using the wrong products. I'm still experimenting with cosmetics because my skin can vary from oily to dry, and some cosmetics that work great for my summer skin, don't fair well for winter skin. I've heard of Mia Mariu ...
BellaVita Phone Wallet for Style on The Go!
Anyone who knows me knows that I pack very light. When it comes to toting things along for the kids, I make sure I have all the necessities, as well as an emergency bag in the car for those unforeseen accidents. For myself, I only bringt the absolute necessities: my phone, credit cards, license, keys, and cash. A lot of my friends are surprised at the sizes of my handbags and usually make the same comment, "that's all you have with ...
Do You Travel Light?
Mama's got a brand new bag! And no, it isn't a diaper bag. But, I will admit that I use it as one. My hubby complains that I have too many bags, but I need them. All.of.them. Sometimes I need a big bag and sometimes I don't. A girl has to have options! My latest bag is the Baggallini Enchant and I'm so in love! I try to pack light when we go out because it is generally hard to juggle a baby, a toddler, and a bag of infant necessities. A backpack ...
Have You Heard of Menstrual Cups?
It's been about a year since I heard of menstrual cups and I'm still not sure if they are a way of the future, or a fad. I've read that they are very popular in European countries and are growing rapidly in popularity here. I've asked a few of my friends what they thought of menstrual cups and not one of them had even heard of such a thing. It was time for an intervention! I had to call all of my closest girlfriends over to introduce them to ...
Splurge vs Steal Ramiro Encizo Clutch
I think most mommies can say that their wants have gone on the back-burner since having kids. Gone are the my days of designer handbags and department store makeup. I still love pretty things, but my budget is limited and diapers take precedence over high-end accessories. I just fell in love with a Ramiro Encizo black clutch bag that is just perfect for a night on the town, or a formal event. The Jamila Clutch in glazed sapphire python is so ...
Take The Zumba Fitness Core Challenge!
I desperately needed an intervention. I know what most people say: "Don't be so hard on yourself, trying to lose all that baby weight." But for me, it was so much more than losing the weight. I wanted more energy to be able to handle both kids, I wanted to be in shape, not necessarily a size 4, but to be able to go up and down the stairs without being winded. My last pregnancy took all that energy out of me and left me feeling sluggish long after ...
