Now that I'm a mother I find myself more concerned with the personal products I use in my home and around my family. My brother and my mother have actually done quite a bit of research on the subject, and now that they've done the legwork I feel a bit more educated regarding the things to look for when purchasing these types of products. This explains my excitement when I learned that Live Clean, a Canadian brand of eco-friendly personal care ...

Tips for Avoiding Migraines (Giveaway)
The first time I experienced my first migraine, the first thing my mother asked was "what have you eaten." She knew all too well the symptoms associated with migraines, and most importantly, the triggers. My head hurt too bad to think, but I was almost certain it was the half pound of baby swiss I was munching on just hours before my first migraine episode. Since then, I have known to watch my intake of cheese. Along with cheese, ...
Little Remedies for Cold/Flu Season
I am very conscious about what my children eat, and try to keep their foods wholesome, organic, and balanced. I'm not a food snob, and I know that some days they will put up a fight about healthy foods, and others we will not have organic options around, but for the most part, I try to keep chemicals out of their diet as much as possible. Why should this be any different when they are sick? I have a great relationship with my kid's ...
Reveal Your Best Skin with #DoveTruth
It's been about a month since I started using . Since I've always been an avid Dove product user, I already knew that Dove would be the gentlest on my sensitive skin. I've come to expect "gentle" skin products to be unscented and not lather sufficiently, but after trying the new Dove body wash, I can tell you that Dove has raised the bar and set new standards in skin care. There is a calming fragrance that leaves you feeling refresh, and the ...
Get Smooth Skin With the Professional Skin Care System
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 ...
Get Relief and Savings on #ChildrensMucinex
I'm not big into giving my girls medicine unless they absolutely need it. Even now that my infant is teething, I use more natural methods to manage her pain rather than resorting to pain relievers. My toddler, who has had many colds and fevers, always gets the medicine she needs, but only when she absolutely needs it. I'm lucky to have a pediatrician who agrees with me when it comes to medicine, and when he prescribes something, I trust his ...
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 ...
Shhh.. My Mother Was Right… #DoveTruth
From the time I can remember, my mom would only have Dove bar soap in the house. I watched her every night wash her makeup off with it, and it was the only soap she would use on us as kids. As I got older and started wanting the fun bath soaps I saw on commercials or in the drugstore, I questioned why we couldn't have them. "Dove is the best for your skin and keeps you moisturized." I didn't know what this meant, but it didn't matter- I lost the ...
