Makeup and me- we have a love hate relationship. I love it, it hates me. I can never pick the right cosmetics for my skin type or tone. When I do fund cosmetics I like, I can't seem to find a shade that matches my skin tone. Apparently I'm in between colors. When I was contacted to try out the new Avon Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation, I actually had to think twice. How can a PR rep pick out a color for me when I can't even do it myself? You can ...

SPF 50+ Shirt Review and Giveaway
One of my dear friends had skin cancer years ago. When I had the opportunity to review the Yellowman Flower Clouds Sun Tee, I knew that I had to pass this one along to her. She was so grateful that I shared this with her that she wanted to give her own personal account of what she felt about this shirt. Here is her review: As someone who had skin cancer removed a few years ago, I try to avoid the sun at all costs. I wear a gigantic hat that ...
Nutrisystem Week 11 (Hubby’s Post) #NSNation
This week I noticed I am not ready to get off the Nutrisystem plan. I still have a little over a month left. I thought I would have been able to control my eating when we ate out, but this wasn't the case. I overindulged one night when family came to see us and we decided to go out to dinner. The next day I felt sick to my stomach I didn't want to eat anything. Since then, I learned that I can enjoy my foods but not over eat. I came up with a ...
Nutrisystem Week 11 #NSNation
I love that ever since Nutrisystem my refrigerator is always full of fresh fruit and vegetables - and now my hubby actually eats them because he knows it is important in his diet. Nutrisystem not only offers weight loss, but an entire lifestyle change which is what sets it apart from other diets. Instead of starving yourself thinner, you actually have to eat the right amount of calories and include all of the essential vitamins and nutrients from ...

My little girl finally has a playroom!
We have been living in our NYC home since we got married in 2007. We are fortunate to have access to the basement, which was a total mess and needed A LOT of love. My hubby and I have been putting this project off because there was just too much going on and we agreed that when we had a baby we would tackle the basement. It has been 2 years since that conversation and we finally grabbed the bull by the horns and started to clear it out. ...
Blue Bunny Personals Party #BBPersonals
I have a bunch of friends who are mommies and we try to coordinate our plans so that our little ones can have a playdate. Anyone who is a mommy and hosts playdates knows that even though there are other mommies around you to chat with, you still don't have an opportunity to sit and relax and just chat without being interrupted by a child who needs to go potty or an argument over who gets to color with the red crayon. When I heard that wanted to ...
BKW Steak Rub Review
Being that it is BBQ season, we grill meats at least 3-4 times a week. I love experimenting with various rubs, seasonings, and recipes and getting opinions on them from my friends and family. BKW Steak rub was on the list of rubs to try, so I used the rotisserie on my grill and the roast turned out completely amazing! My daughter is hit or miss with her meat, but this was a 3lb roast and there was barely enough for our guests because ...
