This is a product-provided, sponsored conversation that contains affiliate links. I received the Conair Quick Twist™ Double-Stranded Braider for my own personal use. All opinions, text and experiences are my own. I have never been a very creative (or capable) mom when it comes to doing my girls’ hair. French braids? I never could […]
Mother’s Day is coming up soon…and so is graduation and Father’s Day and a ton of family birthdays. And a family wedding. In other words, I have entered the season of gifts. I pride myself in being able to find the perfect gifts for my family members (the ones that live with me) but […]
I’ve been thinking about making my own soap now for a while, and this past weekend I finally got around to doing it. I took the easy route and used a shea butter soap base, so all of the trickier steps of making DIY soap with lye was done for me. I just got […]
Whether it’s cold and dry where you are…or it’s hot and sandy…I don’t know many hands and feet (and elbows and knees) that couldn’t benefit from a little sugar scrub. There are so many awesome scented beauty products out there, but I’ve been discovering lately how much I love to make my own homemade […]
I received select pieces of the Good vs Evil Disney Princess Beauty Collection as part of the Disney #Sleeping Beauty | #Maleficent | #DisneyInHomeEvent | #VeryBadDayEvent press trip. Travel, accommodations, and products for review were provided by Disney, but all opinions are my own. Are you a Maleficent or an Aurora…where makeup is concerned? […]
This post is brought to you by L’Oréal Paris and She Speaks. All opinions are my own. I had pretty decent skin as a teenager. I remember one of my best friends complaining that my skin was a little TOO flawless (of course, I didn’t agree with her!). Now that I’m approaching my 40th […]
Ready to party?? My friend, Tara Smith, is an Independent Consultant for Jamberry Nails and I am throwing a party with her this week! This is not a sponsored post or party…but if people make any purchases through my party I could earn products from the Jamberry store. Just keeping it real. What is […]
I received Alberto VO5 Salon Series products in order to conduct an honest and thorough review. No other compensation was received and all thoughts about the products are my own. Harsh winter, dry hair! The winter’s harsh weather (frigid temps, dry air, and not enough time outside) did a number on my hair. Add […]
The 2014 People’s Choice Awards brought out the fun and funk side of the most loved entertainment stars. Since this awards show is voted on by the public, stars felt more relaxed and let their personality really shine. This post is sponsored by Walgreens. All opinions are my own. Here are some of my […]
I’m one of those women who would never DO anything with my hair if I had a choice. I feel like I’m constantly running around, from one task to the next important task, and the simple act of catching a shower every day can be a challenge. Getting showered, dressed, and made-up is success for […]
