It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
Oh, the joys of motherhood! You’ve made a whole human, survived childbirth (go you!), and now you’re floating in that weird postpartum twilight zone where time doesn’t exist, your coffee is always cold, and your hair is shedding like your dog in July. Yes, mamas, postpartum hair loss is very real—and as if the thinning…
Introduction to Hotel Diffusers Walk into a luxury hotel, and you’re immediately greeted by more than just elegant décor or a warm receptionist. There’s often an inviting, calming, and luxurious scent floating in the air—almost as if it’s part of the atmosphere. This magical touch is made possible by a hotel diffuser. Scent has the…
Let’s be honest—summer is doing the most. Between the kids home 24/7, the dog shedding like it’s his full-time job, and the A/C working overtime (read: $$$), the last thing I want to do is spend a fortune on a bedroom makeover. But that doesn’t mean I want my bedroom looking like a crumpled dorm…
In today’s fast-paced world, stress and exhaustion have become part of daily life. Bathing, an ancient and comforting ritual, is regaining popularity as a way to unwind and nurture both body and mind. Immersing yourself in warm water not only cleanses your skin but also calms your spirit, creating a deeply soothing escape. With the…
Alright, fellow parents: summer is here, and you know what that means. Endless snack negotiations, bathroom pit stops every 37 minutes, and the age-old cry of “Are we there yet?” echoing through the minivan or TSA line. If the idea of family vacation feels slightly more chaotic than charming, don’t worry—you’re not alone. But here’s…
Hey, let’s talk about something real for a sec – hair loss isn’t just about what’s happening on your head. It can hit you right in the feels too. Lots of folks feel self-conscious, anxious, or even a little down when they notice their hair thinning or falling out. It’s like losing a piece of…
There’s nothing quite like a destination wedding. The sun, the setting, the excuse to make your guests take a vacation? Yes, please. But while you’re busy thinking about villas, vineyards, and how to politely word a no-kids invite, don’t forget: your beauty routine needs to travel, too. Different country, different climate, different schedule — none…
Your bedroom should be your own personal retreat, and choosing the right bed can make all the difference to your daily comfort. That’s exactly why I decided to put divan beds to the ultimate test – living with one for an entire year. What started as a simple bedroom upgrade last spring turned into a…
Listen, if you had told me a decade ago that one day I’d be homeschooling five kids while babywearing a wiggly 13-month-old like it’s just another Tuesday… I would’ve laughed and offered you a snack because clearly, you needed a break. But here we are. Five big kids learning math and science at the kitchen…
Let’s be real: motherhood is beautiful and fulfilling—but it’s also exhausting. Between school drop-offs, meal planning, work, and bedtime routines, your own needs often take a backseat. If your sex drive isn’t what it used to be, you’re definitely not alone. Libido naturally rises and falls throughout life, especially during and after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and…
Okay ladies, gather ’round. We need to have a little chat about your skin. Yes, yours. I don’t care if you’re still using the same apricot scrub you’ve been loyal to since high school — it’s time to upgrade. Because guess what? We’re aging. And while we’re still cute (thank you very much), those fine…
Becoming a parent comes with a strange new filter. Suddenly, you’re analyzing everything through the lens of: Is this safe? Useful? Going to make my life easier, or harder? That filter gets even sharper when it comes to high-quality baby toys and gifts. You’ve seen it. The avalanche of noisy, blinking, plasticky stuff that all…
There’s something truly magical about Italy’s coastline. Maybe it’s the sound of church bells echoing through sleepy villages, the salty breeze from the sea, or that first bite of lemony pasta as you gaze out over a landscape that seems painted rather than real. The Amalfi Coast is often top of the list — and…
Okay, remember when we used to sleep on futons or lumpy hand-me-down mattresses in our 20s and thought that was fine? Yeah, same. Fast-forward to me now—an elder millennial with a cranky lower back, a love of ergonomic things, and zero patience for bad sleep—and I’m here to tell you: you deserve better. Enter: the…
When most people hear the word “Botox,” they instantly think of wrinkle reduction, smooth foreheads, wrinkle-free eyes, and youthful appearances. It’s no surprise, given Botox’s reputation as the go-to injectable for cosmetic enhancement. However, what might come as a surprise is that Botox, or botulinum toxin, is far more than just a tool for reducing…
As our beloved pets age, their needs change significantly. Just like humans, senior animals require extra care, attention, and medical monitoring to maintain a high quality of life. Caring for a senior pet is both a responsibility and a privilege — a chance to give back the unconditional love and companionship they’ve provided over the…
