It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
Disclaimer: I participated in a Blogger Activation on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Stonyfield. I received coupons to facilitate my shopping trip and a promotional item to thank me for participating. I am a huge fan of yogurt. I realize it’s not for everyone, but for me, it’s literally a comfort food. If…
I never even visit the JCrew website because I pretty much love everything they have and can’t excuse spending that much money on any of it! But this morning, while perusing one of my favorite fashion blogs, I spotted a silky chambray tunic that I couldn’t live without, regardless of the price. And then I…
I’m 35 weeks pregnant now and trying my best to keep eating healthy even though I feel like sitting and eating a bowl of popcorn and a gallon of ice cream for dinner. I recently discovered D’Vida pre-made smoothie packets and I’m so glad I did. I have a quick, go-to option when I don’t…
Now normally, I don’t get all excited about freaking light bulbs, but these lights bulbs are seriously worth mentioning. GE reveal® Light Bulbs offer innovative, clean light that really makes any room look more beautiful. My husband is ALL ABOUT light bulbs and after we purchased our house, he immediately changed every single incandescent light…
I am totally obsessed with Somaluxe Moisturizer ($44)! I opened the jar, thinking I was just going to be trying yet another moisturizer and was immediately taken away to a dreamy land… Their website says nothing about this moisturizer having a fragrance, but my sensitive pregnancy-nose detects the creamy cocoa butter, coconut, raspberry and rose…
I have had a purple “Hello Kitty” bathroom in every single apartment / house I have lived in for the last 10 years. Regardless of renting rules, I painted everything single bathroom a gorgeous shade of light lavender to match my Hello Kitty shower curtain and bath mat that I bought shortly after I married…
February is the month of all things red! Yes, it’s Valentine’s month, but it’s also American Heart Month! In the spirit of the season, Bitter Root Vintage offered to send me out a few pieces to try so that I could see the quality and share my thoughts with all of you! Bitter Root Vintage…
Considering I have been out of commission for almost 2 weeks because my entire household had the flu, I can safely tell you what all natural cold remedies actually work! (I won’t bother mentioning all the things that don’t work in this post, let’s just focus on what is actually helpful and worth buying and…
When my husband and I decided to enlarge our family and have a third child, we started by changing a few things in our lives months ahead of time. We started going for walks everyday to get (me!) into physical shape, we started eating healthier and we tried to streamline our routine with our two…
I’m not due until mid May, but I’m definitely nesting right now! I’m trying to figure out how I’m going to store my cloth diapers this time, what’s the best laundry detergent for baby clothes (which I will post about soon) and how to get organized before I’m too fat and tired to do anything!…
Lately, I’ve spent more time keeping my family well dressed than I have myself! I guess that is just what happens when you’re pregnant… Yoga pants become the norm, anything but slippers hurt your feet and buying new shoes for your hubby is more fun than trying to cram your swollen feet into a pair…
Dear Santa, I don’t want a lot this year. Just a few select accessories, some comfy maternity pajamas for my growing belly and a nice pair of slippers. My Christmas Wish List featuring Fossil Gap Metallic Maternity Sweatshirt / UGG Australia Andi Pom Slippers / Fossil Decker Chronograph Watch / Fossil Sydney Shopper / Urban…
It’s that time of year again! Everyone is desperately trying to get their Christmas shopping done in time. Who can be bothered with what they look like right now? Well, please… I beg of you! Don’t go out of the house in sneakers and pajama pants. I’ve seen WAY too many ladies out shopping wearing…
I’m currently 17 weeks pregnant with baby #3 and I’ve made a huge change in my beauty routine in the past few months. I’ve switched to all natural makeup, thanks in part to 100% Pure Cosmetic’s all natural, organic, vegan beauty products. I recently read several articles about the horrendous and toxic ingredients in mascara….
My name is Shannon Smyth, founder of A Girl’s Gotta Spa!, a beauty blog that just celebrated its 8th year! I’m SO excited to tell you about our newest venture–creating our namesake natural bath and body line! Just like you, I too, am tired of hearing all about the next “trendy” ingredient. Brands are launching…
My hair is frizzy, thick and usually quick unmanageable. I get to review a lot of shampoos and conditioners in my line of work here, but most of them do not work for me. I know it’s not my incompetence because sometimes my stylish has trouble with my hair too. Some products just don’t work…
