It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
With Spring in the air, now is a good time to start sloughing off the dry, scaly winter skin to reveal a fresh, vibrant you . While you can always splurge with a salon peel, there are a number of great products available to get the same results at home. Clinique’s 7 Day Scrub cream…
Around this time every winter I get so tired of my clothes. My standard uniform is jeans or leggins with a sweater or bulky shirt. I start longing for cute t-shirts and dresses , strappy sandals and short skirts. But alas, I live in a heavy snow cimate (particularly heavy this year) so jeans and…

I’m a total bath junkie, always on the lookout for new products I might enjoy. This could seem frivolous. What you use to bathe can’t really matter, right? It’s the bathing itself that’s important. Well, no. Here’s why I disagree: The shower and bath are sanctuaries. No matter what else is going on in your life, it’s a…
Summer is the season of free-flowing waves or springy curls, but that care-free look may lack it’s original luster from when you were a kid, if you’ve been damaging your hair all winter. Chemical processing, dye jobs, and heat styling are the major culprits of damage, so if you have done any or all of…
When you are in the produce isle at the grocery store, picking out fresh fruit and veggies, do you ever wonder where the produce actually came from? Sometimes they aren’t labeled and it’s a mystery! Especially when it comes to salad… Does it really matter? The Food Channel thinks so. They list “Food Sourcing/Vetting” as…
Courtesy of www.inhabitots.com It turns out attachment parenting isn’t scandalous at all, though some still consider it to be. In my opinion, it’s the healthiest form of parenting for a child and it’s how I am raising my second son, Daniel. But, I have still received criticism from friends and even some family members for…
I’m prepared for a couple of you to go into shock (don’t worry… the boy did too!), but I’m making a big commitment to myself for the month of February. I will not be purchasing any unnecessary items. NONE. For the whole month. Don’t worry, I’ll still be spending money at the grocery store, but…
One of my favorite singers, bar-none, almost wasn’t. That’s right. Her career almost never got started at the ripe old age of sixteen. She was sent to an audition at a famous singing hall because of the sound of her voice. A voice that was so sweet it sounded like angels carrying spoons of dripping…
About a month ago, I got an email from a rep at Whooga boots that wanted to know if I’d be willing to try out a pair of their boots. While the warm winter boots are quite controversial in the fashion world, you really can’t deny that they are practical for winter and a must-have…

The new Gillette Venus Embrace has 5 blades to give you the closest shave ever. I like the Gillette Venus razors over any other brand specifically because of the rounded head and moisture strip that goes all the way around the head. I’m not a huge fan of shaving, nor am I a connoisseur on…

Ladies, there is no reason to sacrifice comfort for fashion ever again. Comfortable shoes used to mean ugly, orthopedic-looking shoes that your grandmother would happily wear. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Top shoes brands that are known for their comfort like Aerosoles, Clarks and Naturalizers have recruited some fashion-forward designers to make sure…
With Summer fast approaching, you need to learn all you can about the sun and how to protect you and your family. Some sunlight is good for you and is necessary for your body to produce Vitamin D which is super important. However too much sun and you can get a sunburn, wrinkles, and even…
In this economy, we’re all trying to save as much money as possible. One luxury you can easily eliminate is hiring a tailor. I found a great product that allows you to temporarily shorten the length of your jeans or pants that are too long to wear with your favorite sandals, flip flops, sneakers or…
