I have been in my cozy perfume era, ever since the first leaf changed on the maple in my front yard. Whenever the temperature dips I bring out the faux fur throws, hot coffee with all the cream, and my favorite vanilla scents. Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid is one that I got in last […]

October is a bittersweet month for me. It’s a month filled with the beauty of Fall, and the dark memories of seeing friends and loved ones in pain. My amazingly resilient mother-in-law was diagnosed with an especially challenging case, just before I found out I was pregnant with our daughter. Making the journey of chemo […]

Ya’ll know me…I just love sharing all of my beauty favorites with you. After a long, scorching summer, I have used up some pretty incredible products. Many of them are my SPF obsessions that are nourishing enough to take you into fall. That’s why I had to create this post on some of my favorite […]

“Look at this stuff…isn’t it neat? Wouldn’t you think my collections complete?” Well never…at least when it comes to makeup. LOL! I have been in love with The Little Mermaid for as long as I can remember. I am so excited for the new version and all of the diversity and beauty that it promises. […]

Blush is my newest makeup obsession! I’m enamored with all of the fun, new colors and formulations. All of this innovation and creativity has me super excited for spring. Blush just has the power to make you look healthy and well rested. What mama doesn’t want that? Bring on the sunshine and pink cheeks, y’all! […]

Sunscreen, especially on the face, is a non-negotiable, but finding one that doesn’t feel sticky and gloopy or look chalky has been a nearly impossible task. Trust me, I have tried tons, and many have failed my test. Yes…I have a test…a bit crazy, right?! More on that test later. First I want to talk […]

Brian and I were at Parker’s gymnastics class the other day and struck up a conversation with one of the other mamas.  Her daughter has beautiful curls, very similar to Parker’s. Well, it turns out that we both have girls with tangly, tender heads.  She joked that she could blow on her daughter’s hair, and […]
