I know it’s only Spring, but when the sun starts shining bright and the heat kicks in here in Arizona we say it’s basically Summer! Something about Summer puts a smile on my face. That extra sunshine and warmth just boosts my mood like no other, does that happen for you too? That turn of mood can only lead...

I think I would feel very stagnant if there wasn’t always a few things I could work on for myself. My health and my family’s health are very important to me. I always try to find ways for “better living” because it makes me feel good, whether it be a new exciting way to get some exercise in, new...

I’m far from being a crunchy mama, but I try to make suitable, healthier choices for my family regarding how we live. I’d like to think I’m setting a good example for my daughter in getting daily exercise, exploring my creative outlets for stress relief, and better food and product choices for the family. All those little things add...

A few things drew me to this foundation aside from seeing...

Curious about Beautycounter's Reflect Effect AHA smoothing mask? I share all about it here!

My first taste of Josie Maran products was her Whipped Argan Face Butter that I absolutely LOVE year-round. The texture and moisturizing capabilities just WORK for me and will continue to be a part of my routine in the future. It then prompted me to give their Intensive Daily Repair Body Butter a try which I also fell in...

We spend so much focus on skincare for our face, but what about our bodies? Sure, I like to try out all kinds of body care in addition to facial care, but not all of it focuses on active ingredients like something for the face. I have a few products to share in the pipeline for you that I’m...

Have you tried liquid blush before? I had to think about it for a minute because I really thought I’d only used powder or cream. But after digging around my makeup cabinets I discovered I have tried liquid versions before, but was miserably bad at it and left it to be forgotten. Turns out that particular brand just didn’t...
