Modern day motherhood is complicated. Um, scratch that. Motherhood, whenever it is happening is complicated. It was never not compilicated. According to a recent survey conducted by Ivory soap, 80 percent of American moms think motherhood is actually more complicated today than it was 20 years ago. Probably. I mean our lives are more complicated and the guilt is more complicated so why not, right? The survey also found that 66% of Moms copped to hiding in their bathrooms for some alone time. Yup, I would install a mini-fridge in my bathroom if I could and live there sometimes. It is my go-to space for peace and quiet. In no way sponsored but somewhat insteresting- Ivory recently launched The Soap Dish, a light-hearted social community … [Read more...]
Amazing Party Looks and Deals
Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://moms.dailybuzz.com/channel/style.It is pretty common knowledge that my other job is writing and testing out beauty products. I am not choosy either. From lipstick to liner, sunless tanner to hair serum I will give it a try. If it works I am on board. When the holidays roll around I go into a sort of hyper-drive in the make-up department. For amazing party looks and a break from the cold weather blues one of the first places I stop is my local drugstore. One of the best places I have found to look my best each holiday season is Walgreens. I'm a sucker for their Essie nail collection.
