Quick Fit Tip of the Week

I'm all about getting it done. Three kids, working from home, life is just busy. For EVERYONE. Except my dog. She is like, thirteen and really old and sleeps 23 hours a day. Half a lap around my block and the old gal is ready for a rest. Me? I need to keep it going. Stay on top of things because like it or not I seem to be the anchor in this family as my friend so diplomatically put it the other day. I'm the rock. The one who keeps things running. That means I need to run even when it isn't always easy. Here's how I do it on the particularly time-crunched days. … [Read more...]

Gluten-Free and Sun Protection? Yes, Please!

Disclosure:  TMC was not paid for this post.  Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only. Today, we hit 80 degree temps in the DC Metro area and that's a first for us this season.  A bit on the late side for my taste but the heat was a welcome change from our cool, rainy spring.  It means (SANDALS!!) that I begin slathering myself in sunscreen from head to toe as I expose more skin during both outdoor workouts and throughout the days. … [Read more...]

Kiss My Face for Earth Day & Every Day

Disclosure: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only.   I don't know about you but I have an arsenal of sunscreen in each bathroom in my house. The powder room by the front door contains the most because I feel like I apply all sunscreen to the kids in the foyer before we head out the door, especially in the summer time. I do not like to run out either.  My preferred sunscreen is from Kiss My Face.  I have used it on myself for years and my only complaint with the kids was that there wasn't a spray version.  It's much easier to spray sunscreen on wiggly little bodies than squirt and rub it in.  That's all changed for this season and I cannot think of a better brand than Kiss My Face to show off on Earth Day. … [Read more...]

Colleen Rothschild Discovery Set

Disclaimer: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only.  Opinions are TMC's only. When the Colleen Rothschild Discovery Set arrived I had been real hesitant to test and try new skincare products.  In the last six months I have finally found a set of products that cured my bizarre case of acne. Something numerous visits and creams, gels and lotions PLUS pills could not do!  I didn't want to mess with the fact that for months (after over a year) I had clear, smooth skin again.  … [Read more...]

Beauty Love of the Week- Jason Naturals

Disclosure: TMC was not paid for this post. Products received are for review purposes only. Opinions are TMC's only. I'm always trying to find new products that help us continue to live green, work with our budget and actually work. I've been using Jason Naturals for a few years, ever since they landed on the shelves at my local grocery store in 2007, and I continue to go back to them. The company has been perfecting the art of natural skin, hair, sun and oral care since 1959, after all. I love that the lotions and creams are paraben free, there are no artificial colors or dyes or perfumes either. It's a good business and some of our favorite products are right here. … [Read more...]
