Refresh & Renew Because I Have To

It's no longer a secret that I have been busy overhauling our house.  It was like "OVERHAUL OUR LIFE" in a way.  I cleaned out so much and found many unused products.  A few came in and made the cut and here are my favorite keepers that I have been using to refresh myself and feel renewed through this whole house overhaul process. … [Read more...]

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...]

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...]

Clayspray the Only Spray Clay Masque

Disclosure:  TMC was not paid for this post.  Products received are for review purposes only.  Opinions are TMC's only.    My friends make fun of me for having certain routines and schedules in my beauty routine. Exfoliate on Wednesday and Saturday. Masques once a week and keeping up my nails on an almost daily basis. I pluck my eyebrows when needed, the list goes on.  They can laugh and joke all they want but the routine keeps me on top of things but also feeling like I'm not losing myself in the swirl of life that is raising three kids.  It is the same schedule, give or take, that I kept before I had the girls. One thing that I have sacrificed is using products that make a mess or take up too much time.  It's just a given at this point in my life.  While I may test out a … [Read more...]

Beauty Love- Lumene CC Cream & Violent Eyes

I have a deep love for Friday's in October. I can't quite pinpoint the reason but unlike any other time of the year Friday afternoons in October just feel loaded with anticipation. Maybe it goes back to the start of a new school year, high school dances and the feeling of endless possibilities of what the school year could hold. The slight chill in the air, the crisp coldness as the leaves crunch beneath your feet and you take a big breath in of the fall air. It's heaven. Friday beauty love feels almost as good. … [Read more...]
