I live in a land locked state. Going to the beach is a RARE occasion. To drive to an ocean takes at least 9 hours. Last year my family and I went on a beach vacation to Galveston, TX. It was seriously one of the best vacations I’ve ever had for many reasons. For one reason in particular, I felt so good. …

About a month ago I revealed on Instagram that I was newly single. I didn’t do it for sympathy, I did it because I wanted to reveal this new chapter in my life as well as possibly reach out to other women dealing with the fall out of a failed marriage too.

This post might seem like a no-brainer but up until a few months ago I was seriously neglecting my upper chest, or as the french say, decolletage. Let me make something clear, this isn’t a post about boobs. I’m talking about the shoulders, collar bones, and upper chest area. I guess you could say it’s a post about cleavage, but totally…

In the last few months I have been loving my new recipe for a DIY Toner with rose hydrosol. I feel like it goes a long way to balance the skin, further hydrate and even calm the skin, preparing it for a moisturizer. Many people skip a facial spray or toner because they don’t understand how beneficial one can actually be for…
