We recently went on vacation and as I was packing my “just in case” bag, I thought it would be fun to share what exactly I pack just in case one of us comes down with something while on vacation. It’s just not an option for us to run to a local pharmacy and load up on allergy, cold or stomach bug…

So summer is winding down-school is about to start and I’m starting to get goosies (i’m using that word too, J.Lo) just thinking about fall!!!!

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…

Summertime is upon us and I’m ready for some warm nights on the patio! Normally I am not a sangria fan. I just don’t love tons of sugar in my cocktails and I’m not a red wine fan either. After I brought home a bottle of white Zinfandel and realized it was too sweet for me, instead of throwing it out,…

I don’t know about you all, but summer has wrecked my hair and skin! A beach vacation, a chlorine filled pool, 100 degree weather and too much sunblock has just left my hair and skin lifeless and dry. It’s time for an at-home spa day asap! Forget expensive spa treatments, we can do this at home for way less and reap just…
