My goodness – winter is in full swing around here. Can you feel it in the air? With temps dipping below freezing, you’re sure to see the effects in your skin and hair. Having worked in a salon for several years before my kids came along, I may have gleaned a skincare tip or […]
Brrrr. ‘Tis the season to be freezing, am I right?!? I don’t know about you but my skin is FEELING the effects of the cold that is hanging in the air. Only a few days into freezing temps and my lips were already chapped and bleeding. What’s a girl to do? Exfoliate and moisturize […]
If you’ve been with me since our adoption journey, then you probably know plenty about Ordinary Hero. But for those of you who haven’t heard of them, let me enlighten you. Ordinary Hero was founded by the inspiring Kelly Putty. What began as an outreach in her own backyard morphed into something bigger than […]
It will probably come to no surprise to you that I love color. So that ongoing color block trend? Yeah, that’s right up my alley. And the more unusual a color pairing, the happier I am! Now I know there’s nothing too unusual about pairing mustard and eggplant tones, but it is just screaming […]
A friend recently brought to my attention that she never saw my kid’s Halloween costumes. It’s a fact that I pulled off a classic mommy fail – forgetting to post pics of my kids costumes. Awful mommy, right? Well I’m here to redeem myself…and only two and a half weeks late haha! Being that […]

Please excuse the cheesy title. But really, I could barely contain myself when I came across this wide-brimmed beauty during our vacation down in Carlsbad, CA. My husband helped me celebrate my weight loss with some new clothes. Even he could admit that the saggy-butt jeans were just NOT cutting it anymore. Ha! But […]
I haven’t always been a lipstick person. I mean, it’s not like I had anything AGAINST it…I was just blessed with naturally pink lips and didn’t feel I really needed it despite an occasional special evening. My mom, on the other hand, has “needed” it as long as I’ve known her. “Lipless in Seattle” […]
Brrr! It’s coooold over here. I don’t know about your parts of the world but we are feeling the full effects of fall here in Seattle! It might just be because we JUST came from SoCal…but I just can’t seem to warm up no matter HOW many cups of coffee I drink! I guess […]
Happy November everyone! I trust that y’all had a great Halloween out trick or treating with your kids (or whatever else you love to do to celebrate). Hubby was working late last night so I did the single mom trick or treating – PHEW! THAT was exhausting – I don’t know how you single […]
