New Year’s Resolutions already get a bad rap. It seems both arbitrary and basic to equate a turn in the calendar with getting our lives together. New Year’s resolutions inspire hope. And I need that hope now more than ever. The little girl who loved the start of a new
The current beauty industry is a bit of a problematic cesspool. From beauty brands (Morphe) to gurus (Jeffree), many are just awful. Some beauty gurus are coming out with hairy lipsticks, or not vaccinating their kids, or making hate videos about teenagers that are definitely not about vitamins. We probably
It’s hard to find easy developmental Thanksgiving activities for toddlers and preschoolers. Many Thanksgiving preschool and toddler activities are too complex, messy, and time-consuming. The crafts involve scissors or dreaded paper mache. There are too many steps; they ask toddlers for more attention and dexterity than they possess. Here’s a
Adulthood means that, sometimes, you have to buy gifts for people you don’t like. Maybe it’s a family gathering and you’re assigned to buy for one of the difficult aunts. Or a work shindig where it’d be amiss if you gifted everyone except that jerk Chad who keeps taking credit
QRxLabs brings affordable skin care to the masses. It’s me, I’m masses. Or, at the least, I’m a veritable skin care junkie. Keeper of half-filled bottles and those cardboard samples from magazines.

Stauffer, a Mommy Vlogger with millions of subscribers between her YouTube channels, admitted to “rehoming” her autistic adopted son. Rachel and Dave Hollis recently announced their divorce. It’s my opinion that Myka’s abandonment of her
Bronzer used to scare me. I found it unnatural and unnecessary; a one-way ticket to Oompa Loompa Land. Bronzer was for more dramatic, 90210 types, not me. Well, I wrong. This staying in the house all the time (thanks COVID-19 quarantine!) has me pale AF. Bronzer provides a nice flush
Ah, the Dirty Thirties. Our 30s call for a targeted skin care routine. If you haven’t followed a skin care routine, the time to start is now, in your 30s. Why? The chaos of our twenties is (hopefully) over, but the effects of previous bad decisions are becoming visible now.
In terms of Christmas decor, I really came into my own this year. It’s the third Christmas in our house and I’m starting to understand what does and doesn’t work for our unusual 110-year-old interior woodwork.
