Yummy Food!

So I got some new food items that are blowing my mind. I watch this YouTuber named Flavcity (https://www.youtube.com/user/flavcity) and he shares a phenomenal amount of information about ingredients. I will say some of it is a bit over the top for me but I am learning so much! He shares a lot about “Keto and Paleo”, which I probably won’t ever get into, but the ingredient breakdown is where it’s at! The first thing…

New Finds!

With the new year, I’m trying to discover what I want for this blog. I think for now it is a journey, which I am okay with it. At the end of the day, isn’t that life? For today, I am going to ramble on about a few of my favorite new things because it’s fun. Since having C, I must admit that makeup (as well as most other hobbies and – let’s be honest…

Do Natural Deodorants Work?

In years past, I used clinical strength deodorant/antiperspirant because – well – a girl has to do what she has to some times. However, in time, even those began to not work so well; perhaps it is something with my body’s chemistry. In any event, I began exploring the wild world of natural deodorants.

Favorite baby things

Eight months ago, life was changed as she said hello to the world (at the early hour of 4 am and has been waking me up at the crack of dawn every day since). For months before that, lots of research was done regarding what might be needed to take care of this creature. There is a lot of stuff out there for just that purpose. I will preface the upcoming information with a few…

Best Hand Lotion Ever!

Until recently I have been lucky enough to enjoy relatively low maintenance skin. It has been oily (along with my hair), but does not particularly breakout thankfully. However, in the last few years, especially in the colder, drier winter months, I have started getting these dry patches on the backs of my hands. This also worsened while I was pregnant last year, even in the summer. When I tried to put some lotions on, it…

Mascara Thoughts

I do not buy a lot of makeup at Sally Beauty these days. In the past, I was incredibly fond of some Palladio products but to be honest, I just got out of the habit of checking there for any makeup. Then, I watched a few reviews for Col-lab products by both Sam (using it hereĀ … I could not find a review just for the mascara) and Tati (her review) which brought me back in…

Favorite YouTubers

Confession time: I spend sort of a ridiculous amount of time watching YouTube. It all began with (to the best of my recollection) two old school beauty people by the name of Makeup by Tiffany D and Makeup Geek. It was around 2010 give or take a year. Marlena aka Makeup Geek had just started her makeup company and I found her via the blog as I had also just fallen in love with makeup.…
