First Impression of Meaningful Beauty Products

meaningful-beauty-starter-kit

I was very excited to have been selected as one of the bloggers to give a new line of facial cleansing products a try. You may have heard of this line recently...Meaningful Beauty. This product line is a collaboration between Cindy Crawford (the epitome of youth) and anti-aging specialist Dr. Jean-Louis Sebagh. I must say Cindy Crawford is a perfect face for this product line. I would have no problem looking like she does at her age. My products arrived and it was full of some … [Read more...]


Honey and Her My Twinn (Back From the Doll Hopsital)

mytwinn-review

Before Christmas I posted a My Twinn Review . In that review I mentioned my mistake in choice of eyes and hair and was debating on sending the My Twinn to the Doll Hospital to switch to a more comparable color. In the end I decided to do just that. I sent back the My Twinn asking them to darken the hair and switch the eye color to blue-green. This was the first picture I posted of Honey and My Twinn and you can see how light the hair is and the bright blue eyes. With the … [Read more...]


Seven Years Ago Today : Grandpa Rick

Rick

Sometimes it seems like yesterday other times it seems like it he has been gone too long. Seven years ago today my stepfather passed away. He lost his battle with cancer in the morning hours of February 17th. I think about him often and the grandfather my children only know in memories. My daughter (named after my stepfather) never met him but she knows who he is. I posted this some time ago and thought it appropriate to post again today. It was a poem I wrote for my daughter … [Read more...]

Valentine-Build-A-Bear

A Letter to My Love on Valentines Day

i-love-you

  Oh this special day, the day of love I publically write this letter to my husband:   To My Husband, I am practical. I am logical. I am anything but romantic. This you know about me and grudgingly accept. I don’t pretend to be someone I’m not. I’m not a mushy, lovey dovey, heartfelt card kind of person. I always go with the funny and humor, because I enjoy to smile and laugh. I’m writing this today to tell you for that acceptance of me I love you. I … [Read more...]


Grab your FREE $5 Walgreens Coupon Today

walgreens

Walgreens has always been my go to store when it comes to pharmacy items, makeup, and that odd what not that I need to pick up. I use to religiously sit down each and every Sunday and look through the circular ads for any great deals before I did my weekly shopping. As time has progressed and seems to get shorter by the day it is a rare occasion to see me spending time anymore checking out the circulars. Walgreens has just unveiled a new and improved circular with additional … [Read more...]


A Little Upset With Applebees Friday Night

applebees

So Friday I decided on an impromptu dinner with the family. It is very rare that we go out to dinner. If we do decide to eat out, so to speak, we usually order and eat in. The story itself is quite a long one but I want to highlight a specific experience that night. We decided to head over to Applebee's. We were actually pretty lucky, we thought, when it came to timing. We seemed to have made it in right before the Friday night crowd. There was about two or three people a head … [Read more...]


A Smart Family Surfs Online the Smart Way

kIDSure-Review

Each passing day makes it easier and easier for criminals to steal your identity if you haven't taken proper actions to thwart them. Of course identity theft can happen to anyone no matter how careful you are but the more careful you are the less chance it will happen to you. Honestly this is not one of my strong suits. I do so much online I know I've opened myself up as well as my family to this very crime. One of the easiest ways I can think of off the top of my head for a … [Read more...]


Preparing Mentally For Health Goals

clothe-shopping

So I've talked about a new supplement plan, I've purged my soul of my less then spectacular first month of 2012, and listed all my fitness tools what is left you might ask? The outer layer that I must deal with on a daily basis is what is left. I have told you how mental I am when it comes to losing weight. Any small thing can set me off in the wrong direction. Knowing that only gives me the power to not allow it to tempt me from my path and goals. Right now the majority of my … [Read more...]

Time for a Do Over!

doover

Exactly why I did not commit to weekly postings about my week loss because I was afraid of too many "hopefully I will do better next week". Unfortunately after two weeks of a pretty good commitment I didn't just fall off the wagon I jumped onto a horse running in the opposite direction. I admit it I'm a junk food junkie at heart. I love junk food, candy, desserts, salt, and soda. It sucks I know, but there good be worse addictions that is for sure. One of my major problems is I … [Read more...]
