What We Learn Becomes Part of Who We Are

I was around 8 years old when my Aunt Alice taught me how to sew a quilt. I can still remember loving the process. We shopped for fabric, looked at patterns, and I clearly remember feeling confident. I was not afraid to TRY or make mistakes. Aunt Alice had my back. She encouraged me and …

Why I’m Not Afraid To Admit I’m In Love With Lush’s ‘Sleepy’ Body Lotion

I'm not afraid to admit -- "I'm madly in love and addicted to a body lotion."   I can't get enough of Lush's Sleepy Body Lotion and it's sweet, lavender-scent.  I wish that I could pinpoint the ingredient that transports me to a euphoric, calm state of mind but just knowing it's available year-round (yep, YEAR-ROUND) …

I’m too old to remember at this point BUT I do know how important it is to cleanse your face every night. ENTER double cleansing. WTHEdoublehockeysticks is double cleansing? It involves washing your face in two steps. …

Retinol, what is it good for?

Retinol, what is it good for? Absolutely A LOT, especially for those 35 and older! It’s proven to combat wrinkles, reduce sun spots, clear acne, rosacea, AND shrink pore size.
