There is a makeup line available at Target that I love. Â It’s called e.l.f (eyes,lips,face). Â I love it because it’s inexpensive, but not *cheap*, if you know what I mean. Â Here are my favorites: #1 e.l.f All Over Color Stick – This thing is a life saver. Â I use it as a creamy blush and …
I get a spontaneous drooling problem when I visit Anthropologie’s website.  There are so many beautiful things that I, a. can’t afford and b. don’t feel properly equipped, design wise, to incorporate the gorgeousness into my humble home.  I do  see lots of things that are diy-able or that I’ve seen elsewhere for less.  Which …
We took a way too short vacation and I really want to share it.  We went to Laconia, NH and stayed minutes from Weirs Beach.  It’s a place I went with my family as a child and I’ve always loved it’s laid back, easy going vibe.  We rented a little condo right on the water. …

“Sneak in a workout” is what my husband says when he wants to run to the gym for an hour or three and work out and play basketball. Â While I’m not always a fan of the length of time he spends at the gym, I am a fan of the concept of “sneaking in a …

Yesterday I laid out a basic plan for tackling daily and weekly chores. Â Just enough to keep the house in decent shape. Nothing too fancy. Â Just the basics. Â Today I want to do the same, but this time for keeping my body in decent shape. Â I look back at this post from a little over …
I’m not a fan of going to the nail salon. Â It’s just too much face to face time with someone I don’t know and who is also wearing a face mask. I don’t know why that bothers me, but my socially awkward, introverted self can’t handle small talk for that extensive amount of time. Â I …
