  • Busy is Better

    Busy is Better

    I’ve been so darn busy I haven’t even had a chance to sit down and send an update.  I had a pretty major week in the world of health.  We flew to Tampa last Wednesday for our 3 month follow up with scans, blood work and the whole she-bang!  I know exactly why I didn’t…

    Fave products- alert!

    I have been using a great HD primer by Smashbox called Photo Finish, and this tiny little tube has lasted me a long time.  It’s nice to put on under your foundation when you know you’re going to be taking pictures.  I didn’t use it every day because 1- it’s expensive ($36 http://www.ulta.com/photo-finish-foundation-primer?productId=xlsImpprod3590041) and 2- I…

  • Reality Check

    Reality Check

    Here’s the truth…I’m out of shape.  Lots of moms fall into this reality.  I have always vowed that I wanted to stay in shape and not let myself go, even after kids.  I’m thin (which I’m thankful for), but I’m so incredibly out of shape that it’s pitiful.  I have been trying to work out…

  • A smile is the best makeup?!

    A smile is the best makeup?!

    I don’t know that I agree with this statement.  Yes, a smile is amazing and can work wonders, but the best makeup is probably in a skinny tube that has a brush that screws into the top, called mascara.  I think a better phrase would be “A smile is the best accessory.”  Unless you consider…
