And perfect, handmade scarves. When I was going through my closet the other day to put together something to wear for our company party, I realized just how many colored pants I have. I don’t really know why other than when paired the right way, the second you put them on you automatically

Flawless Foundation
I follow my fair share of blogs, and as much as I wish I could take credit for coming up with this genious trick, I actually tried it based on the suggestion of Pink Pistachio's blog. Typically I wouldn't post something on here that's someone else's tip, but this is such.a.lifesaver (er, skin saver?) that I decided I still owed it to all of you who read my blog to reap the benefits of this trick. And for anyone who doesn't check back on Pink Pistachio's blog regularly, I stro

Chicken Dumpling Soup (low-sodium, low-fat, high flavor)
This recipe was developed by a very dear friend of mine; I only made modifications as explained at the bottom of the post. Hello beautiful people! So today I’m lucky enough to have the day off (and actually tomorrow too, giving me a four day weekend…woohoo!) because I had some extra 2014 vacation days back at my old big girl job that need to be used up before the end of January. This means I’m spending some quality time with my mini and devoting her naptime to sprucing up thi

Winter Layers With A Twist
Ok, so a little disclosure before today's post: I hate being cold. Like hate it, hate it. I feel like my toes go numb after being outside in the winter for any extended period of time without toe warmers in my shoes.

How To: Be The Best We Can Be
This post is in affiliation with KIND Snacks. All opinions are my own. I’m so excited about the great comments and personal messages I received from Wednesday’s post that I want to react to some right away that broached the topic of learning more about healthy eating. While eating healthy isn’t always easy, it also isn’t as hard as some people make it out to be. My belief is that the primary difference between those two outlooks is education. Like I briefly mentioned in Wedne

My Fitness Journey
This post is in affiliation with Fabletics. All opinions are my own. I’ve mentioned fairly often on here the positive impact that fitness and living a healthy lifestyle has had on my life. From my mood to my energy levels, I always feel better when I’m on a consistent workout routine and filling my body with primarily healthy foods. Since it’s the second week of January, my guess is that incorporating a fitness routine might be on a couple of your resolution lists as well. Wh

Making Toddler Brushing Fun
This post was sponsored by Tom’s of Maine. All opinions are my own. TOOTHPASTE! TOOTHBRUSH! A little water (not to much!)… If you have a toddler and access to the Disney channel you’re probably {at least somewhat} familiar with Doc McStuffins. And if you have a toddler that loves Doc McStuffins songs as much mine does, you’ve probably heard the lyrics to the ditty referenced above. As someone who could be considered borderline obsessed with her teeth, once Adelyn’s mouth star
