“Such short little lives our pets have to spend with us, and they spend most of it waiting for us to come home each day. It is amazing how much love and laughter they bring into our lives and even how much closer we become with each other because of them.” John Grogan, author of [...]
I had lunch with a girlfriend the other day, and it was long overdue. We had so much to catch up on, not just about each other, but other friends of ours. I had maybe talked to someone that she hadn’t heard from in awhile or vice versa. Either way, I realized that not only [...]
They say time flies while you’re having fun. I guess that’s why I missed my one year anniversary of joining Beautycounter! It had been an interesting year, to say the least. One “yes” has led me down different paths that I never knew existed. So let me rewind this little journey and tell you about [...]
First of all, to everyone who read my blog or saw my Instagram post regarding my surgery, I’d like to say thank you for all of the well wishes, prayers and good thoughts for my recovery. It means the world to me and has put a smile on my face when I needed it the [...]

When I think back to the dancing days of my youth, I could go on forever about the joy it brought to my life. I felt invigorated when I was on the stage! While I may not have been the most limber dancer, the steps came easy to me for the most part and I [...]
As part of a previous post here, Swap Shock, I had made a commitment to make changes to my everyday beauty products. One of those products was my deodorant. Studies have put the use of aluminum and other parabens in deodorant into question. While they are just studies and not facts, the results are enough [...]
I love each season equally. I really do, even winter! Mostly, I look forward to cooking, baking and (most importantly!) consuming the yummy food that comes with the changing weather! I particularly enjoy cooking soup, which is such wonderful cold and snowy day dish. And the leftovers seem to taste better the next day! Here [...]
