Look in my car, medicine cabinet, totes, purse, beach chair and pretty much anywhere else and you will come across bottle after bottle of sunscreen. We have liquid, spray, wipes, oil, with SPF ranging from 8 (I know, I know...) to 60. Thanks to living at the beach and spending our days with … [Read more...]

Stop the Burn

Living at the beach means on most summer days you can find me and my kids with our toes in the sand. Sandcastles, boogy boarding, jumping waves, it's all in a days work for us. Being in the sun all day requires multiple applications of sun tan lotion, but inevitably we still manage a few burns … [Read more...]

As any busy woman can probably attest too, it can be challenging to find the time to fit in an appointment at the nail salon. Just this past week as we were sitting in a meeting, I was complaining to a friend how badly I needed a manicure, but I just didn't see anytime soon when I would be able … [Read more...]

Fun in the sunDRESS

With the arrival of sunshine and warm weather, I bid my jeans goodbye. I know there are some who wear jeans year around and to you all I say, rock on. I am a total jeans girl in the cool weather, but I cannot stand even the thought of wearing them on a hot, summer day. During the summer I … [Read more...]

Chocolate. It isn’t just for eating.

What can I say? I love chocolate. It never lets me down, but fills me with happiness every time I put it in my mouth. I'll take it in bar form, ice cream, candy, drinks, and even in my face mask. Yes, you read that right I use a face mask that is chocolate too! Hemloq, which is the … [Read more...]

Red Wine…It’s Not Just For Drinking

After a long day at work, I enjoy coming home and relaxing with a glass of wine at dinner. But, I never thought to treat the outside of my body with red wine too. That is until I came across a Red Wine Body Scrub by Abrione. The Red Wine Scrub contains anti-oxidants from red wine … [Read more...]

Eyeslices. Bring the Spa Home with a Giveaway.

ImportedPhotos00136

I like spas as much as the next mom, wife, woman, but unfortunately the cost of a day at the spa doesn't fit in my budget as often as I would like. Because of this I am always on the lookout for home spa treatments. When I first saw Eyeslices I was intrigued. What are Eyeslices you ask? Let … [Read more...]

Beautiful Lips with Beeswax

Burt's Bees Lips

During the winter I'm always battling the chapped lips. My chapped lips have the tendency to go from chapped, to a big ol' cold-sore, so as soon as they start burning, I start applying. I've tried chapstick, carmex, soft lips, and while they all were okay there was always something missing. … [Read more...]

The Smell of Hawaii

I shared with you all my love for my Uggs, but one thing that I have to admit I do not care for is the dry, itchy skin that I have after I wear them all day. My legs usually get very dry in the winter anyways, but there is something about the inside of my Uggs that seem to make my legs even … [Read more...]
