I used to coupon a lot, taking advantage of drugstore sales and using coupons to get them either really cheap or sometimes free. In that time I racked up alot of products I wouldn't normally buy or risk spending money on {in case they flopped}. I have a bathroom closet full of body wash, soap, … [Read more...]
Found!
April 15, 2010
When we were doing our bathroom remodel, a couple of times I ran over to my neighbors' to use her shower. We live in an old historic neighborhood and many of the homes, including ours, only have one bathroom. (Which is why it needed some updating. Ahem.) Anyway, she had one of those nifty … [Read more...]
My new favorite hairspray (with photos!)
April 1, 2010
Whenever I start to feel a bit frumpy, I hightail it to the salon for a fresh haircut. Conveniently, one of my best friends happens to be a hairdresser; it’s just a matter of texting her “tell me if you get any cancellations this week!!” An added plus, my mom was in town all last week to … [Read more...]

This giveaway is closed. The winner is Melanie. Congrats, Melanie! I certainly hope you enjoy your gift bag. As a teen, the only thing worse than the ugly metal braces I was forced to endure was the embarrassment of crooked teeth that caused me to hide my smile and become shy and … [Read more...]
World’s Easiest Updo
March 29, 2010

While my friends went off and spent $40 having their hair coiffed, I decided that I'd rather spend that money on something tangible - like new shoes. A few years ago, I discovered that only a few key supplies - like spray gel, hairspray, foam … [Read more...]
I’m Not Too Self Absorbed
March 25, 2010
A few weeks ago, I came back from the grocery store with a cart full of food, and a little something extra for myself. I mean, I was buying all kinds of goodies for the kiddos, so why not something for me? I couldn't help myself. On sale, I saw these. All orange and pretty, calling my … [Read more...]
I Like to Tease
March 22, 2010
I've always been a teaser. I remember discovering it when I was in high school and I've never looked back. We're talking hair here people ;) While strolling the aisles of Sally's Beauty Supply a few weeks ago, I spotted a tool that has forever changed my hair's life and I'm busting at the … [Read more...]
Pearatin Saved My Hair
March 8, 2010
Those who know me personally understand that it's not unusual for me to change my hair color often. I could be a redhead one day and a blond the next, as though some hair fairy godmother zapped me with her wand. If only it were that easy. No, instead I go through hours of processing to get … [Read more...]
S.O.S. for Dry Winter Hands
March 3, 2010
For the past several weeks I've been on a desperate search for something to hydrate my daughter's dry, chapped hands. My daughter Jillian struggles with eczema and chronically dry skin. Those issues, combined with the winter months and regular school hand washing with harsh antibacterial soaps … [Read more...]
