My Favorite Lip Colors
I feel like I've been wearing the same lip colors for years! Someone once told me that if pull down your lip, that color is a good direction for color that will look good with your skin tone. When selecting lip colors, I tend to choose one pretty close to my skin tone — or […]

Our First Experience With the Cold Plunge
For Chris's birthday, I got him a cold plunge tub. We've both been reading up on all of the health benefits of cold water immersion, and Chris has even been dabbling in some cryotherapy (my personal form of torture).

This 14-Step Skincare Routine Rescued My Skin
Over the years, I've gone on a journey with my skincare. I do a lot to keep my Hashimoto's at bay, but in 2019 my skin took a turn for the worst. It was partly due to the thyroid medication I have to take and also the fact that I have really dry skin. The […]

My Early Morning Routine
Something I'm working on this year (besides having more fun), is dialing in on my routines! I've learned that any time I want to start implementing a new habit or resolution in my life, it's most likely to succeed if I attach it to my already successful routine! Routines over resolutions! Years ago, I started […]

I still haven't sent our Christmas cards out--partly, okay mostly, because they haven't arrived yet--and half of our house is currently covered in plastic because the painters showed up YESTERDAY to paint the entry and Faye's room and the hallway and Polly's room and our ceilings, finally. We're still short a shower door and even […]
