unday is a day of rituals. For some it’s church, for others it’s CBS Sunday Morning and a cup of coffee in their jammies. For me, it’s taking a few minutes to take care of my skin – because I’m really terrible about it during the week when things get nuts. I’m over at momtastic [...]

You know these product lines that have been around for years but you’ve never really looked at them for some reason? Mary Kay is one of those for me. A few months ago, my old friend, Kollette, went to work for this longtime, iconic company and I had the great pleasure to strike up a [...]

Have you gotten on the miracle train that is beauty balms yet? BUY A TICKET. Once an Asian secret, these all-in-one products are nothing short of the greatest multi-tasker ever.
