I will be 100% honest with you, as a mom of 5 children who I homeschool I don't have a lot of time for myself and skincare is VERY LOW DOWN on the priority list. However, my friend gifted me a facial service not too long ago and the lady spoke so hig...

I've been using this facewash for over te years. It has a light exfoliant to it, cucumber, aloe and peppermint. Whenever I've tried to find an alternative – nothing compares! 

Think Apricots scrub from the early 2000's but it's actually good for your skin and not loaded with tiny plastic scrubbies that hurt your face!

I always thought these cute eye patches were just for looks until I got some for a gift and made the time to apply some after a shower one day! Wow! I was shocked at how much it made my skin look younger. Of course it didn't erase wrinkles or anythin...

Just checked my Amazon orders and I've been ordering this face powder since 2018. To say when I fall in love with something I commit might be an understatment. This powder has SPF and gives me such a smooth complexion. It erases discoloration, pimple...

The ONLY mascara I have on “auto ship” every few months. Did you know you are supposed to replace your mascara every 3 months? Be honest… are you doing that??

Are you sensing a theme here? YES! I have dark circles OKAY? If my budget isn't up to purchase Tarte this Maybelline is a CLOSE SECOND for covering up all those dark circles from no sleep & mothering.

If you only learn ONE thing about me, learn this. I'm obsessed with eyebrows. Like it's my thing, my jam, my passion. If I had free time and energy I'd go to beauty school just to learn brow. Alas… I don't have either of those things so me and this w...

This is my current set of Shampoo & Conditioner! I tried a sample of my daughters and after my hair felt so smooth and soft I knew I needed the bigger sizes for myself. It has a really like gardenia scent which is my absolute  favorite. I do find I use a lot more shampoo than conditioner. So I will probably need to buy more shampoo before the conditioner runs out.

The creme-de-la-creme of leave in conditioner. It's a splurge item but you use so little and it lasts so long. I think I've only had to purchase this 2x in my life. I use this as an extra leave in conditioner right after a shower. All you need is a P...
