I’m a lover of almost all cookies, well all sweets for that matter; however, I needed to find a healthier option that would cure my sweet tooth while not making me feel too guilty of making unhealthy choices.

I will be the first to admit that finding clothes for my 5’11 frame is exceptionally challenging. And I…

Last year I came across the clothing brand Mango, and my obsession has taken over! While in London, my husband and I stopped into one of their stores to see their new fall line, and thank goodness my suitcase was already full because I would have purchased the entire store. Over the last few months, I have found more and more wardrobe staples that are a must in…
My Grandmother would always say to me, “Your smile is contagious!” I always knew since then; my best asset was my smile. When I was younger, during a family photo shoot, I noticed my teeth weren’t as sparkly white as I would like, which I felt needed to be corrected – ASAP! For Christmas, my parents gave me teeth whitening from our dentist office as a gift. YAY!…

The holidays are upon us, and as cooler temperatures arrive, we start dreaming about sunny beaches and icy drinks with tiny umbrellas. More specific, the resort vacation! Am I right?

I love cooking scrumptious baked goods at the house. The delicious aroma fills the house and nothing beats eating a warm, moist pumpkin muffin right after it’s been freshly baked (be sure to cool before eating). Over the years, I started adding baked goods into my routine and that seems to make people wanting more…especially my husband. My wonderful mother-in-law gave me a couple of recipes that were…

I love getting all dolled up and wearing fantastic makeup. It has to be one of my favorite things to do. But I also enjoy taking it all off at night and having a squeaky clean face.
