Since no one's getting any younger, it's generally a good idea to formulate a good skincare routine. Things like harmful rays from the sun, pollution and other environmental and stress related things can truly take a toll on the skin. The right skincare routine is absolutely essential, in my opinion. Of course this means different things for different people, as well all have unique skin and different skincare concerns. 

For me? Well, being that I'm over 30, have 3 kids, and don't get nearly as much rest as I should? My concerns consist of the beginning signs of aging, uneven skin tone, dryness, and of course, STRESS and lack of sleep. 

Thankfully, I don't have to guess which products would be most beneficial for me. The folks at Y'OUR Skincare have me covered with their personalized, custom skincare. That's right, these natural, effective products are custom made for each customer based on their own unique skin and catering to their own specific skin concerns. 

Concert season is upon us! This is literally my favorite time of year, because we go to a LOT of concerts and music festivals during the nicer months.

So far on our lineup? We've got Tom MacDonald, Snow Tha Product, Caskey, Mod Sun, Machine Gun Kelly, Train and The Goo Goo Dolls, and of course, a family reunion of sorts and my favorite event, ESTFest. This is a weekend long music festival hosted by Machine Gun Kelly and friends, and this is where I go to see the beautiful people I've chosen to be my family. EST means "Everyone Stand Together", and that's exactly what we do in the EST Family. 

So to say I'm excited about concert season is an understatement. This year, it's gonna be LIT.

I am a HUGE fan of PRI, and of Manuka Honey in general. Domestic honey has been in the news lately, and not for very good reasons. Thankfully, I don't have to worry about my Manuka Honey, since it comes directly from beautiful New Zealand, and is completely pure and clean. 

Were you a shy, awkward, insecure kid? Were your teen and preteen years memories you'd much rather leave in the dust?

Boy, can I relate! I never felt like I fit in anywhere, and I certainly never felt that I was pretty. In fact, I never felt I was good enough at all. 

Thank goodness for Glowing Up, right? It's amazing what difference a few years can make.....

Girls Trip’s Regina Hall and Black-ish’s Marsai Martin both star as Jordan Sanders — Hall as the take-no-prisoners tech mogul adult version of Jordan and Martin as the 13-year-old version of her who wakes up in her adult self’s penthouse just before a do-or-die presentation.

Insecure’s Issa Rae plays Jordan’s long-suffering assistant April, the only one in on the secret that her daily tormentor is now trapped in an awkward tween body just as everything is on the line. Little is an irreverent new comedy about the price of success, the power of sisterhood and having a second chance to grow up — and glow up — right.

Will Packer, blockbuster producer of Girls Trip, the Ride Along franchise, and ten movies that have opened No. 1 at the U.S. box office, including Night School, No Good Deed and Think Like a Man, brings an all-new perspective to the body-swap comedy.

One of my favorite things to do is to play around with different makeup looks. I actually have a rolling cart full of makeup, which totally makes me feel extra, like a celebrity or something.

Hey, a gal can dream, right?

Anyway, I am very into creating different looks to suit my mood, an occasion, or even an outfit I'm planning to wear. From mild to wild, innocent to tempestuous, makeup can help transform a look completely. The right products can help one look their absolute best, whether it's a casual, daytime look, or something more dramatic for date night or a special event.

Lots of spring weddings coming up, right?

I'd love to tell you about some of my favorite, budget-friendly cosmetics from Hard Candy. These products are perfect for spring, and will help you update your style without breaking the bank. They're also versatile enough for any taste and style profile.

This week, my kids are entering Spring Break. Sadly, a proper vacation wasn't in the cards for us this year. Okay, who am I kidding? We don't ever really go on vacation for Spring Break. Anyway, we will be spending time here in the Cleveland area, and plan to do several local outings to the zoo, museums, and even to our gorgeous local parks. 

Another thing we will be doing is cutting out the screen time, forcing our kids to ~gasp~use their imaginations. We try to limit electronic/screen time anyway, because while technology is a wonderful thing, we musn't become too dependent on it. There's still plenty of wonder to behold in the world, even when we're not glued to our mobile devices. 

One of my favorite ways to teach mindfulness and creativity is through art. The Buddha Board is a great tool that helps me accomplish these goals painlessly and mess-free, too!

Buddha Board is inspired by the Zen idea of living in the moment. You simply paint on the surface with water and your creation will come to life in bold design. Then as the water slowly evaporates, your art will magically disappear leaving you with a clean slate and a clear mind, ready to create a whole new masterpiece. Buddha Board is environmentally friendly as it only uses water - no ink, no paint, no chemicals - and it will last for years with proper care. Live for the moment and enjoy!

Unless you've been taking up residence under a rock, you probably know that essential oils and aromatherapy are all the rage right now. There are tons of EO's on the market, and about a million different diffusers for them. Some pretty...Some more utilitarian, in all shapes, sizes and colors. You probably have at least one long lost friend from high school who sells such products and randomly pops into your DMs with the latest sales or info. 

While these aromatherapy diffusers all LOOK different, they typically have a couple things in common: The need for water and being powered using wires or cords. This can create a challenge, especially in baby's nursery or in the room of a younger child. For one, the need to go back and forth for water can be tiresome. Also, the cords associated with most diffusers poses a safety risk to our youngest family members. 

Thankfully, there's a solution for these common woes: theROAMA, the only patented waterless, wireless diffuser on the market. (And no, it’s not MLM/direct sales related.) That's right! This is a gamechanger, and requires no water, no wires (other than to charge) and it actually WORKS.
