Does anyone else love dressing up and getting fancy, even when the snow and wintry weather hit? Sure, one could stay home in their pajamas, but I prefer to hit the town rather than succumb to Cabin Fever. 

Recently, I discovered Simply Be UK. This UK based shop offers a stunning variety of styles sure to suit any taste, body, and budget! On-trend style without limits? Of course. And fit? It might get left behind by some in this fast-fashion world, but Simply Be won’t compromise when it comes to curves. You deserve it all. 

Simply Be has been leading the way in plus-size fashion for years, so they know a thing or two about creating perfect fits. Every time. And for everybody.

If you know me in real life, you likely know that my hair stands out. I get tons of compliments on my purple locks, and my kids can always spot me should we get separated in a crowd. Playing with color is fun, and purple honestly suits me quite well. 

In order to keep my hair in top condition, I rely on high quality, nourishing hair care products. Good shampoo, conditioner, and styling products truly do make a difference in the overall look and feel of the hair. If you, too, love your hair feeling soft, supple, and looking bright and vibrant, I have the perfect solution from the folks at Luseta. 

Luseta offers salon inspired products made only from non-toxic, natural ingredients. They have several great lines of product, and cater to all hair types. Recently, I was sent the Luseta Color Brightening Purple Shampoo and Conditioner Set for Blonde and Gray Hair to check out for myself. Of course my hair is purple and not gray or blonde, but hey....Purple shampoo MUST work with purple hair, right? 

I don't know about you, but there's nothing I love more than whipping up a fabulous meal for family and friends. For me, cooking is relaxing, and I love playing around with different seasonings and flavor profiles. I especially enjoy experimenting with globally inspired recipes, since I'm a firm believer that the more we experience the culture of others, the more we grow to appreciate and understand them.

One necessity when preparing meals is decent cookware. Sadly, a lot of cookware is incredibly expensive, making it hard for people on a budget (like me!) to acquire. Thankfully, I recently discovered Momscook. With over 20 years of experience in cookware industry and high quality, German design, Momscook offers a range of cookware that doesn't just perform well, it's also super affordable!

January is the beginning of a new year of resolutions to maintain the health of your family. What better way to start 2019 than keeping your family healthy with the right supplements and having some fun in the process?

This year, I am taking the proverbial bull by the horns and am making this MY year. I've never been stronger, healthier, or more confident, and I plan to use 2019 as THE year to finally get into ideal shape, get healthier, and just enjoy life for once, without worries of being "not good enough". What does that even MEAN, anyway? 

Anyway, one way I plan to be at my best this year is by making sure I always maintain a healthy diet, and include supplements for the areas that may be lacking. My favorites come from Superior Source, since they're literally painless to take!

If you know me in "real life", chances are, you're well aware that I'm actually involved in various types of activism. I volunteer for a lot of things, both online and off, and one cause I've always been passionate about is the legalization of both Hemp and Cannabis. These incredibly versatile plants could solve so many problems, and help create a healthier, more sustainable future for generations to come. 

Anyway. I'm not going to get on my soapbox too much here. We'll just say that I'm pretty enthusiastic about the benefits of Hemp and Cannabis, and am always happy to help spread the word about products that utilize these wonderful plants. 

Today, I'd like to talk about hemp derived CBD products from Hempure. Our bodies actually have CBD-receptors, meaning we're literally built to favorably use CBDs. (Learn more about CBD here.) These products are wonderful in helping to promote overall wellness, and they're completely free of THC. 

What does that mean?

It means that you won't get a "buzz" or "high" from these products, as there's no psychoactive THC present. The use of CBD products is just like taking any supplement, and it won't turn you into a kale munching, tree hugging, Woodstock loving Stoner. (Not that I find any of those things unappealing.) CBD just helps you be the best YOU by supporting overall wellness and relaxation.
