If you have a cosmetics junkie friend--you know what I mean--it may be time for a gift that takes thing back to a natural, cleansing place. And a new line I just discovered, Board and Batten, could be a perfect fit with their "farm to sk…
We're always so excited to find nursing tops that are cute enough to wear beyond the confines of our bedroom. We're also huge fans of double duty maternity/nursing tops, because who wants to invest in multiple tops that you'll wear for s…
I'm really digging the newest spin on beauty subscription boxes , which are now providing full sized products instead of appealing to the dabblers with a bunch of trial-sized samples. Along with BeautyDNA, the newest beauty subscription …
I love fun, fashion-forward jewelry, but I don't love when the jewelry--or my skin--changes colors after a little wear. Metallic temporary tattoo jewelry is a fun new trend and smart solution that we're seeing everywhere--the logical, fa…
Perhaps thanks to Sophie the Giraffe , teething toys have gotten way more fun than the rainbow plastic rings we used to rely on. That drooly baby stage now has its own array of accessories from chic teething jewelry for moms to handmade …
As a mom of two boys, I have cleaned up a lot of pee in the past six years. Potty training boys involves many missed toilet bowls, thanks to potties that don't accommodate the special needs of boy parts. If only I had had a Potty Wiz , a…
Meal time with a toddler can feel like a special kind of hell. Aside from picky eating, the real frustrations for me came in when my little eaters managed to throw what seemed like all of their food on the floor. If you're the type of pa…
A week after our summer vacation rental, I still couldn't get the musty smell of the house out of my clothes. I also couldn't forget the splintery deck, scary spiral stairs, and tangle of electrical wires that stressed me out as much as …
I don't travel light. It's hard to with two kids and an affinity for shoes , which is why a neck pillow is one of those useful travel accessories that never really make it into my carry-on. For the first time I'm reconsidering, now that …
Beauty subscription boxes are definitely the new black. (Aw, remember when Birchbox was the only game in town?) But as fun as it is to receive a monthly box of mini beauty products, it's frustrating when what's inside doesn't work for me…
It may still be on the warm side outside for some of us, but fall fashion is officially in full swing. In my kid-free days the new season meant a shopping spree was in order, but today I'm more apt to update my look with a new nail polis…
The end of summer is sad enough, but it's also left behind a bunch of shiny new sun spots on my face even though I smeared on so much sunscreen all season long. The good news is that I found a relatively easy fix in the Lumene skincare l…
One of the biggest questions we see around the web is when to replace makeup. And I totally get it. I have a drawer full of makeup--like that cool auburn eyeliner that I might wear some day, or a pale pink lip gloss that was awesome over…
Mornings can be a bit rough in our house. For my three-year-old, getting the right shoe on the right foot (or left foot, as it were) can add even more chaos to a stressful situation so I'm thanking the foot gods for the new personalized …
Okay, I know it isn't 1984 and Madonna isn't the world's biggest style icon, but I must confess that I've started showing my bra straps again. And not in the "I-have-a-baby-feeding-from-my-boobs" kinda way. And here I must confess that o…
As organized as I may be in other aspects of my life, I consider myself a bit organizationally challenged when it comes to my handbags. No matter how big or small it is, I always manage to lose things I need in the black hole of my tote …
It's the oldest joke in the world that we spend so much time looking makeup that makes you look like you're not wearing any, but that's exactly what Dr. Perricone is going for with the new Perricone MD No Makeup Makeup collection. The br…
Figuring out an outfit on a daily basis is not easy. Add pregnancy to the process and you can get a recipe for frustration as I can say from experience. Luckily HATCH , my favorite chic maternity brand, just introduced the HATCH Layers s…
I've recently given up nail salon visits and switched from hours-long salon hair color appointments to an amazing new at-home color system . It's not because I don't love professional help, it's just that I'm busy! I need time saving bea…
After recently trying a new skin care serum and mask made from kale , I began to wonder just how hard it would be to whip up some skin care recipes homemade in my own kitchen. I'm a natural beauty junkie, so half of my products already c…
Moms have long lamented the fact that newborns don't come home from the hospital with instruction manuals . But Baby Pibu skin care for babies , founded by dermatologist mom Dr. Amy Kim, actually does come with instruction cards. Okay, s…
I remember keeping a certain unicorn tee in heavy rotation when I was about nine, so girls' obsession for unicorns is hardly new. If you know what I'm talking about, I've tracked down some cool unicorn clothes for girls out there to sati…
I'm currently trying to stage a ban on plastic (probably not ideal for our health) and paper (definitely not ideal for the environment) cups from our household. So when I saw the newest launch from Lifefactory -- durable drinking glasses…
In an effort to tame my locks sans chemicals, I rounded up the best anti-frizz hair products for the summer for you all. Because I know that I'm not alone here! At the first sign of humidity in the air, my thick and wavy hair goes crazy.…
