This year has rocked my socks off. It has been one of the most challenging, but by far the most rewarding years of my life. Since I partially started this blog as a way to reflect and journal about life, I thought it would only be appropriate to post some of the personal milestones from […]
Fab5: Beauty Products Under $5
Beauty is one category I am no expert on, alas, I am willing to try anything at least once. Being on a budget means never buying department store brand anything, and that’s fine with me…I’ve used that stuff, and in my opinion, the cheap stuff works just as well. Here are 5 products I personally […]

Here’s my personal favorites from the year: April: My Birth Story – Because who doesn’t love to read about […]

Cranberry Juice Inspiration + Healthy Smoothie Recipe
