Skin care mavens, product junkies, and hard-core beauty enthusiasts: listen up!
Summer came with its share of skin care woes thanks to high humidity, extra layers of sunscreen, chlorine from the pool, the occasional gingerly applied doses of bug spray, and mayyyyybe one or two mojitos too many? No doubt, more than a few of us are now making a beeline to our local spas...
I shared recently that my home is Grand Central Station to three busy kids, a neighbourhood-ful of friends, and our two pets. Now in the middle of summer vacation it's only gotten busier. Summer camp, fishing day trips with Dad, and helping Grandma in the garden are par for the course, but this summer we're also building our new house. Overcommitted? Yeah, you could say that.
A few years ago I jumped on the power toothbrush bandwagon and never looked back. In fact, due to my raving I know of quite a few people who received a power brush in their Christmas stocking. Most of them were initially disappointed (kind of like receiving socks, you know?) but everybody changed their tune after using these miracle workers for a week.
Hey, GOSH Goddesses! We're SO excited to announce this new opportunity which is practically guaranteed to knock your socks off.
You know, normally when we introduce Product Review Club offers we start with a personal anecdote to explain how well a product could fit into your daily life. On this occasion, anecdotes are completely extraneous because (a) it's makeup, (b) it's from GOSH,...
Every year I resolve to do more for my health. Not being strict enough to go completely over the top with my health resolutions, I tend to pick a new, very achievable goal every couple of months in the hopes of turning it into a long term habit.
For example:
(1) start eating kale (yessss! where have you been all my life??) (2) eat less bread (#sadface. Am waiting for the garlic...
I'm always looking for these so-called "teachable moments" when instructing my kids about personal hygiene. My childhood was sprinkled with cavity fillings every other year thanks to the super-sneaky trick of running my toothbrush under the faucet instead of brushing properly so I could get back to the zany adventures of Archie Andrews read after lights-out by the glow of the streetlamp....
I'm a mom of three, so you know I've seen it all. One of the funniest parenting experiences I have had was the pleasure of introducing my babies to solid foods.
New parents sometimes ask me: "How do you know when your baby is ready for solid foods?" Trust me, you just know. Babies go from oblivious, cooing non-participants to eagle-eyed gluttons who will snatch greedily at your fork...
I think after the horrible winter we had this year, we all deserve a little pick-me-up pressie, don't you?
Mine came in the mail recently from an online spending binge: a gorgeous black sleeveless top with a bit of a peplum-y flare at the waist. And while I was at it, I tossed a chunky statement necklace into my e-cart, too.
My kids (ages 7-14) have been involved in four sports (indoor soccer, basketball, outdoor soccer, track & field) in three different leagues, plus a community theatre stint in addition to frequent dirt biking, tromping through water-logged ditches and generally getting as filthy as possible every single day.
Even as I watch her plump self burrowing into my basket of clean laundry for a nap and it's driving me crazy, I remember that time she killed 3 snakes and eradicated the local rodent population in the space of one week.
But the real reason she's a hero to me is how she comforted our young daughter after a major relocation which had triggered weeks of...
