The Soothing Company: Gardenia Bonsai Tree

Gardenia Bonsai Tree

I grew up in a hose with a rather large plant-to-furniture ratio, one where plants easily outnumbered the furniture. And my mom’s current house is the same; plants are everywhere! My mom has a green thumb which my genes decided was not that important for me. I still want to have a house with plants in every room (except the boys’ room, of course). And I have been doing just ... read more

Unstitched Utilities Shoes: Next Day Low

Unstitched Utilities

I have always been a sneakers kind of girl. I am 5’7″ and never saw the need to add a few inches to my height. Of course this has all recently changed and now I have at least 4 or 5 high heeled shoes. Still, I lean more towards a good and comfy pair of sneakers. And a few days back I got to add a brand new pair of ... read more

Bannor Toys: Wooden Cars

Banner Toys: Wooden Cars

There is something about toy cars that just scream Boy! to me. And even though they are just a car they can still be so much for. They can be a car, a race car, a rocket, or even a plane. They are fast, slow, silly. They break down, their tires get flat, and require several pit stops and trips to the gas station…all in 5 minutes or less. Bannor ... read more

Carol’s Daughter Monoi Oil Sacred Strengthening Serum

Carol's Daughter - Monoi Oil

I haven’t always been one to take good care of my hair. While growing up I only used the shampoo and conditioner my mom would buy on clearance. It wasn’t until I moved out of the house that I started buying my own. I never got anything else to treat my hair. In all honesty, I didn’t really know there was other products that will keep my hair healthy. Lately my ... read more

Little Pnuts: filling little hearts with joy

Little Pnuts: Imagine. Create. Play

What kid does not like toys? Even though boxes may still be a favorite, there is that special something about toys that boxes dont’t. Needless to say, my boys love toys. And something that they both love just as much as toys is getting packages in the mail!! This time they got an amazing package from Little Pnuts that blew all of our minds away! J. was awake when the package was delivered ... read more

Diamonius: Simulated Diamond Jewelry

Diamonius - Simulated diamond jewelry

I wasn’t always into fashion, but now I see it everywhere. No, I am not about to turn this blog into a fashion blog, I am not that into fashion. But I have started to put more thought into what I wear. I have been taking risks. I have been walking away from my comfort zone, and it feels good. But it is always nice to be able to go back to ... read more

On one of my perusing through ... read more

Exederm Ultra Sensitive Skincare

Exederm ultra sensitive skincare

J. has always had this tiny patches of tiny round bumps on his tummy; tiny clusters of them. I never thought much of them since I get the exact same patches on my arms during hot weather. But then I started noticing that no matter what the weather was he still had them. And in fact he was getting more. I tried many different lotions: mine, Johnson’s, and so many ... read more
