Skin Food

I know this sounds like a broken record but I have sensitive skin. My poor son has really sensitive skin. I think that combined with excessive drooling from teething (these molars may kill me yet) has given him these sad little dry patches on his cheeks and chin. I picked up a tube of Weleda […]

Get the Red Out

To say that I am tired would be an understatement. The past few days I have woken to swollen, bloodshot eyes. I’m a mom with a busy life but you know do I have to look like it? I see women all over the place and they don’t look like this. They must have nannies […]

Come With Me to Strawberryland

At long last I have returned. I am finally, FINALLY in my new house after the longest, most painful move ever. Fortunately the Big Man and I managed to not kill each other and the Bug was surprisingly cooperative. Besides getting a little teary eyed during one of those full circle life moments as we […]

Wake Up Call

I’m back readers from my girly weekend in New York City and the results are in. Drinking and eating too much on very little sleep makes me look like crap. I am in serious need of detox. SERIOUS. I haven’t had that much to drink since maybe college. It was ugly. I never made it […]

See Ya Later Alligator

I’m sick…again. This must be the Universe’s payback for being an insanely healthy child. My nose has been alternately running like a faucet or clogged like the kitchen sink after my husband does the dishes. Anyway my point is that my nose is all sore and more sensitive than normal, if that’s possible. Thank the heavens that I […]

Homemade Skin Cleansers from Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market (referred to in our home as whole paycheck) has some great skin cleanser recipes on their website. Most of it is stuff you probably have sitting around and would not have to make a special trip to go buy. I can’t resist homemade remedies. They are just too easy and you can do so […]

The Incredible Edible Egg

Today on PlanetGreen there’s a great recipe for a firming face mask using egg whites and cornstarch. There’s also tips on what you can do with the leftovers. You can also use the yolk as an acne treatment. Just whip the yolk for a few minutes and then apply to skin. Leave on for 20 minutes […]

Are We Done Yet?

 In my family the Holidays begin the first of November and extend well into February. Thanksgiving, Christmas and a seemingly endless line of birthdays mean that we are so not done with gift giving. Which just makes me want to cry, but anyway. So I came up with a great idea for a gift and I […]

New Year’s Resolutions

After an uneventful New Year’s Eve, my thoughts turn today to the year ahead. I’m not a resolution type of person but I do like to take stock each year and make a plan of action that I think I might be able to stick to. There’s power in numbers so I am encouraging anyone […]

Those Teenage Hoes

“Those teenage hoes in a line at your door”. My husband had me convinced that these were the lyrics to Fiest’s song 1234. It got me thinking about those horrible teenage years. There were no teenage boys in a line at my door. If my teen years had a soundtrack it would be Janice Ian’s […]
