How I [Continuously] Reset My Face … Because Life

Olay Regenerist Moisturizer + Serum - Verastic

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. Does it ever happen to you where a change in season or life or schedule throws you off for a bit and you need to reevaluate your entire routine? For me, that is EVERY TIME. This past Christmas and New Year were especially difficult for me because I had a lot of sudden changes that were competing for the other anticipated changes to come.

When You Grow Up, You Glow Up

Olay Cleansing Infusion Hydrating Glow Body Wash & Facial Cleanser with Deep Sea Kelp

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Olay. The opinions and text are all mine. Growth is essential in all facets of life. Not growing is the same thing as regressing, isn't it?

Natural Deodorant Review: Native

Looking for a natural deodorant that is free of parabens and aluminum? Check out my honest (and unsponsored) review of Native, a natural deodorant

Let me preface this post by making it clear that this is NOT a sponsored post. A while ago, I wrote about how I stopped using deodorant for a while and suddenly had even-toned skin under my arms. Well, since then, I have been on a hunt for a natural deodorant.   I have been using Secret for years, and honestly, I love it. It smells great, it glides on easily, and it doesn't leave that nasty white residue. And to be clear, I use only the clear gel, never the invisible solid. I have tried Read More

How Starch Made Me Want To Be An Adult

Niagara starch | How To Iron With Starch | Ironing With Starch

  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Niagara Spray Starch. All opinions are 100% mine. Oh, childhood, where did you go?  I just know that I cannot be the only one who was a child dreaming about adulthood. I had plans for all the things I was going to do when I became an adult. Like I was finally going to eat all the candy bars I wanted, and I was finally going to drink energy drinks, instead of just juice. Don't ask me why my mom was very specific about juice. Read More
