Prime Day has become one of the biggest online shopping events of the year ouside of Black Friday/Cyber Monday, and it’s no wonder, since the retail giant slashes prices site-wide. Last year HB and I jumped on the sale to purchase, site-unseen, one of my favorite appliances in the house: our smart washer (with pedestal washer) and smart dryer. They were called the Kenmore Smart (no longer available on the site) and they’re amazing. Highly recommend buying appliances on amazon.…
– Or, How Not to Lose Your Shit in 10 Hours – Dreaded and feared, the longhaul flight with a toddler. I don’t claim to be an expert on this, because this will be my first attempt, but I have a few qualifications: I have traveled internationally overseas since the age of 6 months straight through into my teens, every year to visit family in Norway I was the oldest of five children spanning a decade in age ranges, so…
When our kitchen faucet finally broke (hip hip, hooray!)…I decided to condense the myriad finishes in the kitchen. We had: stainless steel, polished chrome, oil-rubbed bronze, satin nickel….it was like someone had a mad dash through the hardware store ala Supermarket Sweep and grabbed whatever they could find.

I know the importance of lipid layers for the skin’s protection, so it makes sense to my medical mind…

M. Gemi is launching a new Italian-leather, Florence-made boot called the Corsa and it is gooooooorgeoussss. They asked me if I wouldn’t mind trying a pair to review prior to their release and I enthusiastically said yes (I was not compensated and I did not guarantee a review nor did I guarantee any mention or more specifically a positive mention–they shipped a pair of boots and I could either love them or hate them). Well, the results are in, and I…
There are a few things that getting older has taught me that is actually of some benefit…(1) Hold out for Mr. Right, not Mr. Right now, (2) if you’re going to drink at a party, alternate with glasses of water, and (3) my skin loves chemical exfoliation. That last tip is something that I’m a bit of a late bloomer in learning, but it has “made all the difference” (thank you Mr. Frost). I wanted to introduce you to a…
