My Favorite Skin Care Products
I have struggled with adult acne for several years now and have tried every single product out there to get it under control. Nothing worked for me until I started using the Clinique Acne Solutions line – along with changing my diet and having a microneedling procedure done. When my breakouts were at their worst, I was extremely self-conscious and embarrassed to even leave my house. No amount of makeup could cover up the blemishes and, of course, that just made it worse anyway. Last summer just before I went on vacation with my family, I decided to try yet another product to get my skin under control before we…

Why I Chose My Daughter Over My Career
I left my job almost two months ago now and there are still moments that I can’t believe I am in this place. I feel like I have lost part of my identity. In many ways, my career defined me and so much of what I believe in. I worked my butt off in college, earning a 3.8 GPA and a bachelors degree while working two jobs and then worked my way up the ladder to my last position. I guess you could say that I have always been career driven, although fresh out of high school I didn’t really have my priorities straight as a new college student leading…

My Budget Friendly Christmas Table
Christmas is without a doubt my favorite season of the year, so you can imagine that I get a little buck wild with holiday décor. I have expensive taste but don’t have the budget for all of my pottery barn finds, so I look for décor deals that won’t break the bank. Besides, who wants to spend a ton of money on dishware and table décor that is only seen for a few weeks (or more like 2 months if you’re like me!). First, let me start but saying that my house is NOT set up the way I’d like it to be. My rather large credenza now sits in…

The Tsunami of Self-Doubt
“The tsunami of self-doubt rolls in when we’re in the midst of a huge leap forward. Let it carry you back to your beginner mind.” -Dana Childs It started with one simple Google search. I was just trying to explore this new journey I am on, once confident that this will lead to great adventure and accomplishment. But as I kept reading, kept searching and kept exploring, the more I began to doubt this road I am on. My chest began to tighten, and waves of doubt washed over me. I recently made a big life decision that was initiated by other bigger life changes, so I’ll safely say that…
