My Six Winter Skincare Essentials

Winter in the Midwest can be HARSH–especially for your delicate skin.  I have combo/oily skin so during the winter, I take a slightly different approach that really locks in hydration (although I like a hydration routine all year round).  All these items I have purchased several times and have become a staple in my cold […]

And Just Like That, The Year is Over

And Just Like That, The Year is Over So long, farewell, auf Wiedersehen, good night!  It’s my last blog post of the year.  Also, I watched Sound of Music the other night so it’s fresh in my head.  As I watched, I wondered why it seems to be a Christmas movie tradition–there’s nothing holiday about […]
