Last winter, I was constantly getting sick from the kids – picking up their coughs and sneezes as often as I picked up their laundry. I scheduled a visit with my doctor to do routine bloodwork and to see if there was any medication or precaution I could use to better maintain my health.

Read MoreThe Good of Glycerin: Why It’s So Important in Skincare
So, what exactly is Glycerin? I must admit I didn’t know much about Glycerin before writing this post even after years spent working in the cosmetics industry. If I was playing one of those word games and Glycerin came out, I’d probably shout “SOAP!” without a second thought. And it’s true – Glycerin is a component of many, many personal products we…
Read MoreHandle Your Morning Like a Boss
Mornings might have been the boss of me lately, but I realize that has got to change. I’ve truly never been a “rise and shine” person, even after a coffee and a shot of espresso. It was hard enough getting out the door when I was single, and now with two kids (and two school…
Read MoreMajor Multi-Tasking on the Daily
Wow, there’s a lot we have to accomplish on a day to day basis – and that’s the understatement of the year. The positive side is it’s wonderful to add value to your work, home, family and community. On the flip side: how on earth can we get all of this done? Anecdotally, I have two full…

Read MoreTravel Light, Summer Style
I love a good packing challenge. For our most recent trip, I was able to fit all of our belongings for ONE WEEK in ONE carry-on – for a family of four! (That’s two adults, two kids, and 1-2 pairs of shoes apiece plus snacks). Disclaimer: we’ll take a backpack for things we might need en-route, too. I…
Read MoreTurmeric Root: Antioxidants To The Rescue
Turmeric is quite literally a golden ingredient. We see it every day – in our food (shown above in a Turmeric latte), supplements and even in skincare. I myself have a container of Turmeric powder that I use every few days (I would take a picture for you, but let’s just say Marie Kondo would not approve…
Read MoreSummer of Glow: Are Retinoids Safe on Vacation?
When you use Care Skincare, we say YES – with SPF! Once I applied Tireless Retinoid Night Serum by Care and saw the results, I knew I never wanted to give up the radiant skin tone or THE GLOW. And all this was possible without the crazy effects I’d seen before from my prescription retinol…
