Spring Break is on the way, spring sports are starting and the next thing you know you will be packing up your swimsuit, grabbing your sunglasses and heading to the beach. We are a bit more of pool people in my family, just because the kids activities are always consuming parts of the weekends so we don't have the time to head to the beach BUT no matter if you are a toes in the sand or a red solo ...

I want clothes that look nice, fit well and are ...

Friday Fresh Picks: Splurge vs. Save Foundations
The switch from summer to fall has me and my skin all sorts of confused. Over the past few weeks I have gone from maxi dresses, to my winter coat and just the other day I was running errands in a tee. My skin on the other hand is coming off a tanner than normal summer (thanks to kids activities) and also is drying up with the change of seasons.

My first color was a henna. Oh boy did I mess up my hair. It turned ...
