Easy and Affordable Halloween Party Idea and Decor
This is a sponsored conversation with Dollar General, but all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. My kids are so excited for Halloween to come in a few short weeks. We've been decorating the house, talking about costume ideas and gathering up everything we need for a fun Halloween party for the kids with a few friends. This year I decided to put together a little Halloween scavenger hunt and some craft activities for them all from my local Dollar General. I love doing fun holiday parties and get togethers for the girls, but doing them all the time can get expensive. So I love finding affordable ways to keep these party traditions going.

Enjoying Summer Days At Home with Dollar General
It's finally starting to feel like Summer and I am here for it. After all the craziness of Spring, we're ready to get outside, enjoy the sun and spend some time together. We love going to the pool, but we enjoy setting up a water day at home, listening to music and grilling out. It's our favorite way to spend our Summer days. I went to Dollar General recently to grab some new water day toys for the girls. You may remember I got this pineapple water sprinkler there last year.

You can't have a summer ... read more

The Benefits Of A Jade Roller And Why You Should Use One
Since spending more time at home, I have been feeling the need to have a little time to myself. One way I have been doing this is upping my skincare game. Well really just focusing on actually doing it every night. It's the time I can shut myself into the bathroom and go through my routine in the peace and quiet. It only takes a few minutes, but it's just so relaxing. I actually got my jade roller for Christmas, but hadn't really used used it much...Until now anyway.

Why You Should Be Using A Microfiber Cloth With Your Skincare Routine
I've been using microfiber cloths with my skincare routine for a few years now. I know they have been around for quite a while now, and I actually started out using them for cleaning. However, now we're seeing it more and more for skincare. So why should you be using a microfiber cloth with your skincare routine?

They can also be used to remove makeup and to exfoliate the skin, leaving it smooth, soft and glowing. If you haven't used microfiber cloth to wash your face before, here are a few ... read more
