Beauty | The Skin Forum Botanical Face Masks + 3D Contour Lifter & Shaper


* Products were sent for review.

Good morning, babes! I hope you all had an amazing holiday. Mine was pretty awesome and I loved having some time off with the little guys and my fiance without having to worry about deadlines. But, guys. It's so nice to be back to bloggin'!

Hey, anyone a Korean beauty fan? ✋ This chick is. I am obsessed with Korean beauty products (especially their skincare) and am so excited for today's post where I dive into a little bit of it. Today, I'll be talking about The Skin Forum, a site best known for their 6-Step Facial in Box where you can subscribe to a curated box of masks, serums and more sent directly to your door every month with everything you'll ever need for an at-home facial! Sign a chick up, am I right?

Today, I'll be checking out their Botanical Fuse Sheet Mask line as well as their slightly suggestive-looking 3D Contour Lifter and Body Shaper.

Beauty | Red and Gold


Some red, gold and olive green action for y'all since we are t-minus six days until Christmas! I can't believe it. I'm SO excited for this year because both of my boys are super into Santa. Hunter is obsessed with him and constantly talks about "Ho Ho". B likes him...just from afar. 😀

Five Ways To Rock Your Period Week W/ Pamprin


This post has been sponsored by the PRIMP Network. All opinions are my own.

Would you believe that up until a few months ago, I went three years without having a period (thanks breastfeeding!) and y'all, it was glorious. Of course all good things must come to end and I'm not sure if it's because my body created a backlog or something but holy cow, my period has come back with vengeance.

Gift Guide | For The Little Guys


Guys, I have to confess something. Call it genius, call it whatever you want - I can't decide which but I feel pretty proud of myself. Earlier this year, I downloaded this app where you can FaceTime Santa. Hunter (my three year) has been obsessed with it; FaceTiming him at least once a week, telling him exactly what he wants for Christmas. This has been going on for months! I've gone through the videos (the app has a handy tool where you can re-watch all of them), wrote down everything he wants. Genius?! Gimme a high five!

My youngest, Brody, is one and is pretty chill with just playing with whatever Hunter lets him play with ('because like, God forbid they share) but is super into cars, stuffed animals and action figures.


Today, I've come up with a little gift guide that covers everything from building blocks, to cars, to Power Wheels and more for the little guys or girls in your life.

Little Babes | Snow Days with National Geographic Kids "Hey, Baby!"


I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own.

Happy snow day, everyone! We're supposed to be getting 4-8" here in Connecticut and this mama is so excited. I love the snow! As long as I don't have to drive in. Or go out in it. At all.  Even to get the mail. I mean, that's what husbands are for, right? To bring the kids out in the snow while mama enjoys a nice coffee, peeking out the window to make sure her husband hasn't added a motor to the sled? Just me?

All kidding aside, you can only play outside in the snow for so long before everyone is wet and over it. We love to head inside, warm up with some hot chocolate and read some books. Now I know this sounds a little nuts - I mean, kids sitting still!? That's unheard of! - but our boys actually really love books. It's one of the rare things they actually sit down and hang out for.

We were recently sent a few books from Nat Geo and the boys fell in love with their Hey, Baby!: A Collection of Pictures, Poems, and Stories from Nature's Nursery.

Happy Monday, everyone. Gosh, it feels good to be home. We flew out to Las Vegas last week for my fiance's work. We had such a great time but it was my first time ever away from the boys. I kind of struggled with it. I would start crying while FaceTiming them and every single thing I saw, I'd be like, "Oh wow, the boys would love the fountains at the Bellagio!" "Oooh, the kids would think the M&M store was so cool." I don't think we'll ever go out with the boys again!

Anywho, we're back and reunited (and it feels so good!) and we're officially in the Christmas spirit here. We've got our tree up, decorations are up (and being ripped apart by the boys) and we're  continuing our tradition of Christmas jammies and have thosepicked those out! Yeah, I'm totally that mom. I figure in a few years, I won't have much say in what they wear so I may as well cash it all in when they can't. I kid. Kind of.


I've put together the cutest comfiest jammies for boys that won't break the bank. I'm all for cute pajamas but there's no freakin' way this mama is spending $30 on a pair of pj's that they'll wear maybe a few times. Pshhhhh, not happening. I also added in our favorite Christmas books to read (we're big readers over here!) and some super cute slippers to keep their little toes warm!

the latest on the 'gram.
