HOLIDAY BREAKFAST

This year we have tried some very, very delicious organic vegan foods as well as an Icelandic yogurt that is absolutely dreamy. One of the foodie trends that is gaining momentum and hitting the mainstream is plant-based foods. For…

There is never a bad time to give gifts especially when those gifts give back with every purchase. Here are seven products from boots to baby and kids’ brands and more that have an added component of social good. These companies give back to nonprofits that help kids and even honeybees.

Every so often I like to feature products for good and brands that give back. It is important for me to not only use such products but share their work with others. These products with a purpose are all about vegan skincare. I use them daily.…

With all that is going on in the world, helping women through our everyday consumer actions is a way we can make a difference in their lives. While we can’t all take to the streets in protest or write impassioned letters to our senators or even donate to a cause every month, we can divert the money we spend to companies that support the causes we…

One thing we absolutely love for our home is canvas prints. They add wonderful pizzazz to our decor from our living spaces to our children’s rooms. They are also amazing for entryways and the kitchen. Plus, canvases can be so customizable from family photos to words of encouragement. We love them. …

Have you ever met someone who doesn’t like a great deal? Well, neither have we. In fact, if most parents are like us, they look high and low for deals on everything from their…

Over the past year and a half, I have to admit that getting an adequate, peaceful night’s sleep has been difficult. Between worrying about COVID-19, bills, our kids’ schooling, our health, my elderly family members, and just thinking about the unrest during this time, calling it…

If you are like most parents, you have been dealing with so much during this pandemic there is so little bandwidth to learn new things. But as moms, we must trudge along in order to provide the safest online and mobile experience for our children as we can.

Earlier this year my husband and I helped my father-in-law clean out one of his unused bedrooms. No one had used it for several years and instead it served as pseudo storage for him. We found so much stuff in that room: decades-old NBA ticket…

I am trying to do my part to live a greener life. I am in no way an expert in living a more sustainable lifestyle, but I am doing little things that make a difference. I am already a stickler when it comes to recycling. My family and I no longer buy water in plastic bottles. Instead we filter our tap water and…

I have traveled quite extensively and every time I visit a new country I always look to find local, natural medicines and remedies that I might need to use while abroad or can bring home to my family. In Nepal, for instance, I had all manner of incense available to buy and bring home. In India, I visited Ayurvedic stores in New Delhi looking for anything to…

In 1989 when I was a teenager, a category 4 hurricane barreled through the Caribbean and then north up the east coast of the United States. The hurricane was named Hugo. I remember…

Lip balms: There’s a ton of them. There’s the most popular Chapstick which you can find in grocery stores far and wide and around the world. There’s also Burt’s Bee’s, a “healthier” alternative to lipsticks, lip glosses, and lips balms that you can also find in nearly every store you enter. And then there are these three lip balm companies that I’m reviewing today; Eco Lips, Earth Mama Organics, and Mangiacotti.

Each lip balm produced a different reaction from me and there’s a clear…

I don’t wear glasses, but I do have a touchscreen laptop that gets dirty often. If you use your computer as much as I do you really need to keep your screen and keyboard as clean as possible, especially when you take your laptop out in public. It is embarrassing to have a dirty screen and keyboard when you're casually working…

There are really amazing appliances on the market and they are getting better every year. The level of technology is making appliances more efficient, energy-saving, and effective. If you need a new dishwasher or simply want to upgrade, you should definitely look at Bosch the next time you're appliance…
