When you’re a working woman and especially a working mom, you appreciate any business that endeavors to make your life easier. I’m a beauty junkie. No surprise there. I love trying products and services. Sometimes, its just impossible to get an appointment after hours or on weekends. I don’t necessarily work a traditional 9-5 …
Brace Face
People ask me almost every day “Why did you get braces?” “Your teeth were straight, you didn’t even need braces!” My personal fave, “I’ve never noticed that your teeth were bad before.” So, I thought I’d share my story and explain why I started this journey. I’ve always had a nice smile, a pretty …
Younique
Up next on my tour of MLM beauty companies is Younique. I’d definitely heard of Younique before but never really investigated it. On a leisurely Facebook scroll, I saw that my friend Michelle Tyner had started selling it. She was posting pictures of her gorgeous self (I mean, she IS a real life model) wearing …
LipSense
I began my MLM beauty trials with LipSense. LipSense is a relatively new company to me. I only started seeing posts about it in the last year. I have about 100 lipsticks, so I didn’t take much notice in the beginning. Then, I saw that my friend, Rachel Holz, had joined them, and she’s really …
Beauty Trial & Error
By now, we all have a friend or two (maybe even 100) that are selling products through a direct sales company, network sales, or multi-level marketing (MLM) company. It’s commonly referred to as a side hustle. It can be a hobby, a career, or a means to break free from your 9-5. Whatever it is, …
Mint Standard Clothing
The occasions are rare that I am jealous of my 2 year old. This Summer, several of my sundresses that I wore all last summer, suddenly had become too short. They could’ve shrunk in the dryer, I may have gained a few units, I mean pounds…*wink wink. All I know is that when I tried …
Weekly Rituals
The everyday chaos and busyness of motherhood can interfere with taking care of ourselves. I don’t always have time or money to go out and get services at a spa, a girl can dream, though. I do a few simple things at home that make me feel pampered and have practical benefit as well. A …
The Big Chop
Sorry to be such a tease! I was fortunate enough to be model for Jeremy Davies-Barbala on Sunday. He is a rockstar haircutting educator from Norway. My awesome boss and salon owner, Rodger, brought him in to teach a cutting class at 8 the Salon. When you get an opportunity to have your hair cut …
Hair today, gone tomorrow…
Hair is the only accessory we wear everyday. It’s referred to as our crowning glory. It’s often the first thing someone notices about us. So what happens when our hair turns on us? So many women deal with hormonal hair loss, postpartum hair loss, illness, and general female pattern baldness. Having been in the hair …
Happens to the best of us…
Those who really know me and my family, know that I have bald children. I don’t mean bald until 6 months, I mean bald until 3! My son took forever to get any hair. It was so blond and fine. He is 4.5 and finally has a decent head of hair. My daughter has the …
