Split End Rescue

*This post is sponsored by Global Influence. All opinions are my own. For most of my life I kept fairly short hair. I would occasionally have issues with breakage and split ends, but I would just cut my hair shorter to solve the problem. I didn't mind having my hair really short back then so it wasn't really a problem for me. A few years ago, I decided to try to grow my hair out. My goal was to grow it out longer than it had ever been before. So I've been a bit worried about what this winter will Read more [...]

Apparel N Bags Affordable Clothing Basics Review

*I was provided with products from ApparelnBags.com.  All opinions are my own. My boyfriend & I both work from home. As a result, a lot of days we don't leave our house at all.

Crocheted Cabbage Patch Hat Wig From CrochetedbyCatherine Review

*I was provided with a cabbage patch hat wig in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.

When we found out that my sister Erica (who also was late to get hair) was expecting a baby girl we started wondering if she would Read more [...]

NJOY Rechargeable and disposable e-cigarettes

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of NJOY for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine. It was just a few years ago when I first heard about e-cigarettes, and now they seem to be everywhere. A few years back, the state of Michigan (which is where I live) banned smoking in public places - even in bars. I think that really caused the popularity of e-cigarettes to increase here because they can still be used in establishments where traditional cigarettes are banned. If you aren't familiar Read more [...]

Ripley’s Believe It Or Not Reality Shock Book Review

*I was provided with a copy of Reality Shock. All opinions are my own. Reading came easily to me as a child, and I loved to read. I think that a big reason why school was easy & fun for me was because I was a good reader. I know many children who struggle to get started reading early on, and begin to associate reading as a hard and negative experience. This leads them to avoid reading for fun, so they fall behind their peers. I think it's really important to notice when kids are reluctant Read more [...]
