This post is sponsored by Thingealogy. If you've ever had a loved one move from their home into a nursing facility, or pass, then you probably know how difficult it can be to process through their belongings. For example, my half-siblings mother had multiple things that she enjoyed collecting. After she passed, her kids were left to decide which pieces of the collection to keep vs donate or sell. The items weren't particularly meaningful to any of the kids as they didn't share the interest. Still, Read more [...]

Thank you to Kodak for sending me product in exchange for my honest opinion in this review. I am a photo-aholic. I have been since I got my first camera sometime in grade school. There is something about photographs... they can bring back forgotten memories and they can instantly bring a smile (or a tear). I love looking at pictures from years ago. I especially enjoy looking at pictures of my daughter when she was first born. I was in a hormonal, sleep deprived, post c-section pain medicated Read more [...]

This is a sponsored post. If you are into growing plants then for sure you must have tried outdoor gardening in your garden space. But, have you any time thought about greenhouses for growing plants? Most of the time the answer is a no because either we don’t have enough time to invest on it or else, we are not serious about gardening. In both the scenarios, you are missing an amazing opportunity to grow plants the best way. The plants grown in greenhouses are free from pests, insects as Read more [...]

As the back to school prep begins, there seems to be so much to do.  But once all the school supplies, bags, and clothes are purchased, don't forget about making sure you have an appropriate homework space ready to go too.  Getting a desk and supplies at home so children have a space to do their homework each night is a great way to start school off on the right foot.  Setting up a routine and schedule with clear guidelines of what time work should be completed by is also handy.  So as you finish Read more [...]

I have shared with you my past and present in the art of Henna, and now I would like to share with you my beginning road of Jagua. First of all what is Jagua? Jagua is a trade name for the skin dying gel made from a rainforest fruit by the name of Genipa Americana. Thousands of years, South American natives have used the indigo/black dye obtained from the unripe Genipa fruit to adorn their beautiful skin and ward off stinging insects. There are some pretty dreaded stories about "Black Read more [...]

I remember the first time I ever found out henna existed, I was in Florida with my parents and grandmother on vacation, my dad went into a tattoo parlor and received a Chinese style symbol on his arm in Henna. I was already 14 at this point and obviously very interested in tattoos and the like. To find out there was an alternative to a tattoo that included no pain was pretty interesting. I stumbled upon Henna over and over again as a young (and broke) adolescent at each and every event and fair Read more [...]

I received product to facilitate this post.  All opinions are my own. They say that being a teacher is one of the hardest jobs.  A job where they spend their own paycheck improving the classroom, purchasing treats, and picking up supplies for children's families who couldn't afford them.  It can be a thankless job too.  Classrooms full of 25+ students all pulling in different directions, having different needs, yet all needing to be adequately taught the material.  Talk about stressful.  While Read more [...]
