The Adventures of a 40-something-year-old With No Clue Or Direction
There are times when I tell people, "You should do this," "You need this in your life," "I did this and my life totally changed." Am I judging? No. Hell, I'm total Hot Mess Express over here. Don't forget that. I don't say things because I think I'm better than a person or I've got... Continue Reading →
Last year right about this time, I was broken. I lost who I thought I was. I lost my muchness. I allowed others to dull my shine because I was looking for validation.

It’s been 8 years since this beautiful little human came into my life. I feel like she was just born 2 seconds ago! I still haven't forgotten the miserable labor pains! This past year Aria really stretched out in more ways than just physically. She decided to try her hand at sports and she's killin'... Continue Reading →
You guys! With the economy being what it is, like most of people, I need all the help I can get! I've got to find ways to stretch a buck as much as possible. One sort of necessary indulgence is my makeup. I grew up wearing the common brands like Cover Girl, Maybelline, and Wet... Continue Reading →
