I was never the best at ironing clothes, and after ruining a few nice blouses, I avoided it. I couldn't believe it took me as long as it did to purchase a hand-held garment steamer. I rarely throw my nice outfits in the dryer, so my clothes are usually pretty wrinkly. Thankfully, my PurSteam…

I’m lovin’ my Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer.

I have stomach issues and I'm stubborn. I refuse to completely switch my diet to things that won't hurt my tummy. So when I cheat and eat something I shouldn't, I drink kombucha. These drinks are strong. By strong, I mean a heavy flavor of ginger. Kombucha is a fermented tea that’s naturally…

I am not a beer drinker, but on a recent trip to Omaha, Nebraska, for an Eric Church concert, we decided to hang out at The Dubliner Pub. The bar itself had a fun, hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. My husband, a beer connoisseur, wanted the bartender to surprise him. He brought back a bottle of W…

I love draught, except this time, I am not talking about beer. I am talking about kombucha. Mokaska Coffee in Downtown St. Joe offers the beverage on tap. They offer a brand made in Kansas City called Lucky Elixir Kombucha. They even have a chai kombucha this time of year. I wonder how hard …

As we head into the cold, dry months, I plan to be using my Yu-Be moisturizing skin cream even more. The cream hails from Japan and was created by pharmacist Yoshikiyo Nowatari in 1957. Enriched with vitamin E, vitamin B2 and camphor, the glycerin cream is highly concentrated, so a little go…

Take care of yourself

Several years ago, a friend texted me to ask me to try out a yoga class with her. I kind of rolled my eyes (I was out walking the track at the time), but something made me say yes. That was a life-changing moment for me.

I have been on a nitro cold brew coffee kick lately! With the temperatures outside scorching, a hot coffee doesn't sound too pleasant. Unfortunately, I don't like iced coffee too much, but need some caffeine every now and then. Luckily, I discovered nitro coffee.

Get your best hair

I'm currently addicted to word-search puzzles. They are a great way to unwind at the end of the day. They allow my brain to shut down all the noise of the day and focus only on letters. When I finish my puzzle, it's easier to fall asleep.

I recently received a sample of Bye Bye Under Eye Full Coverage Anti-Aging Waterproof Concealer by IT Cosmetics in a beauty products subscription service. Like most women, I want to reduce any signs of aging or skin imperfections, but I honestly had never found anything which truly did the j…

March is one of my favorite months, not just because my daughter was born on the 2nd, or that it's a holiday for my family (lots of Irish here) on the 17th, but there is something special about the feel of spring. I love to take walks in my hometown of Hiawatha, Kansas, down around the squar…
