First Impressions- Cruelty Free & Vegan Deodorant

I tried the Kiss My Face liquid rock sport deodorant today for the first time. It was very different from anything I’ve used before and also the first cruelty free deodorant I’ve been able to try! At a glance, the packaging is very similar to other deodorants. It’s white and blue and has people pictured exercising on it. I opened it to find it was a roller ball applicator. I wasn’t sure how I’d…

Life and Stuff

Right at this very moment, I’m exhausted. I’m sitting in the break room at work eating pretzels and peanut butter and working a morning shift after working a night shift. My baby is at daycare and I’m sad because I just want to be at home cuddling her. But I just gave a customer the advice of “see the good in everything”. And so that’s what I’m gonna do. The past few days have been tough for me.…

Delicious Organic Energy Drink

I’m always on the lookout for new food and drinks to try- along with everything else. My free Friday coupon from Kroger this week was for an organic energy drink made by Amp Energy. There were two to choose from and I chose the Tropical Burst one. I don’t usually drink energy drinks, but I decided to give it a go.

It says it’s orange, mango, and passion fruit. It reminds me a lot of pineapple…

Eggless Cookie Dough For One

My favorite thing to snack on is cookie dough. And when I’m an emotional mess… let’s just say that cookie dough is my mega crave.

Ingredients:

6 tbsp brown sugar

1/2 stick of butter or 3-4 tbsps margarine

Gods Promises When We Are Worried

So I realize that this is a few days late. And I’m sorry about that. It’s been a week. I’m worn out, I’m on the end of my rope with everything. But one thing has been keeping me going. This handout I got a church last Sunday. It was an extra insert in our programs that we receive and it’s really funny how God always seems to speak to me through the program inserts. This has been happening week…

Life Update 🦋

Sorry I’m just now posting this. I have been so busy lately I’ve been struggling to find time to do anything more than sleep at night. (And even that’s a challenge)! I thought I’d just give an update on my life and everything that’s been going on lately.

So, the biggest news is that I’ve finally got a new job! After what feels like forever, I’m working full time. Which is equally parts awesome…

Spell My Name-Fashion Musts To Have In Every Wardrobe

E is for evening attire. Everyone should have at least one evening outfit. Be it a little black dress or a pantsuit.

R is for ruching. Ruching is slimming and can accent your curves without being too tight and uncomfortable. It gives you some wiggle room. I is for intimates. You know how it feels to have a matching bra and panty set on under your outfit. No one knows, but you feel powerful. A set…

Wonderful Period Tracker & Endo App

I struggle with extremely irregular periods and horrible pain when it comes to my cycle. I can go for months without a period and then have one for a month and then skip a week. It’s bad. I recently decided that I needed to start taking better care of myself- physically, mentally, emotionally. One thing I decided to do was to start tracking my period. But I wanted more than just marks on a…

10 Things I Can’t Live Without

This list was actually hard for me to think of, because I have a hard time living above my means. I try to live a very minimalist lifestyle and so a lot of these probably seem very basic to you, but to me they’re my favorites! These are by no means in any order- obviously Char is my #1- so with that being said, here we go!!

1. My Phone

My phone is my lifeline. I never let it leave my sight and I…

A Relaxing Self Care Playlist

Something I feel that everyone should do is practice self care. I recently decided that was more important to me after years of telling myself that was selfish and that I always needed to put others first. Never me. Well, now I’ve learned that you can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of yourself. I like to unwind with a face mask or by painting my nails. I either listen to music or…
