Marriage takes a lot of hard work, being with one person day-in, day-out is no easy task, regardless of how much you love them. (Ask any couple who have been together for longer than a couple of years, and they'll tell you the same thing.) That's why, celebrating your anniversary is so, so important. After a few years of being together, many couples stop marking their anniversary with any special plans and treat it as just another day. If you want a happy, healthy marriage, t ...

It has been about two weeks that I had taken off from lifting and any form of working out. I was feeling extremely under the weather; I don’t know if I had a cold or virus, or the weather changes here in New Jersey or just overall not getting enough sleep. I had a hard time having any kind of energy to workout and was feeling really weak and lethargic all the time. If I don’t workout in the morning, before work, I don’t usually have the time after work for a proper workout. You ...

A few months ago, after my June wedding, I was itching to try something new with my hair. I have always had dark, one color tresses and I wanted my wedding day look to be very glamorous and sultry. I kept my hair super long and very dark. After the “I do’s” I was eager to do something different with my hair so I cut off a good 5-6 inches for a long bob (aka “Lob”) hair style and asked my hair colorist to do some subtle ombre. I loved the new hair length and the color ...

One of the things I try to do really well during the entire year is to make mental notes of everything that my friends and family say in relation to “Oh I really could use/I would really love to get ___.” That to me is the only way I can really buy anyone something I know they will love. It’s important to me to get things that are either really needed or something they really want, otherwise it is one big crap shoot getting something random. I also real ...

There is nothing that is more of a life buzz kill than getting your period. Let’s face it ladies, it’s the one time of the month that I don’t want to even be around myself. I don’t know if it’s because I’m in my 30’s now but the last few years I have the worst PMS ever and all I want to do is go home, throw on the comfiest sweats I own, curl up on my couch and wait for it to all be over. For some reason every time of the month that it comes I feel extreme ...

I recently received a package from the fine folks at Beauty Addicts Cosmetics to test and try out some of the Hollywood Glam collection – perfect for the holiday season. I was not compensated for this review, just provided some pretty neat makeup products to test and try and then share with my readers. Their Holiday Glam kit starts at $58.00 and they sent me four products to review: a lip gloss, lip stick, mascara and quad eye shadow compact. Their products range in price and the colors are ...

They say that your hair is the crown you never take off, but for many women (myself included) sometimes we just don’t have the time to polish it to look it’s best everyday. It’s important to wash and condition our hair, but many of us don’t really know what we should do in order to achieve the best possible blow out at home. Most of the time we just decide to let our hair air dry, but blow drying doesn’t have to feel like a choir. I was out to uncover some top tips on ho ...
