My Makeup Routine with Three Little’s
dress | shoes | makeup As a mom, I tend to put myself last. Everything that I try to do for myself always falls to the back burner and I end up tapped out and raising my white flag. I rarely get out of yoga pants and a comfy vneck tshirt but when I do decide to leave the house, I am thankful for a quick makeup routine that helps me look a little less like a mombie. When Derrek and I actually had a date (these don’t happen enough and I want to make sure we do this more often) last weekend, I was able to dress up and…

My “Why”
A few years ago I began my journey into a more natural life, and one of the ways I started this was by changing my makeup routine. I threw away all of my drug store Maybelline, Cover Girl and even my beloved Clinique products. I did so visiting the Environmental Working Group website and flipping out over how toxic the ingredients were that I was applying to my skin daily! The Skin Deep database is a great online resource that lists the chemical ingredients of thousands of products, and highlights a few of the worst on the list. Be aware that even the Environmental Working Group cautions against jumping to conclusions about…

Organic Strawberry Lemonade Shortcake Treats Thanks to Foodstirs
I was given these items in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. Please check out my disclaimer page for more information.

Having to measure all the ingredients perfectly and really follow directions isn’t my thing and has resulted in numerous botched attempts at baking. Enter Foodstirs to…

The Outfit That Everyone Needs
Last week on my blog, I shared the outfit that you can find me wearing pretty much any day throughout the week. This week, I am sharing the outfit that everyone should invest in for summer. This outfit is SO cute, very comfortable and pairs well with other pieces of your wardrobe so you can wear them many different ways throughout the season. A pair of white skinny jeans should be at the top of every lady’s outfit list for Spring and Summer. There are SO many ways to dress them up or down, wear them with flats or heels, colors or neutrals. The possibilities are endless and finding the…

My Workout Routine
Living in the country has its perks and not living close to a gym isn’t one of them. I always say that if I could have a gym, coffee shop and a Target it would be perfect out here. Until all of that happens, I have to fend for myself in the exercise department. I’ve never really been a “weights” type of workout person. I love to go for a brisk walk, jog and do squats until my legs feel like jello. Most mornings when the kids and I wake up, we do go for a walk and feed the animals at the farm down the road. On the way home, I…
