Beauty Review: QVC's Christmas Advent Calendar

Just before Thanksgiving, two of my friends and I purchased the QVC Christmas Advent Calendar. Katy, Cindy, and I couldn’t until December 1st so we could start discovering some of QVC’s top selling beauty brands, like Josie Maran, IT Cosmetics, Mally, Kate Somerville, philosophy, and others.

It featured 24 hair, skin, or fragrance products from 21 different beauty brands. It contained sweet little surprises every day! Unbeknownst to the other, we each put on the […]

Dear Santa…

“Dear Santa… Christmas is less than two weeks away. Do I have time to be good enough to get a good present?” I may be 42 years old, but I still believe in the spirit of Santa.

Dealing with the Loss of a Pet

I am taking a brief hiatus the remainder of this week because my beloved dog, Dakota, passed away last week and my heart is still not fully recovered from the loss of my oldest fur baby. He was 16 years old. Death, no matter if it is human or animal, is hard. I cried when Dakota passed away, simply because he was not only a family pet, but he was my baby, my little man, my Koter-boat. He lost the love of his life, C.T., our German Shepherd, several years ago. And even though we adopted another dog to help […]
