I'm a big believer in the adage "When you look good, you feel good" and I know it took me a lot of years to figure out what worked (and what didn't) when it comes to beauty tips. There are a few gems that I've figured out over the years, so I thought I would share my best beauty tips for looking your best, especially when it comes to aging, and especially if you don't have time for a lot of fussy beauty tips!

We ladies go through a lot. Not only our ridiculous, and sometimes painful, grooming routines, but also a once-a-month visit from "Aunt Flo." Some women have relatively easy menstrual periods and some have it much harder. Everyone's different, but no matter what you deal with every month, I have a great list of my most helpful period essentials that might just help make your 'time of the month' easier, too.

I've just recently been introduced to the tradition of BOO'ing, although it's been a thing for over 20 years! Think of it like a Secret Santa for Halloween. It's a fun way to treat family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, the local fire station, or anyone else you want to show appreciation to. Just (anonymously) leave a big bowl of treats with a note that they've been BOO'ed!

This year I want to BOO my husband's awesome co-workers, so naturally, I got crafty. :) Learn how to make this cool and creepy witches' treat bowl for your Halloween BOO'ing or even for a party tablescape centerpiece.

With cooler weather here and Fall on the horizon, I couldn't wait to make something warm and comforting with some of my favorite Fall flavors. This marinated garlic & herb pork loin is butterflied and rolled with herbed stuffing and glazed with a sweet and tart cranberry sauce. Sound complicated? It took me less than 30 minutes to prepare and it cooked in the slow cooker while I did other things. :) Back to school is back to busy time for me, so you know this recipe is going to be easy to make and taste amazing!

Getting the kids out of the door on time and with everything that they need can be a struggle sometimes. Kids tend to lose focus during their morning routine, shoes get lost, lunches forgotten, and somewhere in there should be a warm and filling breakfast. Moms and dads have a lot to deal with, so I came up with a list of 5 ways to streamline your morning, for both parents and kids, to get organized (including a printable 'My Morning Routine' worksheet) so that we can all fit in a hearty, warm breakfast.

I love a good, crunchy salad wrap for lunch, or even dinner, and this one is made even tastier with taco roasted chipotle sauce on freshly sautéed chicken. It can be a great make-ahead meal that is just assembled on a busy night and the leftovers are still amazing the next day for lunch. If you love salads, but wish they were easier to eat on the go, this is how to do it. :)

With my daughter back in school, I'm back to making sure she has everything she needs to have a successful day. We often think that means a good breakfast and all the necessary school supplies, but sometimes they need a little extra, like Wet Ones^® Hand Wipes for messy hands, sunscreen for the playground, tissues for runny noses, or lip balm for chapped lips, so I created this awesome school-ready backpack kit for older kids to make sure that they have everything they might need at hand and I'll show you just how to put it together.

If you're looking for some clever hacks to make going back to school a little bit easier this year, then this post is for you. Below you will see 15 of the smartest ways to make the most of your time and ease the frustration of the back to school season.
