Throughout my life, the number one thing people have always complimented me on has been my eyes. Like most people, I always welcome a nice compliment and cannot help but smile about this. As implied in my blog title, I’m a simple kind of girl, and I’m definitely not a “glam girl.” However, as a woman, I believe it is important that we do what we need to do feel good about ourselves and feel confident and comfortable in our own skin. I, for one, feel dramatically happier and more positive about myself when I’ve taken 10 minutes to get dressed and do makeup versus spending the day in my pajamas. And it is amazing how this extra bit of effort improves my confidence and my overall attitude as I go through my day. And as I go through my day with a positive attitude, I am able to affect others in a positive way.

Achieving that bright and youthful appearance isn’t always that simple. In fact, for many, it is a daily struggle, but it doesn’t have to be. Today I’m going to share 10 tips for a bright and youthful eye appearance. [Read more…]

Sick Just Got Real and a $25 Visa Giveaway

May 3, 2016 19 Comments

If you’re a parent you know what it is like to have a sick child. When they babies, it is especially a terrible experience because they can’t tell you what is wrong, and that makes it all the more scary for you. Even as they get to be school age and can tell you what’s wrong with complaints like “my tummy aches,” the feeling of helplessness never truly goes away. Even when it’s just strep throat or a simple virus that’s been going around, you’d give just about anything to make them feel better, and yet all you can really do is provide them with the prescribed medicine (and a little bit of TLC).

I recently watched this video from the Sick Just Got Real^TM campaign. It’s called, “A Mom Can Dream.” And it goes inside a ladies head, as she dreams of all the things she’d rather be doing, from drinking a glass of wine to having just a moment alone in the bathroom, until she is reminded of the most important thing of all, having children who are well.

When Daylight Savings Time begins, everyone seems to go in to a frenzy over that hour of lost sleep. But what about every other night of the year?
