As a vertically challenged person, it’s always been hard to find clothes that fit me well. I stand at just over 4’10”, which is considered on the extreme end of short, so I’ve always envied people who could walk...
Puberty... we’ve all been there, and guess what? Eventually, our kids will be there, too. (Gasp!) I know our babies are growing quickly, and while we want to hold on to them for as long as possible, the real...
It is not lost on me that this title is incredibly presumptuous, particularly considering that I am a 40-year-old woman with the same hairstyle I've had since ninth grade. I've never been up on beauty trends, and I don't...
Stuck in a style rut? Welcome to mom life (for most of us), where athleisure reigns supreme and maxi dresses are oft reserved for that once-in-a-blue-moon date night or moms' night out. The good news? It doesn't have to...

I don’t spend a lot of time (or money) on my makeup — honestly, maybe 5–10 minutes tops and that includes washing my face. I do work full-time, and when I was going into the office every day, I...
If you’re like me, you love to wear trendy styles without sacrificing your budget. People in the fashion industry would call this fast fashion. But have you ever considered who actually is making our clothes and what it costs...
I grew up in the days of Merle Norman pancake full-coverage base makeup. It wasn’t called foundation at that time, and I doubt anything other than full-coverage base makeup existed. The trend in the '80s was to wear your...
Over the last 18 months, I’ve developed what I’d describe as a “healthy obsession” with painting my nails (although my husband might argue the “healthy” part). At the start of the pandemic, we weren’t venturing out much, and the...
Do you remember the first time you thought your body wasn’t good enough? In 4th grade, I remember a boy calling me chubby. In 5th grade, I remember sitting out of a pool party with my friends (at my...
