It's time for Target dress #3 to make its debut! This is just a simple black dress with pockets at the front/sides. It comes with a piece of the same black fabric that you can wear as a belt, but I opted to wear my own belt with it. I love that it's so long, even on my tall frame. I got a size small, for reference, so I'd size down on this ...

In today's Motivation Monday, you'll meet Stephanie. A working mom to two (awesome) kids who has lost over 100 lbs. You read correctly, over 100 lbs!

Scrubbed Clean: Prepping Our Home for Sale
I don't know how much I'll manage to type in this post... but I'll try my best. Ladies, I am pooped with a capital "P!" H and I cleaned our home for the entire weekend, morning, noon and night.

Product Rave: Serge Normant Meta Revive Dry Shampoo with Cedar Bark
I hate that I am writing such a rave review about this product because it costs $25 a bottle...but it's $25 VERY well spent and I simply cannot contain my love for this product. "Another dry shampoo?" you ask. Yes ladies, unfortunately for us all, I think I have found the holy grail of dry shampoos. Now, before I get into this, I want to ...
Beauty Buys: Bumble and Bumble & Dior
I visited Sephora last week to pick up a new Bumble and Bumble product that I've seen in EVERY magazine lately. It's their "texture" product and it's supposed to be used on wet hair to create the highly coveted beachy, matte, "undone" hair. It got some rave reviews on makeupalley.com (I always check it before I buy) so I decided to ...
