Tweet You’ve probably heard me talk about my struggle with acne before. It started as a teenager with embarrassing acne that plagued my high school years – so much that I caked on foundation and powder to cover it up. It continued well into my 20s until I started taking birth control, which helped me [...]

Tweet This post brought to you by Ubooly. How many of you can relate to this? You upgrade a smartphone and then give your kids your old smartphone. Sure, there are a few apps for kids on the phone, but otherwise it just serves as another electronic device. I’ve been there before – twice. I [...]
Tweet I’ve paid more visits to Jamba Juice than I care to admit. It just seemed easier to get a smoothie on the go. But after a while, I got tired of paying nearly $5 for smoothie I could just as easily make myself at home. Plus, I can use organic fruit and avoid sugar [...]

Tweet I have a confession: I’ve never had a house cleaner before. I’ve always wanted one but never hired one either for budget reasons or just playing a bit of the mom martyr who thinks she can do everything (but really can’t). As my husband’s back issues have gotten a bit worse, I decided to [...]
Tweet Honestly, I wish someone pulled me aside after I had my first son and explained to me that my libido was going to take a nosedive. Or that sex was going to be uncomfortable. Or that laughing too hard would make me pee my pants – literally. More importantly, I wish someone told me [...]

Interestingly, May was chosen as the month for this commemoration to mark the immigration of the first Japanese to the US on May 7, 1843 and to mark the completion [...]
Tweet This post is brought to you by The DivaCup. I consider myself pretty open minded when it comes to going green. Save a recycled bottle from the trash? No problem. Make my own kombucha? A little weird, but it turned out great. Make my own laundry detergent? Piece of cake. But go green with [...]
Tweet This post is brought to you by 10-Minute Trainer. I’ve never been much of a workout person. I always preferred to play sports or surf (especially when I was younger) to get exercise. But now that we live in Southern California, the surf is only warm enough for this Hawaii-bred woman during the summer. [...]
