Over the last couple years I've become obsessed with buying just about everything from stores like Lidl and Aldi. I'm such a regular now that I've become familiar with items and when they may show back up in the stores. I headed to Lidl last week looking for a shelf that I had seen about... Continue Reading →
Old blush. Hello new eyeshadow!
We've all been there. Buying products that end up in the cosmetics graveyard. I've gotten better about impulse buying, but I still have some items I'm trying to figure out how to give them a second life instead of totally wasting my money. I've never been much of a blush wearer, but a few years... Continue Reading →
It’s (almost) my birthday and I deserve new shoes
I'm officially in the age range I thought was old when I was young...but at least I've got good genes! My dear sweet dad was 78 when he left this world, but I swear he looked no older than 60. My mama is in her 70's and not one wrinkle in sight, so I'm thankful... Continue Reading →
Bye bye rough feet!
Y’all. Since forever I’ve blamed my callused feet on wearing heels. Since I’ve been barefoot for nearly 2 years, I’ve learned that’s a lie. I just have rough feet I guess! I get monthly pedicures and even pay extra for callus removal, but nothing ever quite gets them 100% smooth which is annoying! Plus hubby’s... Continue Reading →
North Carolina’s Crystal Coast: You must see it!
To say that I love the beach is an understatement. If I had a gazillion dollars, I'm quite sure I'd buy one of those gigantic beachfront mansions to call home. Since I'm not a gazillionaire, I have to settle for getting to the beach as often as we can. Last weekend, we took our first... Continue Reading →
Fun times in Hilton Head
Since we're limiting travel to drivable trips only, Hilton Head has become a fave beach destination. It's only about a 3.5 hr drive from Charlotte, the beaches are clean and beautiful, and we've been so much that we've gotten to know the island pretty well. The only drawback is the food. We haven't found any... Continue Reading →
An afternoon at Veronét Vineyards
To know me is to know that I love wine! I'm no expert, but I at least know what tastes good. I typically go for sweet and bubbly. A new vineyard opened in 2019 and I have been wanting to go check it out. Hubby and I finally got to go on Saturday. Veronét Vineyards... Continue Reading →
Black women, natural hair, and job interviews
Whoa, I just realized that I haven't posted anything new since December. Clue #1 that things have been a little busy in my world. My time in my current role may be coming to an end, hence I've been interviewing a lot, and why I decided to write this blog! Of all the things there... Continue Reading →
Steam your way to great skin
All I know is, after being stuck in the house for nearly two years has done something to my skin. In all of my adult life, I've never had so many breakouts, rashes, dry skin...you name it! And as a skincare junkie, I've tried everything and I'm extremely frustrated at this point. But, alas, and... Continue Reading →
Ground chicken chili recipe
It's been delayed, but looks like fall has finally arrived in Charlotte! Which means, it's soup season. I guess chili isn't technically soup, but it's soup-like, so it fits the bill. Last week while at Aldi wandering around the aisles, I picked up a chili seasoning packet and all the ingredients needed to make chili.... Continue Reading →
