I’m the first to admit that my feet aren’t my best feature. They’re always dry and cracked, not to mention achy. I’m always either looking for new products or concocting my own DIY recipes to make my feet look and feel better. This easy Banana Yogurt Foot Mask is [Read more…]
One of the most common questions I got when I decided to cloth diaper my son was, how do you wash them? The second was, where does the poop go? Yes, cloth diapering can get messy (literally) because you’re not just tossing the diaper in the trash or Diaper Genie. But, if you have all the right tools and a clear plan, then cloth diapering can be [Read more…]
It’s officially beach season in Florida and if you’re a regular, like me, then you already know to stock up on water, snacks, sunscreen, and toys. Lots of toys—especially if you’re going to be there a few hours!
I love beach days in the summertime! There’s nothing like the salty sea air and the hot sun that make me feel like [Read more…]
One of my new morning obsessions is a nice, cold, Iced Matcha Latte. A form of green tea that is essentially in the powdered form. Traditional green tea is made from components of the leaves, which are infused with hot water and then the leaves are discarded. Matcha, on the other hand, is made from the entire leaf, powdered, and then mixed with milk or water. I’ve never been a coffee drinker, but I love getting that caffeine fix from my morning Matcha Latte without the [Read more…]
Summer is officially in full swing at 90° and climbing, which means it’s hot, hot, hot!. And I love it! Living in Florida my whole life has forced me to truly embrace the summer heat. Beach weekends, pool days, and crowded theme parks are some of mine and my family’s favorite ways to spend the summer. All of these outdoor activities can really do a number on my skin and hair, which means I’ve got to be prepared. Check out my [Read more…]
I have been shaving my face for about a year and guess what…it’s amazing! Face shaving or dermaplaning has become a popular anti-aging trend for a lot of women and I’m definitely one of them. Some of you reading this may be thinking, what the heck, I’m a woman!! But let me tell you that this kind of face shaving is not the same as [Read more…]
This Chocolate Molten Mug Cake is one of my new favorite desserts! Its warm, chocolatey goodness is so yummy and fulfilling, and because it’s so simple to make—I want to [Read more…]
If you’re a raw cookie dough lover, like me, then you will love this Chocolate Chip Dessert Hummus!
I have no shame in admitting my love of raw cookie dough. I’ve been known to eat an entire sheet of Nestle Tollhouse cookie squares—never actually baking them, as intended. Being that summer is right around the corner and so is beach season I thought I’d table my cookie dough obsession for the season and try out something a little more guilt-free. [Read more…]

Since launching in 2014, they have raised over $2,500,000 for charities all over the world. A donation is built into the price of every product so when you purchase items from The Shop Forward you’re helping to pay it forward to various charities and causes while also [Read more…]
It’s that time of the year…time for another DIY handprint card! One of my favorite parts of the holidays is making handprint cards. This year, my son is finally at the age where he can make them almost completely by himself. My son’s favorite book series is Duck & Goose, we read at least one or two (out of 15 or so in the series) a night. So, when I asked if he wanted to make this Easter Chick Handprint Card for some family members, he was delighted. Below, you can find [Read more…]
