My recipe for a favorite family recipes, Lemon Brownie Cheesecake. Yum! #SplendaHoliday ad #recipe #food #dessert #baking #holidays

I have a serious love affair with cheesecake and everyone who knows me knows it’s my favorite dessert. My cheesecake addiction is bad…I’ve been known to go to a particular cheesecake place and spend $70 on slices of cheesecake. I told you it’s bad. LOL!

After a while, I decided to start baking my own cheesecakes. I’m not a fan of graham cracker crust, so I’ve experimented with a few different…

I'm stocking up on my running essentials to stay healthy during the winter. #Healthyliving #Running #Runner #HealthySavings ad

As the temperature drops, most people start to slack off on exercising and running. Call me crazy but I still run during the fall and winter months. We actually don’t cancel runs until the temperature hits 30 degrees. So staying healthy during this time of the year is a must to keep up with our running schedule. I can’t afford to let a pesky cold or joint pain slow me down. I’m lucky that I run…

How To Get Beach Waves Using A Curling Wand

If you’ve followed the blog for a while, you know I have a serious love affair with hot curlers. I try not to use them often, but I have four sets of hot rollers and three sets of steam rollers. Don’t judge me! For awhile now, I’ve wanted to buy a wand curler set for those days that I just don’t have time to roll my hair and let it set. However, I had a hard time choosing a brand that I wanted to…

3 Tips For Creating the Perfect Gift Basket

I love this time of year because it’s my excuse to buy things for my daughters without feeling like a shopaholic. My daughters are very different in what they like as gifts. My youngest is super simple now that she is older, a gift card is all she wants. Yep, she takes all of the fun out of holiday shopping. hehe Now my oldest, that apple didn’t fall far from the tree, she loves anything beauty…

I live by the creed of being proactive instead of reactive. Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s better to plan ahead and think of all possible outcomes. This includes health issues that run in my family. Now, maintaining a healthy life is important to…

Sometimes you have to give into the urge and stop resisting. Recently, I did just that when it came to a few makeup products. You know how you kinda keep looking at something and saying no because you don’t need it for real? Then someone one decides to give you a gift card for one of your favorite stores and all self-control goes out of the window. Somehow, the one purchase using…

5 Tips On Running For Beginners

I started running back in 2010 because it was one of the least expensive forms of exercise and a great way to get in cardio. Running in the beginning was easier for me because I was 50 lbs lighter; however, my weight gain (from medication) didn’t deter me from continuing to run. I had a period where my doctor told me that I could no longer run because of Lupus. OK so, I’m a little hardheaded and…

I seriously feel like a deer in headlights right now. My ex-beau just told me he is heading this way from Florida and wants to take me out on a date. We haven’t been out since I moved to GA and broke off our relationship. Yep, when I break up I do it big! LOL! Anywho, he has the most beautiful…

Feeling Radiant With Aveeno POSITIVELY RADIANT Moisturizer & Makeup Removing Wipes Do they really improve tone, texture, and dullness? Read more... #beauty #skincare #moisturizer #makeup

My skin is so sensitive that it’s ridiculous. It’s hard for me to find skincare products that don’t cause a reaction. Over the last few years, I’ve only found a few that work well from sensitive skin and in a previous post, I discussed my favorite moisturizers for dry and/or sensitive skin. After that post, one of my readers asked me for a recommendation for a drugstore brand with SPF that would…

Birthday Recap: Grab A Bag Of G.H. Cretors Popcorn

I am so thankful that birthdays only come one time a year. My body couldn’t handle this happening more than once. I will admit. The 30something-year-old turn up is completely different than the 21-year-old turn-up. Lawd! I don’t think I could survive the 21-year-old turn up again. I’ll tell you all about that foolishness another day. Paramedics were involved.

Anywho, my birthdays these days are a…

Makeup Revolution Iconic 3 Eyeshadow Palette |Swatches & Review #bblogger #beautyblogger #MakeupRevolution

Have you ever seen something on YouTube and thought to yourself that the product can’t live up to the hype? I had that happen a little over a year ago when I happened upon a video using one of the Makeup Revolution Redemption eyeshadow palettes. I thought the colors were gorgeous, but I was a bit hesitant about ordering from the site after I realized it was only sold in the UK.

OMG! I’m kicking…
