Besides Christmas, Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.

I mean who doesn’t love watching Michael Myers…
So one of my best friends just recently got married in September. As her maid of honor, I really wanted to make this whole experience for her memorable and special. From the bridal shower to the bachelorette to the night before the wedding, I wanted her to feel special and know that all of her…
Every summer for the last few years, we’ve always had a clam bake either with friends and family or just the two of us. It’s a summer tradition. I love having this seafood fest during this time of year. Last year when we had the party, Christopher wanted to have the clam bake for his…

So in less than a month it will be my 31st birthday and I plan on throwing myself a themed birthday party which I will not share until after the party has occurred. But what I will do is talk about a birthday party I had 2 years ago for my 29th, an 80s party!…
So in a few days I’ll be attending my second Mary Kay demonstration, this time how to work with color. Â A few months ago I had gone to a demomstration from a local Mary Kay representative and got hooked. I’ve been using their Time-Wise collection to start the anti-aging process early. Â I’m 30 now, I…
