She Inspires | Amanda Rodriquez, Creator of DudeMom.com

I had the recent privilege of joining an amazing group of bloggers (seriously, I've stalked followed their sites for years) in L.A. for a fun event. I met Amanda Rodriquez, creator of DudeMom.com, after becoming a fan a few years ago. She was kind and funny and I was envious of her shoe game the whole trip. I had to feature her on the site because I need you to get to know her too if you don't … [Continue reading...]

Four Tips On Making Meaningful Friendships As An Adult

I've been blogging and running my own business for so long but haven't reached out to women in my city yet. It was a problem because while the internet has made it so easy for you to connect to anybody, anywhere, proximity counts. I didn't have that community of women in my own backyard that I could call upon for immediate support, instead having to always rely on "virtual hugs" and supportive … [Continue reading...]

[Beauty Bits] Homemade Brown Sugar Body Scrub Recipe

This winter has been brutal on my skin. I've been slathering creams and butters on my skin like there's no tomorrow.

[A New Me] What Do I Want My Life To Look Like?

  2015 marks the end of my twenties and man, what a decade. I fell in love, got two degrees, birthed two beautiful children, released a book, became self-employed, and bought a house. What a journey. But I'm noticing a trend in my life over the past ten years. For so long, it always felt like life was happening to me. I was always reacting to things, or recovering from things, but I … [Continue reading...]
