Amazon Prime has been life changing. The day we decided to try it several years ago on a whim was one of the most transformative days ever! I’m not quite certain how we did life before Amazon. I buy just about anything and everything from there, including a lot of beauty and makeup supplies. With free two-day shipping, sometimes I can make out better than I would ordering on other sites like Sephora or Ulta. As I’ve hunted for certain items on there, I’ve come across some great finds that are truly undiscovered gems. In my hunt for different eyeshadow palettes, I tried several rounds and thoug ..read more

A Guest Post by Yvonne Pierre Shortly after giving birth to Zyon, he was taken to the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) because he couldn’t digest or hold any fluids down.  My husband and I had to wait before we could go see him.  Every minute felt like an hour.  Once we received the call, we immediately went to see him.  As we stepped off of the elevators, there was a team of doctors near the entrance.  I could see one of the doctor’s mouth motions, “Here they come.”  My heart dropped.   Wait.  Let me back up for a second.  At 5 months pregnant, I ..read more

Contouring is all the rage these days. It is one of those trends that can completely transform the look of your face shape. But, are you afraid to hop on board the contour train? If you are new to the game, it can seem a bit overwhelming at first. I recall the time when I first attempted contouring on my own by downloading a random diagram off of Pinterest. I mapped out the contour lines all over my face just as the diagram instructed. But, it kind of ended in disaster and my version came much closer to resembling a Pennywise knockoff than the picture represented in the diagram, lol! Have you ..read more

When my husband first started watching The Walking Dead several years ago, I was a bit skeptical and not all that impressed about a far-fetched show concept involving zombies. But as the series played in the background from time to time, I couldn’t help but get lured in by the plot lines and action. Before I knew it, I was just as hooked on the show as my husband and it became a Sunday night staple for us. That’s why when we had the opportunity to visit some of the filming locations in Central Georgia, it was a dream come true. Senoia, GA The first place we hit up on our tour was the main ..read more

Language and speech delays are one of the first signs that alert a parent to a developmental delay such as autism or apraxia. This was certainly the case with our son. Around two years old, I started to notice that our son was not talking as much as his peers. Most of the kids his age were speaking in complete sentences, while he only spoke a simple word or sound here and there. I shared my concerns many times with the pediatrician, who gave us extremely bad advice. Since our son was hitting speech milestones, the pediatrician never screened for language delays. I also knew nothing at the time ..read more
