I have two teenage daughters, who are 13 and 16, so I know a thing or two about gifts for teens/tweens! They own several of these items or are asking for some of them! But this gift guides isn’t limited to girls…I have something for everyone! So take a look and cross some kids, nephews, nieces, grandkids, godkids, etc. off the list! I’ve done four other gift guides so far this season, and you can find them here: HOSTESS,FOR HER, FOR HIM, and STOCKING STUFFERS. The links will be below the picture collage, and you’ll be good to go to click and purchase from there!  These are affiliate links ..read more

We’ve tackled three gift guides so far: the hostess guideHERE, the her guide HERE, and the him guide HERE! Today’s guide is all about the stocking stuffers! Some people only exchange stockings (Joshua and I do this instead of gifts), so I have a variety of items on here, but nothing more than $40! Lots of these items would make incredible teacher gifts (attach a gift card), and presents for anyone in general! The links will be below the picture collage, and you’ll be good to go to click and purchase from there!  These are affiliate links, which means I make a small commission on the purch ..read more

We’ve done the best hostess gifts HERE, the best gifts for her HERE, and now it’s time to get to the men! I’m talking hubbies, grandpas, brothers-in-law, sons, and more! Of course, any of these gifts would be perfect for anybody, but I’m trying to narrow down your shopping with some helpful categories! So buy the wrench set for your sister if she needs one, but also, check some dudes off your list if you see something that’s just right!!! The links will be below the picture collage, and you’ll be good to go to click and purchase from there!  These are affiliate links, which means I make a ..read more

I’m so glad y’all loved the hostess gift guide so much; you can find it HERE if you missed it! Now, it’s time for the LADIES to get their gifts on And please hear me say this, I realize all of these gifts are gender neutral! My friend, Brandon, loves his Peloton, and my dad loves the herb garden my mom get as a gift. But when I polled the ladies on my instastories, these were their responses (plus a few I’d already had on my excel list), so I grouped them in the ‘for her’ category. I guarantee there’s a perfect gift in here for your mother-in-law, sister, grandmother, daughter, and so on (or ..read more

I get asked about my skin quite often, and I don’t know if it helps or hurts me to say, “I treat my skin like crap, sleep in my makeup, get too much sun, only use my products when I remember to, etc.!” BUT, now that I’m in my 40s (41 to be exact), I’m realizing more and more that I should be better to my face. And I seem to be different from a lot of women in that I love my smile lines, crow’s feet, and even the wrinkles! I’ve never had any injections, chemical peels, prescriptions/medical grade skincare products, and so on. I think I’ve had three facials in my lifetime. I have nothing against ..read more

It’s that time of year!! Time to figure out what to buy the kids in your life between the ages of let’s say 10 and 18ish! Think nieces, nephews, grandkids, godchildren, your own kids, and every other kind you may have on your list! I know what you’re thinking…’they just want a new cell phone!’ And maybe that’s true, HA! But if that’s not an option, I have compiled a list of nearly 60 other items that should make them happy! Or at the very least, just include a gift receipt and let them return it for cash/money on their Amazon account. I’m kidding, mostly! Because I’m confident, with the help o ..read more

I’ve done the swimsuit post, and the cover-ups post; I’ve shared my favorite sangria recipe and the best salsa/dip in the world here! All are summer staples in our house, but there are a few random things that I’ve gathered along the way that are clutch during the summer months! And here in NC, these HOT months can span 6-8 months, so these items get A LOT of use! I have stuff you’ll wear on your body, and things to keep you, and your drinks, cold! A few things you may have seen before, and other stuff is brand new. I like to order and try things out before I show them to yall! Everything you ..read more

I absolutely LOVE doing my swimsuit try-ons for you! In year’s past, I’ve stuck to what I know best….BUDGET suits! Listen, I’m a budget girl…name brands don’t do much for me, and my bank account appreciates that But I always hear peeps saying, “but those expensive suits are made so much better,” “those expensive suits are cut differently and are more flattering,” “those expensive suits have better fabric, are lined, the cups are sewn in, they aren’t as see through” and the list goes on. And it’s not that I didn’t believe them, but keep in mind, I have to buy every suit I try on and that adds ..read more

All the cool kids were doing it, so I had to get in on the action! I ran my Amazon affiliate report for the entire 2021 year to see what were the most purchased items by my readers, followers, and peeps! I wasn’t shocked in the slightest by the top 25 items, but I was shocked at the sheer quantity of them purchased (can we say BATHING SUITS????)!!!! I say it all of the time, but I truly am so humbled and grateful every time someone makes a purchase through me, especially if it’s something I love and talk about often. You buying it tells me 1. that you trust my opinion, and 2. that you care eno ..read more
