I’m incredibly late to this trend, but for the remainder of the days leading up to Christmas and for the wintry weeks ahead, I’m embracing the concept of hygge. Pronounced “hoo-ga,” this Danish cultural identity is best defined as a quality of coziness and calm that engenders a feeling of well-being and contentment. Sounds amazing,…

Refueling After Boot Camp (+ Sunwarrior Protein Powder Review)
This may come as a shock to you (after I professed my love to cardio barre), but I’ve been all about boot camp lately. By lately, I mean once a week the past 3 weeks, because with my mom guilt, I continue to allow myself one night a week to go to the gym after…
Ambronite Review (Alternatively: When You Forget To Eat)
Being a mom is challenging. Although our responsibilities and lifestyles vary, I’m sure that all mothers could agree on two things: we’re always busy and we’re always tired. Before Baby M, I had a good bit of leisure time. I worked 8-5, but I could spend my evenings (and mornings, if I chose) as I…
Trying Essential Oils

To be honest, I originally expected to be disappointed. I recently had a different brand’s lemonade-flavored…
Old Factory Candles Review
Having a newborn means I spend a lot of time inside the house. When you’re spending so much time indoors, though, the air can get a little stale. Thankfully, I have plenty of candles! Recently a representative from Old Factory Candles reached out to me about reviewing their product. I normally love autumn-scented candles this time of…
100% Pure Australian Tea Tree Oil Review
If you know me well, then you know I try to avoid chemical and pharmaceutical remedies and medications whenever possible. I prefer going the natural route, whether it’s by drinking apple cider vinegar and honey to ward off a sore throat or cold, rinsing my mouth with coconut oil, or cleaning my kitchen sink with lemon…
