I was blessed with five incredible younger sisters. Later on, I was fortunate to gain six additional  sister-in-laws, who I love and consider some of my closest allies. And on top of that, a network of female friends who motivate and root for each other. The loyalty that we have for one another is unparalleled, […]

It’s no secret that I’ve been obsessed with Shine Cosmetics for the past several years! Why do I choose them over other make-up brands?

I like to switch them up often (maybe a little too often…) because it’s a simple way to refresh a room and tie in new furniture/home decor. And when you shop at Boutique Rugs, it’s surprisingly affordable! Where most large […]
