It sure feels good to unplug, doesn't it? Don't get me wrong: I love social media, texting with friends, researching and writing on my laptop, and watching TV. But powering down not only feels like a deep breath in my soul, I feel it's necessary for my mental health. Being a . . .
DIY: Coconut Lavender Whipped Cream
Body lotions, creams, butter: whatever title you want to use, they're far too expensive for my liking. How is something so simple (that you know is inexpensive to produce) so costly? (I feel the same way about toss cushions but that's a topic for another day.) I have . . .

Battle of the Bounce: testing lulu’s new sports bra
If you've had a baby, chances are your body's changed. Mine has. All of my stuff is in different places. There's extra padding in some spots and stretch marks in others. Most days I feel like I'm going to pee myself, and some days I actually do. It's par for the course . . .
