DIY All Natural Body Butter Salve for Dry Winter Skin

DIY All Natural Body Butter Salve for Dry Winter Skin

  If you’ve reached this post then you know that most beauty products on the market aren’t good for the biggest and one of the most important organ; the skin. It’s the first thing that people notice about you. I’m not gonna lie. My skin texture leaves little to be desired. I have freckles which are caused from the sun so that means I have sun damaged skin.

A Microwave, an Air Fryer and a Convection Oven all-in-one, Oh My!

A Microwave, an Air Fryer and a Convection Oven all-in-one, Oh My!

I’ve been compensated in the form of a best buy gift card, however, all thoughts are my own.

The Best Pumpkin Patches in Portland, OR (and surrounding areas)

The Best Pumpkin Patches in Portland, OR (and surrounding areas)

It’s almost that time of year AGAIN. I know I say this all of the time, but where does the time go? UGH! I wished it would slow down a little bit. My daughter and I have already begun our pumpkin season by starting off with a pumpkin pie blizzard from Dairy Queen; yum!  We love this time of year since there’s such fun activities to do and plenty of places to visit local to us. We had planned this…
