The Sentimentalist
It’s been a long time since I have done a hair post. It’s hard to imagine that this somewhat sad looking hair post was the second one I ever put up on the blog just over three years ago. I’d like to think we have come a long way since then both visually and verbally…. read more
I’m feeling a little behind over here on the Christmas front. With just 8 days to go until the big day I am busy scouring the internet for something special for each person on my list. We are hug fans of stockings in our home and that’s often where I receive my favorite gifts. The… read more
During the summer “Mommy Maintenance” hits an all-time low. With camp, and swimming, and crafting, and chilling there just isn’t time to highlight, paint nails, or blow dry much. Thank God for products like Color Wow that help to hide the lack of effort. A friend recently introduced me to this line and I… read more

After this post about Five Minute Make-Up I got a few inquiries about the double braid hairdo I am sporting in the photos. I promise it is easier than it looks! I actually choose this hairdo when I am pressed for time and can’t pull off a full wash and blow dry. This hairdo works… read more
I like to think of myself as a pretty natural person. Some days (especially weekend mornings when we walk to town for coffee and bagels) I go make-up free. But during the week and when I go out at night I like to add a little “shine” to brighten my face and make the tired… read more
With the 4th of July just a few days away I couldn’t help but share a little red, white, and blue inspiration. I know my gang is already on pins and needles waiting to see the fireworks later this week. It’s our favorite night of the year. Fingers crossed we’ll have sunshine and clear skies… read more
