Gift Giving Made Easy with Groupon ~ Women’s Gift Idea

My cute sister-in-law recently moved to Utah, and she’s not a big fan of the cold. I think she’d live in tank tops and flip flops if she could. So, I found the perfect gift idea at Groupon that will give her an excuse to put on her bathing suit and escape the cold … a 40-minute swim in a geothermal pool naturally heated to over 90 degrees! The Groupon is for two and includes snorkel gear, so she can bring a friend or cute boy with her and have a really memorable experience!

Unique Mother’s Day Gift ~ Featuring DOVE® Dark Chocolate!!

There is no way to put into words how unique and amazing my mom is, and I’m sure almost everyone feels the same about their own mom! I’m continually discovering aspects of my personality that I can trace back to my mom – which I love. As I ponder some of the things that make me happy (reading and chocolate, to name a few), I’ve come to realize that I love them BECAUSE my mom loved them.

Whenever I think back on my childhood, I picture my mom reading. Whenever she had down time (which wasn’t often with seven kids), she was reading. On long drives, she would read. When we went on vacations, she would read. When she locked herself in the bathroom, she would read – haha. And now I do the same thing!

My Favorite CUTE Planners for Organization

I love discovering new and great online shops and I just recently heard about Erin Condren. Have you heard of it? It’s where you get ‘personalized, stylized, and organized.’ I checked it out and… um, pretty much want one of everything. Note cards, address labels, announcements, wrapping paper, note pads, ect. But, they are mostly known for their awesome, customizable planners for organization. I just ordered one a couple weeks ago and have been so proud of it. It’s so CUTE and totally appeals to my girly-girl side, with customized stickers, colorful pens, organization pockets, and inspirational quotes.

Mariel’s Summer Picks 2013 ~ Gift Ideas for Women

I can only go so long without sharing my favorite things. It’s almost painful for me to hold them inside. So, please allow me some relief, while I share some of my favorite things for summer…

Okay, so first I’m a super whitey AND I don’t want to ruin my skin. So, I’m all over a nice fake tanning lotion. A nice one. Non-orange, non-splotchy, and non-stinky…a tough combo to find. But, I think I found it. I am currently in love with my new fake tanning lotion. It’s called Fake Bake Flawless. After reading the great reviews on Amazon, I had to try it (of course), and I’m pretty darn pleased. It’s a lot cheaper than the Xen Tan that I was using before, which was like $30 bucks, or something. This is about $15, if you get it from Amazon. Anyway, so I love that it’s a spray liquid…not a cream. It can be rubbed around lots quicker and the color is a brown shade. No orange here! I even got compliments on my tan legs…in May. That’s a little unusual for Utah, but I took it. It’s almost June, it could be natural!

My Favorite Things ~ Gift Ideas for Women

Suh-weet, it’s my turn! I’ve got lots of new favorites, since last year, so I’m anxious to share them with you. Let’s get started!

I just had my second pedicure ever a couple months ago. This time I opted to try the shellac (gel nails) to hopefully have the polish last longer. It was a couple days before baby Ben was born, and I wanted pretty toes so that when I glanced down at my soon-to-be saggy belly, I would be distracted by my shiny, cute toes. Anyway, I LOVED the whole shellac thing. It literally stayed on for 3 weeks and stayed as shiny as day 1. It was awesome. Once it started looking ratty, I removed it and longed to have it done again. But, six kids at home…new baby? I don’t think so. So, while decompressing at my local Target, I noticed gel polish kits. Hello! Yes. I picked one up and have been a fan ever since.

My Favorite Things ~ Gift Ideas for Women (she: Taralyn)

Hello lovelies! My name is Taralyn and I am excited to share a few of my favorite things with you! As the mama of Lily (5), Cortland (3), and Kyler (1), I wear many different shoes. There are my laced-up tennies for Fly Ladying it up, slippers for kicking back and relaxing, running shoes for 5K training, and heels for date night. My blog Keep Moving Forward With Me follows my footsteps as I make progress in all areas of my life. I’d love to have you join me on Pinterest or Facebook!

I am always on the lookout for products that make my life easier as a woman, wife, mom, and blogger. It’s hard to narrow the list down to a few of my favorite things, but here it goes!

As a mom of busy littles, a 3-minute shower may be the longest me-time of the day. And even then those cute little fingers make their way under the door! I’ve been experimenting with various natural soaps to see which ones give me the most “ahhhhhh” factor. Last year I discovered the Ancient Seas Spa Bar by Sego Lily Soaps and I’ve never looked back. It has a calming and balanced aroma that features notes of lemongrass and black current with hints of patchouli, sugar cane and lime. Sounds (and smells) divine, right? Love that it is locally made – gotta support small businesses! Five dollars a bar and worth every pretty penny for how it makes my skin feel.
