THE EVERYDAY EXCHANGE

My lounge & sleepwear situation can be broken down into the following two categories:

Jokes (or are they?) aside, most days I end up somewhere in the middle.  It's important to me to keep myself looking cute for the hubs, but let's be honest: given the choice between my raggedy t-shirt from college and a silk pajama set to sleep in?  Good ol' rags wins every time. 

In my quest to find the right balance of cute, cozy & functional (functional being the key word here) sleepwe...

Here's the deal - most days I don't get around to putting on makeup.  With a traveling husband and busy toddler always on the move, I'm lucky to get 5 minutes to get dressed (THANK YOU BUBBLE GUPPIES).   I do manage, however, to pull together a fun little outfit most days thanks to the fact that "athleisure" is now considered appropriate everyday attire.

So here's to mornings.  At least you can look like you made it to the gym?

The older I get, the more I realize how important it is to have a nightly bedtime beauty routine.  Gone are the days of coming home and crashing full-faced makeup into the pillow and waking up looking like I meant to have that tousled hair and smoky eye at 10am.  I forget what sleeping until 10am feels like.  Is it heaven?  Do angels sing to you?  Do you wake up with tears in your eyes because your slumber was so beautiful?

It's spring time!  Which means spring break.  Which means it's almost Memorial Day.  Which means it's almost summer and I need to get a tan.  Because I am a better person when I am tan, nah mean?

Recently my husband and I were starting to feel too much like Rhianna with all this work, work, work, work, work. We were visiting my parents in West Palm during spring training and decided to seize the opportunity to take a little getaway sans toddler to the keys.  We chose to stay at Playa Largo Resort & Spa in Key Largo.  It was the perfect resort for a quick couples getaway.  

It's a fairly new property, so top to bottom the resort is pristine and clean.  The decor is...

When I travel I try to save the space (and weight) of my luggage for my shoes, clothes and makeup.  That being said, I don't like to sacrifice on quality and sometimes the bins at Target just don't cut it with the product selection.  Thankfully, a lot of my favorite brands come in travel sizes and for those that don't I have found some GREAT alternatives.   When it comes down to it, I just want to have good quality products in smaller sizes.
