Mrs. Meyer’s - Best Household Product

Mrs. Meyer’s Clean Day products are amazing! Last night I spilled soda on my carpet, so I poured a drop of the solution on a rag, rubbed it on the carpet which created a lather and wha-la the spot was gone! It’s not only a great spot remover, it is environmentally friendly, biodegradable, chemical free, and cruelty-free. The products come in 6 awesome scents: Basil, Lavender, Geranium, Baby Blossom, Clary Sage Chamomile and Rhubarb. I just ordered the hand soap, detergent, all-purpose cleaner and used the Daily Candy 30% off discount code (DC30) for extra savings. If you sign up you can receive $5 off an order of $25.

Elle asks designers to create Sigg water bottles for charity

I'm all about finding products that are best for the environment and for my family. The Sigg water bottle is eco-friendly and reusable aluminum. I can purchase a few bottles for my family and save on the cost of buying water bottles that end up being half used. Now, I need to just get a water filter for the house and we can fill up and go!

Earlier this month Elle magazine asked designers to create Sigg water bottles for charity. Some of the fashionable names that created one-of-a-kind designer bottles were Stella McCartney, Diane Von Furstenberg, Zac Posen, Michael Kors, Philip Lim, Tommy Hilfiger, Brian Reyes, and Chris Benz. The proceeds will benefit, StopGlobalWarming.org

My favorite bottle is the Anna Sui and the lovely Diane Von Furstenberg!

Audrey Hepburn Beauty Tips

Below is a wonderful poem Audrey Hepburn wrote when asked to share her 'beauty tips.'

It was read at her funeral years later.


For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands; one for helping yourself, and the other for helping others.

I have been in Georgia for over 5 weeks now and I am amazed by how little I need to feel satisfied in my day-to-day life. I must admit that I miss being around my things. My books, my clothes, my toys, my stuff are all part of what make home, home for me. Still it is unrealistic to think I could take everything with me while I stayed in my mom’s guest room. Not only do I have my things to consider but all of Isaiah’s stuff as well. This life-changing move has been nothing if not an opportunity to learn and grow. One of the really interesting lessons has been how I am able to look stylish with only a fraction of my wardrobe on hand. This has been a challenge for me not only because I don’t have access to all my clothing but also because I am still trying to find my way when it comes to dressing casually. So what have I discovered? As long as you have some wardrobe staples such as great fitting jeans in light and dark washes, black pants, a denim skirt, striped shirts ( I love stripes), and some tank tops, you can build a great casual wardrobe. On top of that foundation you need to layer an interesting jacket, sweater or shirt. In addition, accessories are the statement-makers when the rest of your outfit is so basic. I love colorful flats, earrings, and a chunky watch. For a dash of color I sometimes add a scarf around the neck or tied to my handbag. When I follow these guidelines I feel put together, comfortable, and appropriately dress for running around during the day. I wonder where else I can apply this new “less is more” philosophy…
