It's such a cruel twist of fate...whatever seems to taste the worst is usually the healthiest thing to eat and whatever tastes the best is the kind of food you should never put in your mouth.  When Charles Barkley was asked what his secret was to losing 40+ pounds recently, he said that he followed a simple diet...if it tastes good, spit it out.

Almondina Brand believes that it is indeed possible to blend healthy with delicious, and their all-natural, wonderfully crunchy almond biscuits come from a secret family recipe dating back to 1929.  Keep reading to learn more!

I've never been one to wear many dresses, though my closet is literally stuffed with slacks and button-down shirts.  There's two things I've learned about fashion over the years.  First, a wardrobe filled with timeless, classic pieces will last you for decades and second, fit is everything.  I've seen the most expensive garment I own look mediocre and a bargain basement item look absolutely stunning, all because of the way the item fit me.

Joe Button also believes in the importance of a well-made, well-fitting piece of clothing and have designed their entire business around helping you create your very own custom, one-of-a-kind fashion masterpiece.  Keep reading to learn more!

When I was a little girl, I can remember being so excited to actually receive something in the mail.  Back before there was email, text messaging and standard shipping times of just a few business days, there was the dreaded "please wait 6-8 weeks for delivery".  So when something (anything) finally arrived in the mail for me, it was cause to celebrate.

I guess some things never change, for my daughter still lights up like a Christmas tree when she receives a book, magazine or sheet of stickers in the mail.  We also play "imaginary post office" quite often where we write letters or draw pictures and then "mail" them to each other by hiding them in certain places around the room.

Metamorphic Toys has invented an eco-friendly way for your child to express themselves and utilize their imagination.  The Everythingland Mailbox can be decorated in absolutely any way possible and then can be used as an at-home post office so that the creative play can continue.  Keep reading to learn more!

"I want my clean as real as Ivory.  It's gotta be 99.44.  I want my clean as real as Ivory.  Nothing less, nothing more."  Anyone out there remember this famous jingle? :whistle:

Even thirty years after I originally heard this catchy tune, I still remember every word.  Since 1879, Ivory has been the gold standard when it comes to clean.  Though their formula has changed a bit over the years to include a wide range of body cleansers such as body wash, hand soap and facial soap, one thing remains constant.  Ivory is a brand that America relies on to deliver a pure and simple clean.  Keep reading to learn more!

I love for my daughter to play with toys of all kinds, including those typically deemed just for boys.  Chuggington is a very popular children's television show which features lovable train characters that work together to get the job done.

Riley has a Chuggington Wooden Railway set that she (and her daddy) frequently play with.  She's become quite the fan of Koko and Wilson, which is why I knew that she'd be too excited to help me review five of the newest members to the Chuggington Railway engine family.  Keep reading for the full introduction to this lovable cast!

This year, I've been chosen to participate in the H-E-B Beauty Bloggers program! Each and every month, I will be bringing you the H-E-B Beauty Pick of the Month with plenty of chances to nab some great prizes too!

One of the easiest ways to update your overall look is to simply change the colors of cosmetics you're wearing.  I have my typical go-to colors appropriate for each season, which all tend to revolve around neutrals in one way or another.

Of course, summer is the season for bright and bold colors and your makeup can definitely follow suit.  The hot new summer cosmetics shade this year is coral.  Now I'm not typically bold enough to wear these dramatic peachy hues, but leave it to H-E-B and Revlon to bring me out of my shell.

This month's beauty feature is an entire summer accessories collection of lip and nail color in coral from Revlon.  Keep reading to learn more!
