This summer is already shaping up to be another scorcher here in Texas.  With record-high temperatures being predicted, the last thing I need to worry about is the makeup literally melting off my face due to the heat.  My skin is on the oily side anyway, so throw in 90+ degree temperatures and the result is definitely NOT PRETTY!

Thankfully, I recently learned of a product from Skindinavia that guarantees perfect makeup all day, for those of us with fine lines and wrinkles, for up to 16 hours.  Just think, no more creasing, clumping, caking, meltdown or excess shine.  Have I died and gone to heaven?  Keep reading to find out!

I love being a homeowner, for now I have a permanent palette to create and decorate as I please.  We've lived in our home for almost six years and have changed virtually every inch of it to suit our style and tastes.  Currently, we are in the process of remodeling our kitchen and due to the oh-so-stylish gold lacquered fixtures already installed there, I was ready for a much-needed update.

When thinking of changing our kitchen faucet, several manufacturers came to mind, including Danze.  They design art that’s meant to be used...and used...and used.  They guarantee to pay attention to every last detail as if it were the first and were kind enough to allow me to review one of their most popular faucet designs, the Parma Two-Handle Faucet in Polished Chrome.  Keep reading to learn more!

My husband is a terrific father to our daughter and I can't wait for Father's Day to arrive this year so that we can truly express our gratitude for all of his love and hard work.  I want to get Michael a meaningful present, one that he can look upon anytime and will remind him of a certain special period in his life.

Finding those meaningful gifts for men can sometimes be difficult, but this year, I think I struck gold with the help of PicturesOnGold.com.  They have a wide variety of Father's Day Photo Jewelry that is sure to be a hit with any dad.  Now, Michael will be able to wear a picture of Riley around his neck in a totally manly way, thanks to the photo dog tag necklace I was sent to review.  Keep reading to learn more!

Spring has sprung and summer is following closely on its heels.  With these two seasons come increased pollen counts throughout the country.  Experts are predicting that this could be the worst allergy season on record, wreaking havoc on America's 40 million seasonal allergy sufferers.

Unsuspecting sufferers may not realize that millions of seasonal allergen pollen grains get trapped in clothing and are brought into homes undetected.  According to a recently published study, on a peak pollen day, a large t-shirt can trap up to 7 million pollen grains.   :nervous:

Thankfully, all laundry detergent has developed a way to combat these pesky allergens by effectively removing them from your clothing.  Keep reading to learn more about the liquid laundry detergent every allergy-suffering family shouldn't be without...all free clear!

If you've been reading many of my posts over the last few months, you'll remember that I am doing my best to "bring the heat" in the battle of the bulge.  I still have about 7 more pounds to go and what I've learned so far is that my biggest deterrent to actually losing this weight is my inability to stick to a regular exercise routine.  For me, I'm just so drained throughout the day and it takes more energy than I have to get going to the gym.

Once I'm there, life is good and I'm proud of myself for having made it there to work out.  But every day the struggle to get off the couch begins anew.  If only there were a way to get that much-needed energy boost without adding a ton of sugar, caffeine and undo calories to the equation.  Now, thanks to 1st Step PRO-WELLNESS, I may have just found what I need to improve my energy level, lose weight, get lean and toned muscles and enhance my nutrition.  Keep reading to learn more!

Now that summer is here, I can honestly say that I've been "setting my piggies free" in every type of sandal under the sun.  What I've noticed though is that most sandals are designed strictly for fashion with little consideration to how your feet might actually feel while wearing them.

Since this is definitely the time of year for cool footwear that shows off your toes, I was intrigued to find a brand of sandals whose main purpose is to deliver that "OOH" feeling by using some cutting-edge technology.  Keep reading to learn more about the sandals guaranteed to provide your tootsies the optimal comfort and support they need with every step you take!
