If someone would have told me that upon moving abroad I would develop a rash on my forehead that would last over a year I might have changed my mind about moving. But the good news is that I solved the problem with something far more simple and less costly then I thought. And bonus points because my skin looks and feels better than ever. I'll admit that I haven't been the best at taking care of ... Read the Post
Why You Should Invest in Your Skin Right Now
Reading, Watching, Listening
I've had a lot of down time. I flew home (international flights mean lots of movies for me) and tore my ACL (lots of time spent in bed with Netflix) so that means I'm spending more time reading books, watching TV and movies, and listening to Audible and podcasts. Every few months I like to break down the best and worst. Here's what I've been hooked on recently. Shirt (old and originally from ... Read the Post

I feel like I have been here for 5 minutes and other times it feels more like 5 ... Read the Post
The Best Books I Read in 2017
Books, to me, are the quintessential escape and lesson. I believe strongly that we should always, always be learning and books have the power to transport you, teach you, and give you guidance you didn't even know you needed. 2017 was no different. I read a handful of bad books (I'll let you know the worst book I read this year) but mostly, I read awesome stories that really made me stop and think ... Read the Post
Reading, Watching, Listening
I am always on the hunt for the next show, movie, book, or podcast. I always appreciate when people share their reviews so I can pick my next thing to watch, read, or listen to. Which is why I always look forward to sharing my own series: Reading, Watching, Listening where I discuss all my favorites along with the ones I just couldn't stand. I had quite a few love or hate relationships with my ... Read the Post
