Living with keratosis pilaris aka chicken bumps.

If you’re Irish or have sensitive skin, then my guess is that you suffer from keratosis pilaris on the back of your arms like I do. I’ve seen different dermatologists regarding it, but nothing they prescribed helped me.

My favorite natural deodorant.

A honest review of Frank Body products.

When I heard about Frank Body products I became very excited.  A body scrub that claims to help reduce cellulite with good reviews had to be too good to be true.  I decided to order the Peppermint Body Scrub, Coconut Body Scrub, and the Body Butter.

Ladies weekend in Block Island ~ August 2015.

I spent a weekend in August with my High School friends on Block Island. Since Block Island is small and hotels book up so far in advance, we decided to rent an apartment for our weekend visit. Friday was spent on the beach at Ballard’s.  This beach is very crowded, but you have access to restrooms, […]
