Rodan & Fields - - full review

My friend Jenn reached out to me a while ago and wanted me to review Rodan and Fields. I have been interested in the skin care line for quite some time, but just had never jumped in. As I am approaching the later half of my 30s, it’s time to get serious about skin care. The reality is, I probably should have gotten serious about it a decade ago… But hindsight is 20/20. Before we go forward, I wasn't to be clear...I paid for this product.  I am in no way being compensated for my words or opinions.  All are my own.













The thing about Rodan and Fields, it’s not cheap. This works in my favor, because I am cheap so there was no way I was gonna waste this money. The price forced me to take it more seriously than  other skin care options I had tried. After about a week, I found the routine that worked for me. I put the scrub in the shower the night cream next to my bed. If I’m being honest, I probably only followed the regimen as directed about 50% of the time. I find myself taking showers and washing my face at odd hours. Whether it be yardwork or playing tennis, I often take showers during my youngest nap. This puts me in a quandary at 3 PM do I use the day cream and night cream???  Needless to say, after some experimenting and tweaking I found what works for me. I probably only use the scrub/face face wash once a day but I am trying to be very deliberate about the creams.

I have very watery eyes, so I use waterproof mascara. I found that I had to use a  foaming gentle face wash to get my mascara off as opposed to the scrub exclusively. I also like the idea of double cleansing the sweat and make up off at the end of the day.


I continue to be impressed at how long these products last. I am eight weeks plus in to my products and still have plenty to spare. I’m looking forward to train more Rodan and Fields. I especially want to try the roller and serum.

DIY Salon Worthy Manicure at Home

DIY salon manicure at home So, like many of you mamas I don’t always have time to sneak off to the nail salon to get a manicure. Not only that, but weekly trips to the salon are not always in the budget. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love going to the salon. But the logistics get tough, I have to find someone to watch the youngest of my kiddos. So, a $30 manicure turns into a $50 outing once I pay the babysitter. More often than not, I do my nails at home. Here is how I am able achieve a salon look quickly at home. I tend do my nails at night after the kids are all in bed, while watching TV.  Starting with clean dry nails, here is my process. First, I rub hand sanitizer or rubbing alcohol on on my nails. This takes the excess oil off of my nails and allows the polish to adhere better. This is the first step to a longer-lasting manicure. Second, I use a basecoat. I love Orly Bonder. It’s a rubberized product that allows the color to stick to y...

Tween Room Inspiration

Our oldest just turned 10, I just can’t believe it. But ten is big and she is beginning to grow out of toys and little girl stuff. She currently shares a room with her 7 year old little sister. They sleep in sweet little twin beds and we hear them whispers and playing after bed time. It has been good for them to share a room. I think it’s a wonderful learning experience for children to share a room. I have much older half siblings, so I basically grew up as an only child. Learning to live in a shared space is such an important lesson. Respecting people areas, cleaning up after yourself... these are all great lessons. Things that will serve her well in college. This particular child is fiercely independent and thrives and recharges on solo time. As the baby of the family approaches needing to be out of the crib we know a change is on the horizon. Our house has enough bedrooms  for everyone to have their own room, but some are upstairs  near our Master bedroom and some downs...

Italian Cheese Ball

I blogged and did a IG live recently and made a cheeseball. You can see the blog post here. Cheeseballs are a fantastic item to serve at a gathering. They are easy, appetizing and unpretentious. You can make them any flavor to fit what you are looking for. This last weekend we were swimming at a friends house and I wanted to bring something for us to snack on. I made a Italian flavored cheeseball. Think of the flavors of an Italian sub, but in a cheeseball! So good. I like to mix my cheeseballs in an electro mixer... but that’s not necessary. It just needs to be well mixed. Ingredients: 2 finely chopped peperocinos 2 finely chopped cherry peppers 1 block of softened cream cheese 1/2 packet of Italian dressing (dry) 1/4 cup Parmesan Coating: 1-2 tablespoons of dried parsley 2-3 pieces of hard salami, chopped finely (blotted w/a paper towel to remove extra oil) 1/4 cup Parmesan Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour before serving.
