Fall Wish List

Having my spring wish list was a great way to set priorities for things that I needed and wanted. It was really helpful for me and I've referred back to a lot over the past months, updating as I found American-made products and made purchases.

Putting My Best Beach Face Forward

I apologize in advance for a post that might seem a little vain: makeup for the beach.
