Dior J'adore Perfume
Love this perfume. The scent is not too flowery, not too musky, not too sweet - just really fresh, I guess. It doesn't read too young or old-fashioned. It's kind of expensive but, then again, many perfumes are around the same price point so it's... +
Love this perfume. The scent is not too flowery, not too musky, not too sweet - just really fresh, I guess. It doesn't read too young or old-fashioned. It's kind of expensive but, then again, many perfumes are around the same price point so it's not unreasonable. I just hint to my husband when I finish a bottle and hope for a Christmas or birthday gift. -

Live Clean Baby Tearless Shampoo and Wash
Let's face it: babies don't tend to get that dirty, they don't have B.O. and we could probably bathe them in water most of the time and be happy. That said, my toddler does get dirty - quite - and he does get a bit of a stink when he's been... +
Let's face it: babies don't tend to get that dirty, they don't have B.O. and we could probably bathe them in water most of the time and be happy. That said, my toddler does get dirty - quite - and he does get a bit of a stink when he's been running around, sweating. . . and that's when I care a bit more about the soap I use on him. We switched to Live Clean (from another leading brand) after reading about some of the chemicals used in other baby soap products. We could not be happier. This smells great and we feel great using it. It does the trick. -
Julep Freedom Polymer Top Coat
I'm torn on this product. I really want to like it but I find that it doesn't really live up to its hype. For the price (even as a Maven), I'm not sold on how well it maintains my manicure. . . and by that, I mean, my nail polish occasionally... +
I'm torn on this product. I really want to like it but I find that it doesn't really live up to its hype. For the price (even as a Maven), I'm not sold on how well it maintains my manicure. . . and by that, I mean, my nail polish occasionally peels off in chunks when I'm wearing it and doesn't when I don't. As much as I want this to be fabulous, I'm still looking for a truly effective top coat (that isn't gel nails). -
St. Ives® Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub
This is an old stand-by for me. It's gentle enough that it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin but still combats acne. A solid product for a fair price.

Fifty Shades of Grey
So as a professional English teacher, obviously this isn't great literature. But that's not why I read it. It seemed like everyone was reading this so I thought I'd give it a try, hoping for some excitement. Well, I read some passages aloud to my... +
So as a professional English teacher, obviously this isn't great literature. But that's not why I read it. It seemed like everyone was reading this so I thought I'd give it a try, hoping for some excitement. Well, I read some passages aloud to my husband. . . to make him laugh. I just didn't find this that exciting and it was pretty poorly written. -
Vicks NyQuil Cherry Cold and Flu Syrup
If one must be sick. . . at least one can have a good night's rest courtesy of Nyquil. Not going to lie, this insomniac has been tempted to use it even when not sick!

As a long-time acne sufferer - yes, I still get the occasional breakout in adulthood - I have tried everything. While I had originally purchased this years ago, I didn't really give it a fair shot when it did not immediately compare to all of the crazy chemicals I was usually rubbing all over my skin. When I became pregnant, and my skin decided to act like I was 16 again, I was a bit more hesitant to use those harsher cleansers and gave this another try. I will never go back. This leaves my skin feeling clean and soft, and not stripped of all moisture. It also works quite well to combat breakouts. -
Mr. Clean Magic Eraser

You know those crappy crayons they give out at restaurants to keep your kids busy while waiting for food? The ones that are NOT washable and clearly were made by people who do NOT have kids and do NOT understand that kids WILL hide them in the couch only to take them out later and redecorate your living room walls with them? No? Just me then? Well, this is the solution to your crappy crayon art. This is also, incidentally the solution to most of the, um, unique cleaning challenges that come along with having a 2 year old. It is also aptly named - truly magic. -
Dove Advanced Care Antiperspirant Stick Original
While I'm not sure if it actually does make my armpits any prettier (they're armpits, after all), Dove is my go-to brand for antiperspirants. They actually do help reduce sweat and stink and they keep working all day. And the price is totally... +
While I'm not sure if it actually does make my armpits any prettier (they're armpits, after all), Dove is my go-to brand for antiperspirants. They actually do help reduce sweat and stink and they keep working all day. And the price is totally reasonable, especially since they go on sale so often at my local drugstore! -
