Life gets loud. Between the constant hum of Mai Boys' energy, the piles of laundry that never fold themselves, and the endless chores that need to be done, it’s easy to forget to hit pause. But if Motherhood has taught me anything, it’s this: you can’t pour from an empty cup. And for me, that… Continue reading Mask Up, Mamas!

Mai Go-To for Eyelid Eczema: Marin Cream
In a previous post, I shared how I mix Cetaphil and Aquaphor for Mai Boys' body eczema- on arms, legs, back, and torso. But eyelid eczema is a whole different story.

The One Makeup Product I Swear By (And I Don’t Even Wear Makeup)
Let me get this out of the way: I don't wear makeup. Not because I have anything against it- I just don't have the skills. I've never been a girly-girl and I have zero clue to what I'm doing. I don't know how to contour, blend or bake (unless we're talking cookies). I'm the type… Continue reading The One Makeup Product I Swear By (And I Don’t Even Wear Makeup)
Massages, Mayhem and the Magic of Pressing Pause
