What’s one of the things that makes me happiest? That would easily be traveling, especially with people I love. One of my favorite destinations to travel to is Hawaii. I’ve been there twice now and am traveling back to Oahu next month. Hawaii has a special place in my heart because when I went there for the first time at the age of 4, I learned how to swim, the second time (2016) went for a family vacation and wedding, and now next month I am the one getting married there! So lots of special memories that have been made and are yet to be made there in the beautiful island state…

A Fashion Must-Have: Convertible Pantyhose By Glogover (Review)
I’ll have to admit, I haven’t worn pantyhose for years! They’ve simply just been such a hassle for me in the past. Pantyhose reminds me of the days in my youth when I had to wear itchy, uncomfortable tights and other kinds of stockings for special occasions like Christmas, church, and family photos. Since It’s been a while since wearing tights, or partyhose, I thought I would give them another try. I got the opportunity to test out the Convertibles Pantyhose by Glogover Hosiery. I really took interest in the Convertibles by Glogover ($18) because they aren’t like average pantyhose. In fact they are the world’s only pantyhose with an innovative…

December Favorites: Mirakle Skin Face Cream (Review)
I’m a very cautious person when it comes to what kind of moisturizer goes on my face. It can’t be too heavy, strong scented and most certainly CAN’T leave my face feeling like I rubbed butter all over it. I’ve come across moisturizers in the past that literally feel like they just sit on the surface of the face without absorbing whatsoever. Claiming to simply moisturize, those moisturizers just left me with acne- and an extra oily face. Anyway, since I’m so picky, I’ve been trying out all kinds of different skin care product to see which ones work and which ones don’t, especially since it’s around that time of…
