• Shopping for Jeans!

    Things I’ve learned in my 56 years, buying jeans is NOT as easy for women as it is for men!! DH walks in, goes to his size shelf. Done. So NOT fair!! I’m taking pair after pair into the dressing room! So, here is what I’ve learned for a successful jean shopping experience. Don’t take a ‘non shopper’ with you. Seriously! You need to take your time.  DH stays home! My daughters HOME! My son HOME!  I will not be rushed in my jeans shopping quest.  Here is my personal shopping strategy. I zero in on the style, cut and color that I like the best.  My favorite jean color is the dark wash, the dark jeans are instantly slimming!!  Seriously, who doesn’t love that?!   Next I save myself trouble and time by grabbing 3 sizes to take into the fitting room.  A pair in my normal size, one larger and one smaller. As much as I would like to see universal sizing in jeans, every brand has a different size structure. I might be a 10 in one size and 14 in another, even a 16! Once I’m in the fitting room I do a couple of squats, I…

  • babyganics Sunscreen! #babysafe

    I may have never used sunblock on myself…… well, ever.  Until my 50’s at least!!  My own kids, well, I did sorta good. Not great by any means. However! This NaNa is so much smarter where her Grandbabies are concerned!! I never forget sunscreen for Alice. We are outside a LOT. We are in the pool almost daily in the summer. I want a great, STRONG, waterproof sunscreen.  I found it!! babyganics. I love so many things about babyganics! First it’s water-resistant. UP to 80 minutes!!  I don’t know about you, but grabbing kids out of the pool or playing in the park to apply more sunscreen is like trying to give a cat a bath! HOLY MOLY KID!! I’m trying to save your skin! You’ll thank me when your 50! Trust me! So 80 minutes is a fantastic perk. More to love about babyganics sunscreens is all the different forms this wonderful sunscreen comes in.  From tube sunscreen to a spray, even single use tubes, all the way to a stick formula.  I received the 6 ounce tube,  SPF 50+ Mineral Based Sunscreen and the SPF 50+ Pure Mineral Sunscreen Stick . From the absolutely adorable, fun, make-you-smile, packaging to the…
