I own 10 pairs of jeans but wear three. Why can’t I let these jeans go? I gotta liberate my jeans. Why do I keep jeans that are too small? I don’t wear them. They are expensive. They are a “good” brand. I hope that I will one day I will fit back into them. Each reason […]
Growing up, I never worried about my weight. I was naturally thin and incredibly active. I participated in extracurriculars and spent a lot of time doing physical activities. You can imagine my surprise when I got to college and I started gaining a little bit of weight. And I do mean a little bit. I […]
Clean makeup products may prove to be a fad, but for now, I’m totally on-board. As a mom to a little girl who observes everything I do, and who will likely learn many daily routine habits from me, I want to show her good examples. I want to show her that we think about what […]
Admittedly, much of this is new for me. While I’ve felt the tug of better choices for a number of years now, it was not until I became a mom that I became so much more aware of my clean beauty product choices. It actually started with pregnancy. I didn’t want to share aluminum from […]

So I’m sure we have all read little blurbs about what you can do to look “your best” every day. Well, I find that these hair and make up beauty hacks for the tired mom are usually delivered from gorgeous, tanned, 20 somethings. These are the all-natural women who normally don’t need more than a […]
Finding a bra that fits has never been a fun experience for me. My bra shopping experience usually goes something like this… I’m at Target; I walk by the lingerie section as my kids are desperately trying to get to the toy section. Then, I remember that the clasp on the current bra I’m wearing […]
Who am I? My name is Charlene and I’m a recovering perfectionist. I was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder last October, when I had decided to step into counseling.
