Makeup Review: MAC Makeup Brush Cleanser

Okay, so I'm dedicated to my old faithful of Clinique, though it's becoming harder to locate in stores now. So, I'm opting to try out other cleansers and hoping they do the same or better job. Enter MAC. Retail price is $16.00 and pretty much available everywhere. I got this at Macy's. Now we know the player, let's play the game: I wet my brushes and poured the cleanser on them. I rubbed

A Semi-Single Mom For Now

Don't be alarmed. We're not getting divorced nor are we separated. Now that you've calmed down (and hopefully you've stopped sharpening your pitchfork at me), let me explain: Maks is traveling to Ukraine for the next two weeks.

Rebel with a Cause

I recently spoke on how we just acquired a new car and I was in the process of deciding what to do with my old one. Well, I finally decided. Two weeks ago, I donated my car, Erin, aka the Midge, to ALZ.org. There were many car donation companies I could've chosen from and I had my share to pick. I chose Alzheimer's research for a reason - my Granny (maternal
