I only share products I truly love and use myself. I don’t receive free products—everything you see here is something I’ve purchased with my own money. Honestly, I often buy and test 10 different options before finding the one that’s worth sharing (my husband is not always thrilled about that part!).
THIS POST MAY CONTAIN AFFILIATE LINKS.
This blog started as a way to share the solutions I was creating for my own problems. Friends kept asking for my DIY recipes, so I began posting them here to make them easy to find. Over time, it grew into a place where I could share all my research to help others too.
I often share multiple solutions because I know life is busy, and sometimes you want to make something from scratch, while other times you just want to buy it. For example, I have a favorite DIY deodorant recipe, but I also keep a store-bought deodorant I love for when life gets hectic. Over the years, my favorites have changed as I’ve discovered new products, and I share those updates too.
I partner with companies I trust through affiliate programs. If you purchase through one of my links, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. That said, I’ll always be honest about what I do and don’t like. For instance, I adore Young Living oils, diffusers, cookware, and household cleaner, but I’m not a fan of their hand soap—so I make my own instead!
Not every link here is an affiliate link. If I love something, I’ll share it whether I make a commission or not.
I started blogging back in 2008, and over the years, I’ve had many opportunities to partner with brands. Some of my affiliate relationships include Amazon, Make Over Your Mornings & Evenings, Beautycounter, Norwex, and Young Living. I only promote products I truly use, love, and purchase with my own money.
If you ever have questions about my affiliations, feel free to reach out. Thank you so much for supporting this blog and helping me continue sharing what I love!

BLOG HOSTING
START WITH BLUEHOST TO HOST YOUR SITE.
I started with Bluehost at $4/month until I needed more. Then I moved to Siteground. Then to WP Engine for like 5 minutes. And now I’m with Big Scoots.
MY CURRENT HOST IS BIGSCOOTS AND I COULDN’T BE HAPPIER!
I did a ton of research as I was leaving Siteground to grow. I needed a host to grow with and to increase my speed. I was totally happy with Siteground until I grew too much and had to go to a bigger plan and started to to research. I started hearing all about Big Scoots and some trusted friends of mine told me to try them. I have been really happy with their excellent customer service!

I UPGRADED TO SITEGROUND AFTER BLUEHOST. BUT LOOK AT BIGSCOOTS FIRST.
I WAS WITH WP ENGINE FOR ABOUT 5 MIN BEFORE I HEARD ABOUT BIG SCOOTS!
