Spring Car Cleaning Kit

It’s that time of year when many of us get the urge to spring clean. Don’t forget your vehicle! Many of us spend a significant amount of time in our vehicles every day!

We spend a fair amount of time in our vehicle between after school shuttling to weekend road trips and I was shocked more like disgusted this spring when I cleaned out … Continue reading →

Call it me making a healthy choice, or perhaps it is a bit of OCD, but my mouth just doesn’t feel right unless I brush, floss and rinse with mouthwash. I … Continue reading →

I was completely bald in one spot and it wasn’t a small spot either (or to me it wasn’t), it was over … Continue reading →
