mom

Gotta be honest…I usually find faith-based films kind of cheesy and heavy-handed. BUT, I saw Mom’s Night Out this month and really enjoyed it. A truly good, fun, and entertaining movie with some Spiritual substance (that didn’t feel like a sermon). I’d love to see more movies going in that direction. Recommend this one! – Erin

Buzzfeed – Things You Do at a Wedding That’d be Creepy Anywhere Else. Haha. Love it. – Erin 

Beauty & Buys

I just started using Almay deodorant  (hello Summertime) and it is the best. It has 25% of the antiperspirant ingredient (most clinical strength deodorants have 15-20%). – Erin

I absolutely love Melaleuca Affina face wash. It comes with a cleanser, exfoliator, and lotion. It has cleared up my acne in about 3 months. – Melissa
