So, as my family loves to tease me about, I’m not much of a music person. When my husband met me, he was “impressed” with my Tito Puente CD collection (which still gets referenced to this day), and being a Long Island girl, I truly believed there was 2 kinds of music…Billy Joel and everything…
ANOTHER GIVEAWAY: Let Mazie Rose save your V-Day
“It’s the thought that counts.” “Say thank you.” “Look surprised” (even though you know what you’re getting). “Smile” (even if you hate it) and “gush about how you always wanted one”. Gifting 101. My mom drilled this into my head so by the time I was 5 I had the “gift smile” down pat. I’m…
GIVEAWAY: SEINT Makeup Bundle
I’m always on the hunt for good makeup. There are a ton of companies but when you really look at the ingredients, how it’s made, where it’s made, if it’s tested on animals, your options go down a lot. After doing tons of research I found Seint. What makes them different? They offer foundation palettes…
The Only Holiday Gift Guide You’ll Ever Need
I’m the worst gift giver ever. I only buy practical gifts and trust me no teenager wants to get period underwear, sneakers or a set of fine writing utensils (“wow, pens…thanks?”). Since I know this isn’t my thing, I leave the creative ideas to my hubby but in 2020 where literally anything can happen I…
Take care of your largest organ
Two parts Hydrogen, one part oxygen. Even someone who failed chemistry in high school (I’m looking at you Gene Haskell) knows this simple chemical formula. Beauty spas, mermaid tv shows and even a cell phone service all use this familiar recipe to sell you something. The grocery store has an entire aisle devoted to it…
pureWash Pro X2 10 Months Later…so many loads
2020…what a mess. But like the filthy Genie that I am (without the Barbara Eden outfit), I have 3 pieces of good news for you. First, as you can see, we’ve been hard at work (well, he’s been hard at work) putting a fresh coat of paint on the Living Clean and Dirty website. Still…
The Legend of Grandma Helen and the War on Plastic
The wise prophet Neil Sedaka once laid it out for us like this I beg of you don’t say goodbye, can’t we give our love another try? Come on, baby, let’s start anew, ’cause breaking up is hard to do Wiser words have never been spoken, so much so, that even the Partridge Family delivered…
Plastic ain’t Fantastic
You know I’m crunchy AF so it won’t shock you that my favorite holiday is Earth Day. And it’s coming up. Every year to celebrate I do something “green” and this year I’m going BIG! I’m breaking up with plastic. That’s right I’m kicking it to the curb. In a big blue bin. Here’s a…
