You've heard it before; it's so important for moms to take some "me time." That can be hard with small kids who rely on you for a majority of their needs. You may get lucky with a few date nights or girls nights here and there, but why not have "me time" more often? I like to take just a short amount of time on most nights after the kids go to sleep to do something for myself that I enjoy. Here is my list of short, relaxing things to do! Take a bubble bath Calming epsom salt, bubble bath, fizzy bath bombs, exfoliation scrub - all the things. Laid back with the soothing aromas, as the stress of the day...

Disclosure: this post is sponsored by Bra Genie.  I've heard it said many times and many ways over various times in my life that a woman's single most important piece of clothing is a properly fitted, quality bra. And I'm here to tell you it's true. My husband had recently commented that my bras were starting to look "tired" and that maybe I should get some new ones.

Oh, The Perks! {My Three Hours With ALG Style} So, picture this: You get to live in a fairy tale for an evening; two fashion fairy godmothers come to your house and help you go through your closet, shoes and accessories, all the while building you up by pointing out what looks great on you and magically making what doesn't disappear. (Your husband even takes the kids away for the majority of the evening.) The scary part? You have to let them in YOUR HOUSE and in YOUR CLOSET with a PHOTOGRAPHER and put the whole thing...

Did you feel that? I think the temperature dropped about 4 degrees. Either way, it was enough for me to pull out boots and start dreaming about pumpkin spiced everything. It also made me realize that my Fall wardrobe needs help, so I enlisted the help of my fashion forward friend, Instagram boutique owner, and all around awesome local mom Amanda Galatas. Here a few of her tips for transitioning your wardrobe from Summer to Fall in Louisiana. Plaid is rad. This season plaid is everywhere. That doesn't mean you need to get a heavy flannel shirt. Look for something in a lightweight material that breathes. While you're at it roll up the sleeves and pair it with distressed jeans. Wrap it up. A lightweight...
