MY NOT-SO-SECRET SKINCARE FIX

The Serum That Has Me Saying “Plumpier” Out Loud

I’m not sure if you knew this about me, but I’m a self-proclaimed skincare junkie. It could be a part-time job at this point—especially when you factor in my other favorite pastime: falling into deep-dive research rabbit holes.

I’ve always been the friend people come to for skincare or makeup recs, so I figured—why not start sharing my faves with you too? We moms might be running on stress, fumes, and leftover snacks… but our skin doesn’t have to show it.

Right now, I’m obsessed with Prequel’s Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum. It’s light, absorbs fast, and gives me that “maybe I did get eight hours of sleep?” look. I use it right before an awesome moisturizer day and night.

It’s also one of the reasons I now regularly use the totally made-up word “plumpier” to describe my skin. (No shame. It fits.)

It’s not sticky or heavy—just leaves you looking refreshed and your skin will love you…even when you’re running on coffee and sheer willpower. If you try it, let me know what you think!

COCKTAIL CORNER

The Mango & Pineapple Mojito That Made Spring Break Travel Meltdowns Worth It

After spending spring break in Mexico with my highly sensitive kiddo (yes, we survived the travel!), I discovered the perfect summer escape in a glass. This Mango & Pineapple Mojito instantly transports me back to those precious moments of peace while my son discovered his new love for pool volleyball.

Sweet, tropical, and just tangy enough—it’s the kind of cocktail you whip up when the moms come over and the kids are off in the backyard.

The recipe calls for pineapple rum, but no stress if your pantry isn't vacation-ready! Regular rum with a splash of pineapple juice works beautifully too. Consider this your permission slip to take a 5-minute tropical vacation right in your kitchen. Because remember: a calm mama makes for a calm household!
