Do you have a travel first aid kit to take along on all of your summer trips? As I type these words, I realized…I don’t have one! And I should. Luckily, we have the internet, online shopping, and 24-hour drugstores that make it easy for me to put a travel first...

I’m usually a silver-hoops-only kind of gal, but I’m starting to reconsider my earring choices because of this gorgeous collection by SUGARFIX by BaubleBar at Target. After all, there has to be more to life than boring, shiny metal circles, right? Something to...
