A “Simple” Skin Care Regimen
Published on Monday, March 26, 2012 by Caryn Bailey Most days, I am content if I've had a moment to wash and moisturize my face before going to bed, so you can assume that my skin care regimen is at best simple. Last week I gave you an inside look at my personal beauty regime, complete with the products I use, the areas I focus on, and the short cuts I take when I'm running out of time. Like my beauty regime, my sk... Read More » -

Up until Christmas Eve, my beauty regimen consisted of washing my face with soap and water. (period) But that wasn't always my routine. When I was single I spent a lot of time buying and using the proper skin care products s... Read More » -

BlogHer ’09 Sponsor: Cozi
Published on Sunday, August 9, 2009 by Caryn Bailey The only thing good thing about my exacerbated forgetfulness during pregnancy was my ability to blame it on those crazy hormones. When my son was a baby, I had a new excuse...sleep deprivation. These days I'm still just as forgetful, but I have nothing left to blame it on. I've been known to forget appointments, get-togethers and more. And now that we have a b... Read More » -

The ToyWrangler by LuvLoo
Published on Saturday, May 23, 2009 by Caryn Bailey My mom and I were out to lunch this afternoon to celebrate a belated Mother's Day. My son was with us and while he was pretty well-behaved, much of the time was spent picking up toys and other objects he'd thrown on the floor once he was done playing with them. I remember how cute it was when he was a baby and he'd throw everything from his high chair or stroller.... Read More » -

Bob Stroller Strides Fitness Stroller
Published on Monday, May 18, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Having a baby has been (and is) one of the most joyful experiences in my life. It's definitely also the busiest I've ever been. Babies and toddlers take up a lot of time (and rightly so), and I find myself neglecting myself at times. As a woman and a mother, I find that one of the most important things I can do for my child is to keep myself healthy. If you... Read More » -

Totin’ Your Tot In Style!
Published on Thursday, May 14, 2009 by Caryn Bailey The fabulous Metropolitan Mama recently blogged about baby niceties and necessities in one of her themed weekends and it really got me thinking. Much of my shopping is done online and I can't tell you how many beautiful products I've seen for babies and toddlers. I also happen to live in Orange County and grew up in Los Angeles, home to more than a few chic ... Read More » -

SoftSoap Ensembles
Published on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Now that we own a home, I've had a lot of fun decorating! And many companies are making home decorating even easier by using attractive canisters for their products (i.e. Clorox Decor Canisters). I think the idea is brilliant. I don't have to buy separate containers and canisters to put products in to personalize the look of my home. It's also less wasteful ... Read More » -

MomAgenda
Published on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I am busy! I work part-time as a nurse and full time as a wife and mom to a very active toddler! We're thinking of adding another one into the mix and I can't imagine how I'm going to keep everything straight. I am the type of person that needs to write everything down or it gets forgotten. My husband, on the other hand, works better with online calendars which... Read More » -

Always Infinity
Published on Tuesday, May 12, 2009 by Caryn Bailey As a nurse with almost nine years of experience in obstetric and neonatal nursing, I'm likely not surprised or shocked by much. It's actually pretty normal for me to have discussions with my friends and family that most people would not partake in. So if it comes as a shock to you that I'm discussing products related to "that time of the month," then I sincerely a... Read More » -

Published on Monday, May 11, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I absolutely love giving gifts...even more than receiving them! It's so much fun to watch someone light up with joy as they open something they have not expected. I love giving and receiving hand-crafted items, however, the Martha Stewart in me has yet to blossom which leaves me searching for creative, personal, unique gift ideas. If you're out of gift ideas, yo... Read More » -

Mother’s Day 2009: Hana Elite Flat Iro...
Published on Tuesday, May 5, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I have been blessed with naturally curly hair, but it wasn't always that way. When I was a child, I had thick, wavy hair, however, I would not characterize it as curly (I wish I had a picture to show you!). As the saying goes, we always want we can't have. I used to beg my mom for a perm because I wanted curly hair like the other girls in my class. As it turns o... Read More » -

Do Something Green…With Your Clean! (Pa...
Published on Saturday, April 25, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Spring isn't over yet and I'm constantly cleaning SOMETHING! It's never-ending I tell you. If you have children in the house, then you want to make sure you're cleaning with products that are safe and eco-friendly. Conventional, household cleaning agents are among the most toxic substances you'll find in your household, contributing to problems like allergie... Read More » -

Published on Thursday, April 23, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I just finished a HUGE cleaning series so you're probably wondering why I'm blogging about yet ANOTHER cleaning product. AND, I assume you're wondering why I'm blogging about a product that doesn't seem to be very "green" (particularly considering it's Earth Week). I don't know about you, but where we live (which is about 10 minutes or so from the beach) it gets h... Read More » -

Do Something Green: Ditch Artificial Everyth...
Published on Wednesday, April 22, 2009 by Caryn Bailey ALL food should be good food! Naturally Nora It's Earth Week and today is Earth Day, so I'm celebrating by baking a cake. We Bailey's have a sweet tooth and I'm certain it's been genetically passed on to my son. I digress for a moment to prove this to you. Over the weekend, while dining at Olive Garden, my son proceeded to grab one of the chocolate mints off o... Read More » -

Published on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 by Caryn Bailey Do you remember all the things you said you would or wouldn't do when you were pregnant with your first child? Here is my list: 1. Breast feed exclusively without using bottles, pacifiers, artificial nipples or formula 2. Make my son's food from scratch using solely organic ingredients 3. Only purchase BPA-free sippy cups, plates, etc. 4. Get rid o... Read More » -

Music Ace Deluxe
Published on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I hope my son is grows up with an appreciation for music. My husband sings at church and I started playing the piano before I could walk (well...maybe not THAT young!). I was in the choir in high school and have sung in our church choir off and on. Needless to say he will be exposed to music via parents who appreciate it's richness and beauty. Did you know tha... Read More » -

Print, Prosper, and Save With Kodak
Published on Friday, April 10, 2009 by Caryn Bailey I've been hinting about my involvement with Kodak for the past week or so (and you're probably wondering when I'm just going to get on with it!). Last week I had an opportunity to participate in an online briefing with personal finance expert Laura Rowley and Kodak, to talk about about the numerous ways we can save money in every room of our homes. The briefin... Read More » -

Bright Star Kids
Published on Thursday, April 9, 2009 by Caryn Bailey We finally moved into our very first home (purchased all by ourselves!) in October. Owning a home has been a dream of mine for a very long time. Along with privacy (and many more amenities, of course), I have the freedom to decorate to my heart's content. Since my husband and I got married 3 years ago, we've either lived in an apartment or with my parents (joy!)... Read More » -

Get Organized With Fellowes!
Published on Wednesday, April 8, 2009 by Caryn Bailey As a nurse and a parent, I've accumulated more papers than I can keep track of. I clip magazine articles from nursing and parenting magazines, save all of my old nursing files, and generally just have a lot of paper clutter that must vacate my house! When I started my cleaning spree at the beginning of March, one of my goals was to reduce the paper clutter in my... Read More »
