Your Teens & Tweens will love these cute and effective pimple patches

gracestella1

Woweee! Where were these cute pimple patches when I was an adolescent? As a youngster, when I needed a quick zit removal, I used a big glob of toothpaste, which also meant I wasn't going anywhere in public for the next 12 hours.  

Well, times have surely changed, and turns out there's a smarter way to gain clearer-looking skin! These grace & stella Pimple Patches are almost too cute to be true, and I dare say they are a perfect acne spot treatment, especially for daytime use. I will gladly wear a fun heart sticker and other cute shapes on my face any day of the week, and it's a BONUS that these hydrocolloid patches are clinically-proven to flatten spots by absorbing fluid.

Here's how we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

pinch pots
National Hispanic Heritage Month is the period of time from September 15 to October 15 for recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans to the history, culture, and achievements in the United States. I love celebrating this month with my family, because when I was growing up, I thought "Hispanic" meant "you’re from Mexico." I knew very little about Puerto Rico, Chile, the Dominican Republic, Colombia. Argentina, and a lot of the other modern Hispanic counties and cultures. So the kids and I are learning together, year after year!

Ride Share from The Woodlands - (Newbies, learn how to take an Uber!)

rideshare
Not long ago, I took an Uber for the first time, and in case you’ve never taken one but are curious about the process, here’s the skinny! My husband travels often for work, and he has only used Lyft, so Uber was a new experience for us.

The night before my ride, I downloaded the Uber app on my iPhone and set it to utilize my location. Then I typed in my destination and the ride costs displayed. It was as simple as that! I was going to Houston’s Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) Terminal C, and my ride was approximately $48. (More on that later.)
