PeaceLoveMom Thermals Celebrate Motherhood

During the winter, I live in long-sleeved thermals and jeans. It's like my mommy uniform. A hoodie gets tossed on and off during the day, I snuggle up in my thermal.

My absolute favorite is by PeaceLoveMom. Their collection is all about celebrating Motherhood and all that it means. Their thermals are constructed of ultra-comfy cotton in a waffle weave with messages like "Grateful Mom", "Lucky Mom", "Happy Mom", "Rock&Roll Mom" and "24 Hour Mom".

PeaceLoveMom was created by three proud mothers looking for a way to put their voice into moms fashion. A celebrity favorite too - Cindy Crawford is often photographed in their tees and thermals. She even showed off her collection on a recent episode of the Oprah Winfrey show!

TINte Cosmetics:Vintage Inspired Moisturizing Lip Color

I remember the first time I forrayed into "real" makeup. By real, I mean something a little stronger than chapstick. My first purchase was lipgloss, you remember the kind that comes in the little tins where the lid just slid off. With just a little color and a little flavor it was a big step into my teen years.

I'm not the only one who cherished those earlier times, the folks at TINte Cosmetics have built their entire line around those special memories. TINte has created a line of seven rich tones with saturated flavors and a super silky feel. Each lip cover comes with that retro inspired tin that I remember from my childhood even though the colors it holds are anything but childish.
