Why is it so hard to be real? #ThisIsMe
This past week I was in Arkansas for a conference with my online family Collective Bias. I couldn’t wait! All I could think about was all the things I would learn to help make me a better blogger as well as networking. However, I was surprised by how inspired I was several times with some of the touching keynotes. I couldn’t imagine getting up there and telling a room of 300+ people the truth. I guess you could say that I felt the need to only talk about ways to make gluten free and healthy living easier. If I had been doing this for 5+ years and still have bad days, then why would anyone want to listen to me. I felt like a fraud sometimes putting on the facade. When I started Great Contradictions over 2 years ago, I started to tell my story (and...

Read MoreInfinitiPRO by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron to the rescue for wavy hair #SoFabCon #beauty
I have no time for myself. I have been known on occasion to leave the house without even looking in the mirror. I like to consider myself low maintenance. I detest spending forever getting ready. However, as much as I love being low maintenance, I enjoy when I get the chance to get pampered, but who has the spare time though? I am lucky to get in for a hair trim every 3-6 months. When I was at SoFabCon recently, Conair was one of the generous brands located in the brand salon. I had to check it out and lucky for me they were giving away InfinitiPRO by Conair Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Irons. They were also doing hair makeovers, but everytime I stopped by there was a line. I have never (Seriously NEVER) even attempted to use a flat iron. With my wavy hair, I feel...

Read MoreSally Hansen Gel Strips from a reformed nail biter {Beauty Review}
I don’t often talk about being a reformed nail biter. I bit my nails since I was a little girl for 20+ years. Over the years, I kept trying to quit. My mom tried to be helpful, but her help just made me more nervous. I tried several remedies and I finally found what works for me! Nail biting was definitely one of my bad habits that I am glad is a thing of the past. I used a combination of Vitamin B to strengthen nails and Sally Hansen Maximum Nail Growth. Once I kicked the habit though. I started treating myself with at-home manicures. Everyone has bad habits for a reason and mine stems from being a perfectionist! I realized that a trigger to want to bite my nails was when my nails were not even or when the polish started chipping. I would try to fix it then...
