Screen Shot 2012-11-14 at 9.15.18 AM

If you follow me on Facebook you know I’m often asking people’s honest opinion about various products. Of much interest lately is Advocare. This is going to sound super cynical, but I do not usually trust anyone selling something. Thankfully, I have a rep in the family who actually sells Advocare and she is not one to hold back.

These are 2 things I’ve waited a long time to buy and wish I would not have waited. First, our new vacuum cleaner. The Miele. My Mom has had one for over 10 years and it’s never skipped a beat.

Emily Maynard’s hair always looks so perfectly styled, one would assume it’s professionally done every single day. She actually does her own hair and makeup, and did for every date on The Bachelorette this past season. Impressive. Last week she tweeted that she would be {Read More}
