I’m really excited to share this with you. I have teamed up with Dermadry to create this post. All opinions are honest and my own. Picture it: June 1994, graduation day. The day was blessed with glorious summer weather, and my boyfriend and friends were having their graduation ceremony at…

You are a mother, so most likely, you have decided that this new year you will do more for your child, or perhaps more for others. I have another suggestion. Being a mother channels your gratitude, love, patience and understanding, but it also shines a bright light on self-doubt, anxiety…
