 Shaving with a straight razor. It is the epitome of manliness. Today, we are going to tell you the basics of how to shave with a straight razor. First of all, get your supplies together. You are going to need: your razor, a couple of good badger shaving brushes , a hot towel. There might be a few more supplies you'll need in a minute, but we'll get to that soon. First of all, you'll have to prep your beard. You can do that by taking a hot shower, or by pressing your hot towel against your face. Fill a mug or small bowl with super duper hot water, and let your brush soak for a few minutes. Next, squeeze out the excess water from your brush. You can throw away the water that is left in the bowl or mug now, if you wish. Now you can use the bowl and your shaving cream or soap to make a lather.  Next, you are going to wet your face again, and then apply the shaving cream or shaving foam directly to your face. Then you can use your brush to "paint" your face and le...

I think when you become a mom, you just automatically develop a love for coffee. Well, that is what happened to me anyway. I never was really a coffee freak until I had kids. I liked iced coffee, things like that, but I didn't really drink it very much and when I did, I didn't drink a whole lot. Cue having kids. Now, I can't get enough coffee. The thing is, I am the only one in my house that ever drinks coffee. And once I have a cup, maybe two max, I'm bored with it and I don't want anymore. So, it's never really been sensible for me to make a whole pot of coffee, just to throw 80% of it away.  Well, all of that changed for me recently when I had the chance to work with an awesome company. CoffeeHouseExpress.com knows their stuff when it comes to coffee! They have over 60 (SIXTY!) years of experience in the coffee biz, and they know what people like! Their website has TONS of different types of gourmet coffees, awesome brewers, and tons of other great ...

Now, that he is really getting older and into stuff like Minecraft and Legos, he wants to be a builder. My youngest (almost three) recently told me that he wants to be a "car fixer" when he grows up. I am ...

What do you know about Business Insurance Services ? If you're like me, than probably not much.. I really had no idea about Business Insurance Services before someone told me about them. I probably never would have considered them, and that is sad! However, business insurance is really important when you are a business owner. God forbid, your company gets sued by someone. You will need help, you will need backup. You will need protection. And small business insurance can help you with that. You first and foremost need property damage and bodily injury liability insurance. That is the most important. This will cover you in case something happens, like a customer slipping and falling in your store, or one of your employee's accidentally damaging a customer's property. You hope it doesn't happen, but you have to be realistic. It might. Personal injury coverage is a little bit different than bodily injury. Bodily injury deals with actual physical harm, while personal inj...

Most of you know that I have been trying to go back to school for awhile now. I don't really like the fact that I dropped out of college after only one semester. Then, a husband, and two babies later, it is much harder to go back than I ever anticipated. I mean, I only want to do something close to home, it's not like I want to go to colorado business school or anything. There are a ton of reasons why I want to go back to school. First of all, I want to be able to have a job that makes more money. I want to be able to have a job that my kids are proud of me for. I want them to see that I succeeded in life and that I didn't give up. I don't want them to think that quitting is okay. I would love to continue learning, I have always been a "school" type of girl, and I love learning new things. I really just want to do something my kids can be proud of. Going back to school when you are a grown up is not a piece of cake. It is hard, way harder than you would t...
