The holidays are a time filled with joy, laughter, and family.

Imagine you’re out shopping for new makeup, like mascara. You get to the mall and are standing outside of Sephora. You’re not really sure what mascara you’re going to buy, but you know you NEED mascara {girls have needs}. Before you walk in, you notice your friend has a store right next to Sephora where…
Mom bod. That’s a thing now. Remember the Dad bod craze? Yeah, that time it was cool to have a beer belly and non-defined pecs. I see you, Leo. {I’ll never let go}. Per usual, guys can get away with the Dad bod, but Moms are kinda given a look like {aww… she hasn’t gotten…
