Travel to Paradise from your Desk or on a Actual Vacation with Sunsweet Dried Fruit.

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunsweet Growers. All opinions are 100% mine. Now that we have an office at work I’ve been stockpiling my desk with tons of snacks for those days when I’m sitting at my desk sifting through mounds of data.

I’m sharing #LISTERINE in my life as part of a LISTERINE® sponsored series for Socialstars™ Have you ever had that feeling that you wanted something bigger and better for your life but you just weren’t sure how to get started or what steps you needed to take get there? Stepping up to the plate and claiming your place in the world can be both a scary yet completely gratifying move.  I know this because I did just that in November of 2013 when I listened to that still small voice pushing me to rebrand my beloved beauty only site “Cosmetically…
