When our Happy Drink post came out last month it got a hugely positive response!  Apparently, there are quite a few of you out there looking for healthy ways to boost your energy in the morning.

Homemade honey hair masks: perfect for soothing scalps and getting shiny hair

When I was growing up, I was always one for a good DIY beauty treatment.  Oatmeal masks, lemon juice highlights - it was all so much fun!  Which is why I love the idea of indulging in a regular honey hair mask with your littles.  What a great way to make them feel extra special. Anna's here today with all the details on how to create some fun memories with the kids and get a healthy scalp and shiny hair, all in one fell swoop. We think raw honey is the bees knees at our house. In the … [Read more...]

Start Your Day Saying, “Hello, Happy Drink!”

March 5 by Anna

You guys know I've been on a clean eating kick as of late.  So far it's going pretty well - mood and energy are up, exhaustion is down.  And, major bonus, my adult acne (yay, you heard me) which mysteriously appeared about 6 months ago is gone - hallelujah!  It hasn't been easy, but for the most part I've been able to find substitutes for my vices; cucumber slices with laughing cow cheese instead of crackers, stevia instead of sugar, etc. The one place I've struggle though, is with my morning … [Read more...]

What to Wear this Fall (& Winter)

November 11 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

What to wear for fall- essential pieces for your regular or capsule fall wardrobe.

Lately I have found myself somewhat obsessed with the concept of a capsule wardrobe. Have you guys heard of, or do you even subscribe to, this practice?  Basically you buy a certain number of items (37 seems to be the number I come across most), and mix-and-match them over and over to create an entire wardrobe. The idea being that you get only pieces you love and then don't have to think too much about what to wear in the morning once you're capsule is complete. Whether you think this sounds … [Read more...]

Finding My Style on Pinterest

October 2 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

I'm debuting a big idea soon (very soon) and am currently hard at work on it. Also, we're currently tinkering with the feed a bit, mainly trying to get the top feature image here to show up there. While I work on all that, I wanted to share with you something else I've been working on - finding my style on Pinterest. Inspired by all the great remixable wardrobe info. Audrey shared here and here, I'm finally starting to pull myself together.  So far I've accumulated some colored pants, a few … [Read more...]

How to Style a White Tee

September 13 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

How to Style a White T-Shirt: Tons of looks and tips on how to get the most out of this basic - Love her easy style!

Have you guys ever seen those "Closet Must Haves" or "10 Pieces Every Woman Must Own" lists in style magazines?  Usually, a white tee would make it onto those lists, but I never understood why.  I bought a white tee, only to have it sit in my closet because I never knew how to wear it.  It was always just a plain white tee to me, which then translated to me as a plain outfit. … [Read more...]

What to Wear: Simple Summer Style

July 19 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

Don't you guys love how much easier it is to dress for summer?  My sister and I were just discussing how summer dresses are our new favorite thing. There's absolutely no coordinating necessary, your whole outfit is just waiting on the hanger for you in the morning ready to be slipped on.  And they're super comfy too.  What's not to love? I'm also totally diggin' two of this summer's biggest trends, neon and stripes.  So here's my formula for the perfect summer look:  comfy striped dress + neon … [Read more...]

What to Wear: Building Your Modern Mom Wardrobe

May 22 by Steph (MPMK Founder)

I have a confession to make, I've sort of (OK I've really) let myself go in the fashion department since having kids.  At first it was because of the post-baby bod... then it was because of my need for everything to be breastfeeding-friendly... when that was done I was pregnant again and the cycle started all over.   But no more, I'm finally excited about getting my cute back!  The problem is I still don't know exactly what to wear.  So I've enlisted the help of MPMK's newest contributor … [Read more...]
