Family night can get complicated beyond what to flavor the popcorn with. Can you relate? I asked you — my readers what are your favorite family friendly films and BOOM, I got great responses. Obviously, use parental caution and common sense as you know what your kids can handle in terms of movies and adults themes like funerals and death like we saw last night when we watched Fried Green Tomatoes. Reid and I have enjoyed making family night special with popcorn and nacho seasoning. I included the recipe below.
Add any of your favorites in the comments.

For family night:
This Nacho Cheese Seasoning is perfect for popcorn, chips, and french fries! Or anything you want to sprinkle it on. It’s also vegan because I used nutritional yeast to give it a cheesy flavor.
½ tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 ½ teaspoon of chili pepper powder (use more if you like it extra spicy)
1 teaspoon of onion powder
½ teaspoon of cumin powder
½ teaspoon of sea salt
½ teaspoon of smoked paprika
Mix together, add on top of popcorn and drizzle with avocado oil.
Enjoy!
Face tape can be sticky business.
No pun intended.
Before I posted a reel about how I don’t use Botox for aging, I was not familiar with the magic of face tape.
A couple weeks ago, I posted a reel was on how I plan to age naturally. I mentioned in my reel that taking liquid collagen was actually cheaper! I got a flood of responses on both sides, some who related and others who disagreed. I love stirring up a good conversation. Natalie, a friend I have met on Instagram, direct messaged me saying that she uses Furlesse strips (aka face tape) to help iron out fine lines and wrinkles. She said that even though face tape compliments your current injectables, the face tape works so well she doesn’t need it.
I was intrigued.
I’ll be turning 40 in December, so I’m no stranger to laugh lines and forehead wrinkles. My follower who became a friend, Natalie, told me to try the rows for the forehead and crows for my furrowing. After my first night using them, I was hooked. I took before and after pics. It seemed to smooth wrinkled lines with consistent use. I later asked the founder, a mom and entrepreneur, Cathy, how she came up with Furlesse and how it works. Here’s her response:
“I created Furlesse over 10 years ago. I got the idea for my wrinkle patches from hearing stories of women using scotch tape, butterfly bandages, and even duct tape to smooth their wrinkles. I was intrigued by the idea of a natural solution to keeping wrinkles under control and thought that something that held wrinkles smooth might be a pretty good idea. At the time, there was nothing on the market that was clear or cut into custom shapes. I researched how to get this product created and brought it to market in 2010. Since launching over 10 years ago, there has been huge growth in this sector, and my products are more relevant than ever to what people want today.
Furlesse patches work by smoothing out the skin while holding it in place, preventing unwanted pillow creases and furrowing of the face. Certain areas of the face are prone to wrinkles due to everyday facial expressions. You can wear the patches anywhere from 20 minutes to overnight—wear them for shorter periods of time for a quick fix or throughout the night for longer lasting results. You will see immediate results upon removal with lasting effects varying per user. The more frequent and longer the use, the better the results. Furlesse patches can be used as a complement to your existing cosmetic injectable routine or can stand on their own as a natural, non-invasive option to smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. The patches are a great way for people to have an alternative way to help maintain their youthful look without having to seek drastic measures or spend lots of money with injectables.”
I’ve included my frequently asked questions below:
How do Fulesse work?
They are clear, stiff little stickers and they work by preventing your skin from folding and wrinkling as you sleep. Each one is a different shape designed for different target areas of the face that tend to crease when sleeping.
What tape do you use the most?
I love using the elevens and rows the most!
Can you use them more than once?
Yes, I use them 2-3 more nights. Just keep in mind, the more often you use them, some of the stickiness comes off.
Shalice, How do you use Furlesse?
I used the elevens and rows every night on my forehead since February 28, 2022. I apply 1 elevens between my brows before bed and after my skincare routine, I apply one elevens between my brows and about 3 rows. Just made sure that your lotion and serum is somewhat dry before applying the Furlesse. I line up the rows with my forehead wrinkles. Each pack is a 30 day supply, made in USA. I literally love waking up, peeling the patches off and seeing the results.
Coupled with drinking more H20, and taking liquid collagen, the elevens and rows have made a HUGE difference with my wrinkles.
My only regret? Not starting it sooner.
Thank you Furlesse for sponsoring this post. All opinions my own. I’m already into my 3rd package of rows and crows. UPDATED CODE 6/9: If you’re curious try, use code SHALICE25 for 25% off sitewide.
I’m not one to air my dirty laundry, but here are five reasons to switch to a “clean” laundry detergent.
We recently made the full-time switch to a non-toxic laundry detergent after my son was experiencing daily itchiness. (Non-toxic in the sense of normal conditions of use). Add this laundry detergent to your monthly subscribe and save now, for the most bang for your buck. One bottle is about 32 loads of laundry.
1) Big-box laundry detergents typically have overwhelming fragrances that make me gag. This laundry detergent has a soft jasmine fragrance and keeps your clothes smelling fresh.
2) My son’s skin sensitivities have not been an issue since we switched.
3) The detergent is so “clean” it is greywater safe, meaning…if you have a greywater system in your house you can use the used wash machine water to water your garden.
4) A “little” detergent goes a long way. Less than a capful. We do one load of laundry a day and go through one bottle a month. Perfect for the monthly subscription that saves you 15% off. That way, I save a trip to the store and buy more impulsive snacks we don’t need.
5) We even got Reid’s mom to make the switch. She always bought whatever was on sale at the grocery store, but now she’s tried it and loves the value and quality.
Why we made the Boyfriend T-shirt
Shalice Noel recently launched her newest casually chic T-shirt called The Boyfriend tee. You all loved the cropped Deep V we made last spring, and we sold out quickly! The excitement of the cropped shirt easily elevated with high waisted pants was a hit, but many requested a standard length version. We listened! Meet our newest item, The Boyfriend tee. This is the same soft modal fabric, but with thicker ribbing at the neckline and hangs just above your hips for a casual chic, front tuck look.
When designing the new Shalice Noel T-shirt, we made a spreadsheet of 5 big brand T-shirts in the market. We styled them, measured, washed, stretched, wrinkled, tore, and categorized each one. Some shirts were tight at the arms, neck lines were not flattering, shoulder seams were off, lengths were too long, fabric bunched up when tucked in, etc. We gathered these observations and hand sketched a new V-Neck shirt per Shalice’s observations.
The Boyfriend tee fit is forgiving and flattering for everybody. Style it up and down, no matter the occasion. It is a perfect layering piece for early spring making you comfortable and chic. Wear it to work or the gym.
Our T-shirt is designed and made in the USA, supporting women owned businesses. We love supporting female founders and making something that is high quality for women and by women.
The shirt is stocked with sizes XXS thru XL. Make sure to subscribe to our newsletter for special discounts.

Atalie and I recently found aluminum and alcohol free deodorant from TARGET from DOVE! It is a fraction of the price we paid for another brand of clean deodorant. Atalie and Kate prefer the strawberry flavor. With 48 hours odor protection, it works! And my teens can stay fresh without the harsh chemicals.
Have you tried it?
