Global Warming, Not Funny or Cute in Any Way

Yesterday I spent the majority of the day outside with my child and it was like 60 degrees all day. Maybe higher. People, listen up: THE EARTH IS DYING! Stop using so much energy and fuel. Plant trees. Recycle. I was looking at my kid and picturing him 20 years old with a gas mask […]

Safe For Kids and Sensitive Adults, Too!

When my son was about 9 months old, he got what the doctors called an “angry rash.” It was a virus of some sort, I’m sure, all over his body and for the next few months it came and went. After which everything gave him a skin irritation, sort of permanently. Don’t look at him […]

Tested On Actresses, Not Animals

Boasts the bottles of Hamadi natural Hair Care products. This begs the question, “what’s the difference?” Har har. Actresses are very civilized, come on. Stop it.

The Supernatural

Here’s something new by Philosophy: The Supernatural.

I love the application, it’s sort of a velour puff that fits over the outside, but they are replaceable for $3 if they get too skeevy. I have never seen an applicator like this. It’s almost a perfect conception. You just rub it all around your face while you […]

Naturally Affordable

Cheryl asks:
Can you tell us about, “products in all price ranges as some of us cannot aford $50 for a cleanser or cream no matter how good and “natural” it is.
Cheryl, yes, I certainly can.
One line that is amazing, has incredible integrity is well priced, high quality and is on the cutting edge of the […]

Worthy Natural Skin Care

Hi Kim,
I’d love to see some info on good, simple, basic skin care (besides the “drink lots of water/use sunscreen” thing, which I already do). I’m in my mid-30’s and my skin has changed drastically in the last few years, as will happen. My tried and true products don’t work the same as they used […]
