Lavender For Mother’s Day

 
I’m not a lavender fan, or at least I wasn’t. Suddenly however, lavender is having the best week ever in my house. I inadvertently purchased laundry detergent and hand wash that had lavender in it and now I am hooked. It smells so good. I don’t know what I was smelling before, but this is heavenly. […]

Luscious Giveaway

 
 We are offering a wonderful giveaway courtesy of the folks at BeeCeuticals. They have just extended their selection of Bee-yond Lip Balm with a few new flavors. I’m quite fond of the Original and Peppermint but the new flavors (Blueberry, Peach and Raspberry) are quite enticing as well. I have a set each for three lucky […]

Call Me Cookie

Over the weekend I unfortunately found myself at the mall. I hate the mall, especially on the weekend. Luckily I remembered that I had a gift certificate that was burning a hole in my hand. Two guesses where I went with it…obviously Sephora. My latest object of affection is Carol’s Daughter. Carol’s Daughter is like […]

Blowing Through The Jasmine In My Mind

Whenever the weather starts to heat up I like to switch out my normal body lotion for something lighter like an oil. For years I used to use Johnson’s Baby Oil. I just loved the way it smelled but after a while I needed something a little more mature. I mean since mentally I’m stuck at […]

Color Treated Hair Rescue

 Some of us are slaves to hair treatments, myself included. The trick is to extend your hair color and keep your hair healthy. I don’t color my hair anymore but I did try Rene Furterer’s Okara Restructuring Mask  for color treated hair and it was wonderful. I thought, “what could it possibly do for me […]

Green Tea Skin Firming Mask

This was up on Planet Green the other day about how to make a skin firming mask. It has never even occurred to me to use anything other than water when making a clay mask. Green tea? What a fantastic idea. This opens up a whole new world of fresh options for face-saving masks. I just […]

Heal the World

This Earth Day I thought it would be nice to offer up a few ways we can give back to the environment in ways that are easy to integrate into our daily routine. I talk a lot here about buying this and that here but really consuming less should be something we all strive for. […]

Lip Balm Bonanza

In response to a recent request to give a little “best of” lip balm, lipstick edition. I sort of touched on the topic a while ago but I now have more to add to the list and thought we could just get it all out at once. Then maybe I will stop talking about it? […]

Homemade Cuticle Softener

Since I quit my 9-5 a few months ago I’ve had a hard time staying on top of certain things. I mean my nails and hair had to look at least marginally presentable when I was in the office but at home the expectations are obviously not the same. I’m lucky if I actually shower every […]
