There Ain’t No Bugs On Me

In response to a request for bug repellents I did a little research. It required some imagination since it’s still pretty chilly here and there are obviously no mosquitoes out. Okay not even chilly. Just cold. But anyhoo, I did test some things out though to see if they were irritating on my skin. My top […]

Smashing the Competition

 
Smashbox is the latest big name in the cosmetics industry to hop on the green (whatever that means) bandwagon with their new Green Room Collection. All of the packaging is biodegradable or recyclable and the makeup itself is made using environmentally friendly formulas. Exactly which environmentally friendly ingredients do they contain? Well I was unable to find […]

See Ya Later Alligator

I’m sick…again. This must be the Universe’s payback for being an insanely healthy child. My nose has been alternately running like a faucet or clogged like the kitchen sink after my husband does the dishes. Anyway my point is that my nose is all sore and more sensitive than normal, if that’s possible. Thank the heavens that I […]

Bare Naked Beauty

 
As I’ve said before, I get territorial about my new finds. I will selectively withhold information from people who I deem unworthy. No use throwing my pearls to the swine. In this case I have decided that my find was just too fantastic to keep to myself. In all of my benevolence I have decided […]

Space.NK: Apothecary

 
I have been hearing so much buzz that last couple of weeks about this store, I finally decided to check out their website. They just opened their flagship store in Manhattan last year but they have been all over the United Kingdom since 1993. Just based on their online offerings I can’t wait until more brick and […]

Snakes on a Plane

It may just be my personality, but I hate it when something becomes so trendy that everyone has it. If I happen to discover something that I love, I get annoyed when the word spreads. Hmm…maybe I shouldn’t be telling you about this then. Okay, I will tell you but then I will have to […]

Spa Day Anyone?

Next month I am going to NYC to get into lots of trouble with my girls as a belated birthday present. We are going to eat, shop and completely indulge. In my attempt to “party like it’s 1999″, I will probably end up just drinking too much and fall asleep at 9:30. Sidebar: Have you ever […]

Pass the Dutchie

There’s kind of a stigma that comes with saying that you try to live in an earth friendly manner. To a certain segment of the population, all that means is that you don’t eat meat or wash your hair, wear lots of tie-dye and eat tofu. While I do actually like tofu and was a vegetarian for several years, […]

Break-Out Protection To Go

Boscia’s Willow Bark breakout treatment has been a life saver this week. I breakout at the drop of a dime. Stress, here come the blackheads. Not enough sleep, I look like I’m 13. So I made sure to pack it this week for our Christmas adventures. Oh and to follow up on our conversation from the other […]

Leaving On a Jet Plane

The family and I are on our way to the left coast to Merry, Merry with my extended family. We will have to take bets as to which is more painful, 13 hours in a car with a toddler or 3 hours on a plane with a toddler. Anyway you slice it, I’m thinking it’s […]
