Bubble, Bubble Toil and…Soap

Remember we talked about the great soaps and scrubs from The Bubble Roome? Well guess what kids, they’re back…finally. I thought I was gonna die and junk. I want pretty soap and I want it now. Kidding not really. It was worth the wait however because since I signed up for the newsletter while they […]

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 […]

I Feel Pretty. Oh So…Yeah Whatever

I don’t really wear make up that often. Why? Well, in part for the same reason I don’t wear dresses. I would feel like a drag queen. Seriously, I feel like people are looking at me like, “Look at that little boy wearing makeup”. Illogical? Yes. Some issues from my adolecense that I need to work through? […]

Wednesday: Questions and Answers

 
This week’s question comes from Mary who is a teacher and wants to know the very best way to soften and moisturize your feet. As a former gymnast and coffee house serf, I am keenly aware of how important it is to care for your feet. I am also vain. I mean just when it […]

Giveaway Time: BeeCeuticals Gift Pack

 
I recently had the opportunity to try out the BeeCeuticals Organics skincare line. I had never heard of it until one of my lovely readers recommended it. I have to tell you that I am hooked. Their Bee-yond Lip Balm is truly emollient and not waxy. Most chapstick like products have this weird taste and they don’t last […]

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 […]

Homemade Skin Cleansers from Whole Foods

Whole Foods Market (referred to in our home as whole paycheck) has some great skin cleanser recipes on their website. Most of it is stuff you probably have sitting around and would not have to make a special trip to go buy. I can’t resist homemade remedies. They are just too easy and you can do so […]

Jinx: You Owe Me a Coke

Check out this article on Planet Green about how to have great looking skin the natural way. Sounds very similar to what someone else I know said a while ago…hint, hint. Nothing I said was revolutionary or new, it’s information that is readily available but people just choose to ignore it. Maybe if it comes from […]

Today on PlanetGreen there’s a great recipe for a firming face mask using egg whites and cornstarch. There’s also tips on what you can do with the leftovers. You can also use the yolk as an acne treatment. Just whip the yolk for a few minutes and then apply to skin. Leave on for 20 minutes […]
