The Incredible Edible Egg

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 […]

Juicy Lips

When I was home for Christmas I picked up Juice Beauty’s SPF 15 Tinted Lip Moisturizers at my favorite Sephora on Third Street Promenade. It’s a three piece set which ensures that there will be one in there that’s the perfect shade for you. I obviously consider myself a lip balm aficionado. I wonder if there’s […]

Are We Done Yet?

 In my family the Holidays begin the first of November and extend well into February. Thanksgiving, Christmas and a seemingly endless line of birthdays mean that we are so not done with gift giving. Which just makes me want to cry, but anyway. So I came up with a great idea for a gift and I […]

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 […]

Not your Average Cup of Joe

I came across this recipe for a homemade coffee scrub and I just had to share. I used to never drink coffee but now I can’t make it through the day without at least one cup. This is a good way to recycle the grounds. It is a little messy but well worth the effort […]

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, […]

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

 
I consider myself an expert on packing for travel. I have it down to a science at this point. That is why it is so shocking that I made it all the way home for Christmas and forgot my soap. I blame it on mommy brain. The hubby’s stuff; all there. All the endless baby crap, check. […]

Handmade Delights

 
If you are still on the hunt for last minute gifts, check out Etsy. For yourself that is, because they are not likely to arrive in time for Christmas…slacker. They only sell handmade goods. It’s the perfect place for someone such as myself who doesn’t want to contribute to the consumerism trend, but well I […]

What Happens in Kiehl’s, Stays in Kiehl’s

I’m back with another lip balm rave. What again? Yes, again. If there is anything you need to know about me is that I am all about the lip balm and hand lotion. Seriously, it borders on the obsessive compulsive. I literally go nowhere without these two items. The feeling of dry lips or hands […]

Start With a Clean Slate

Sephora is like Disneyland to people like me. There are few things that make me as happy as beauty products and shoes. I once drove over an hour through Christmas shopping traffic hell in order to visit one of their stores. If you order online, you are given a choice of sample products that they will throw in […]
