Oh It’s Magic You Know

I spent many thankless years working as a Barista. I can make the perfect cappuccino with the most luscious foam. I can break down and clean an espresso machine in 8 minutes flat. Cafe Mochas put me through college. One night, I managed to zone out while cleaning the espresso machine. Big no no. Before I […]

Make Lemonade Out of Lemons

During the spring and summer months, regular pedicures are a must. You can get them done professionally or you can do them yourself but you just can’t leave the house in sandals without one.

So I started experimenting and came up with this fantastic scrub to slough off some dead skin. Throw some raw almonds in the food processor […]

Truthiness in Advertising

I grew up in Southern California, so all of my experience with cold climates comes straight out of Hollywood. Picturesque snow covered streets. People walking merrily through those snow covered streets with a thin scarf and maybe some gloves. So imagine my utter shock when I actually moved to a place where it’s cold and most […]

Calling Carol’s Daughter.

Gosh, how I have totally fallen for Carol’s Daughter this past year. Just look at what I have gushed about:
Almond Cookie scented products
Gift Sets
Browning Oil
Candy Paint Lip Gloss

I need to tell you a bit more about the lip gloss. I recently picked up two of these, one in Park Avenue Pink and one in […]

Scrub Away Dead Summer Skin.

I don’t know about you, but I have some left over icky dry skin trying to slough itself away. And it needs some major help.
While I love scrubs of all kinds, my favorite scrubs have to be sugar scrubs. And when I went into my beauty closet, there was not a single sugar scrub to […]
