So Fresh You May Want To Eat It

Not to beat a dead horse but I went to LUSH again over the weekend. Yes again… it was Mother’s Day. Don’t look at me like that. You will understand when I tell you that they have these amazing fresh face masks on ice in the store and you can’t get them online. I’ll paint […]

A Rosacea by Any Other Name

First off, if you don’t know, rosacea doesn’t mean you have rosy cheeks. It doesn’t mean that you’re some jolly Santa Claus or that you’re blessed with natural rouge.
In short, it sucks.
It comes, not in a light dusting on the apples of your cheeks, but in blotches that unevenly stretch across your face. Not to mention […]

Shiny Hair Without Cruelty

I recently came across Beauty Without Cruelty’s Moisture Plus Shampoo and so far so good. I really like it. I’m a shampoo hopper by nature. I just can’t stick to one brand exclusively. Even if I find one that works, I feel antsy after a couple of months. So I will be using this for […]

Wake Up Call

I’m back readers from my girly weekend in New York City and the results are in. Drinking and eating too much on very little sleep makes me look like crap. I am in serious need of detox. SERIOUS. I haven’t had that much to drink since maybe college. It was ugly. I never made it […]

The Organic Pharmacy

Upon recommendation from a reader I checked out The Organic Pharmacy the other day. They carry a wide range of Organic and Homeopathic skincare. Why are all the cool stores not in the U.S? Lucky for us they have an online store. The first thing that caught my eye was Cleopatra’s Milk Bath. Milk, rose […]

Shiny, Happy Hair

I’m the kind of person that doesn’t take chances with her hair. I recently cut my hair for the first time in…I don’t remember how long. Picture me with the same style (or lack of) I’ve had since high school. Now picture me with a very fetching “Thoroughly Modern Millie” for the millennium bob. It was […]

Inner Peace is Beautiful

With the sad and untimely deaths of Brad Renfro and Heath Ledger, it has really hit home to me the need to take better care of myself. I obviously didn’t know them personally but I just find it really sad and a waste of the precious gift that life is. I think it’s too easy […]

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 […]

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, […]

Just Breathe

“If it weren’t for bad luck, we’d have no luck at all.”  This pretty much sums up my life. If something can go wrong, it will and it will happen to my husband and I. Today is a perfect example. This has been a long week of illnesses and job stress and it’s only Tuesday. […]
