Etsy Fun

I know it’s a little like beating a dead horse by now but boy do I love Etsy. I wanted to share with you some of the stuff I’m craving…today. I know consumption, must.resist. These look like such a great idea for exfoliating. I used to use those disposable one-use facial cloths but I finally realized […]

You Could Fry An Egg

Today it was so incredibly hot and humid that I was almost delirious. No seriously. Yesterday it was Spring. Today suddenly we are on the brink of the apocalypse. The heat index stopped trying; it just said, “Damn it’s hot”. In one of my very rare moments of forethought, I bought a watermelon the other day. […]

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 […]

Green Tea Skin Firming Mask

This was up on Planet Green the other day about how to make a skin firming mask. It has never even occurred to me to use anything other than water when making a clay mask. Green tea? What a fantastic idea. This opens up a whole new world of fresh options for face-saving masks. I just […]

Pucker Up

 
I’m back again, purveyor of all things emollient for one’s lips. What if I told you I have found a certified organic lip balm in delicious flavors like Chai Mandarin and Lavender Vanilla. Interested? Well what if I told you it was paraben and toxin free and comes in the absolute cutest little vintage inspired tin? […]

Skin Food

I know this sounds like a broken record but I have sensitive skin. My poor son has really sensitive skin. I think that combined with excessive drooling from teething (these molars may kill me yet) has given him these sad little dry patches on his cheeks and chin. I picked up a tube of Weleda […]

Get the Red Out

To say that I am tired would be an understatement. The past few days I have woken to swollen, bloodshot eyes. I’m a mom with a busy life but you know do I have to look like it? I see women all over the place and they don’t look like this. They must have nannies […]

Come With Me to Strawberryland

At long last I have returned. I am finally, FINALLY in my new house after the longest, most painful move ever. Fortunately the Big Man and I managed to not kill each other and the Bug was surprisingly cooperative. Besides getting a little teary eyed during one of those full circle life moments as we […]

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 […]
