Dust a Little On

I came across a great alternative to your standard baby powder from Farmaesthetics. Their High Cotton Body Dust is fantastic. I actually don’t use powder on the kiddo, it’s for me during this awful heat. I dust it on my hot spots…that sounds bad. I mean like my underarms and under the girls. Anyway if […]

You Could Fry An Egg

It’s just been hotter than Hades here in my neck of the woods and I have been contemplating turning my home into a water park. Maybe some slides and wading pools so we can sorts swim from one room to another in an inner tube. Then there’s the whole ruin everything you own, destroy the […]

Soap For Your Teeth

Tooth chips. I came across some today on Etsy and my first impulse was um yeah, no thanks. Then I read more about it and I’m wondering if maybe it just that it’s so foreign because it’s not what we’re used to. Could I get used to tooth chips? I’m thinking it would be a […]

Homemade Masks

 
Check out this article over at Planet Green for some great recipes for home masks. Homemade masks are so easy to make and are cheaper and greener. I have made masks by just throwing stuff I have in the fridge into a bowl and mashing it all up. Can you get any easier than that? […]

Crushworthy

 
I am so all about body scrubs especially ones with brown sugar. This one from Nature Girl looks so incredible I think I might eat it if it was in my shower. I used to have a sugar scrub WAY back in like the 90’s that I was obsessed with. I couldn’t possibly tell you the […]

Bar Soap a Go-Go

Here’s a great article over at Planet Green about what to look for in soaps and why it pays to make your own soap. It’s no secret that I loves me some soaps. Etsy, The Bubble Roome, LUSH, etc., it just makes me v. happy. I just simply don’t have the time or energy to […]

Good On Salads Too

Not to beat a dead horse but it’s like really hot here. I’ve been filling up the fridge with cucumbers and juicy fruit to keep us hydrated. I know cucumbers are good but I wanted to find a recipe for a cleanser or mask. I found this one and it looks delish. I almost want to […]

Cool and Refreshing

So I don’t do the sun. I would rather be cold than hot any day; I’m just over it. I enjoy nice weather but not actually being in the sun for more than 10 minutes at a time. I’m trying not to ruin my family’s fun this Summer with my attitude so I’m eyeing Farmaesthetics […]

Where It’s At: Two Turntables and Some Bubble Bath

One of my favorite places to shop when I’m flush (so like once a year) is Anthropologie. It has a very Paris flea market feel. A really overpriced, touristy Paris flea market for yuppies perhaps. Nonetheless you can find lots of little trinkets and cool bath and beauty products. I first discovered Korres there and have […]

Clean Again Naturally

 
Since today is Father’s Day I thought I would talk about a “natural” products geared towards men. It must smell like grass or beer or something. The hubs has beautiful hair that he refuses to put product in, so I have to be careful to not offend his senses when trying out a new shampoo on him. […]
