One of my FAVORITE things to do is put powder on after my shower. Not just any powder, but soft, silky and deliciously aromatic powder. My shower is not complete unless I "powder up". I know there's been a lot of worry over using talc powder, so I was so excited last year when I discovered … [Read more...]
Before You Go Gettin’ Your Tan On …
May 1, 2009
Y’all been out and bought your self-tanners yet? I’ve used several with varying degrees of success, and I still haven’t found one that I am 100% wild and crazy about, myself, as they tend to feel heavy and suffocating and I just can’t wait to get in the shower and get them OFF of me, thereby … [Read more...]
How to Choose a Sunscreen
April 29, 2009
I have a confession to make. I only began applying sunscreen daily within the last couple of years. I have olive skin, which means I tan without even trying. Burning has never been an issue for me. And, for years, I never gave sun damage a second thought. Until I turned 30 and looked in … [Read more...]
Red Wine…It’s Not Just For Drinking
April 7, 2009
After a long day at work, I enjoy coming home and relaxing with a glass of wine at dinner. But, I never thought to treat the outside of my body with red wine too. That is until I came across a Red Wine Body Scrub by Abrione. The Red Wine Scrub contains anti-oxidants from red wine … [Read more...]
Cuz Goats Have Good Skin Right?
March 27, 2009
In the winter my skin gets crazy, weird dry. I've tried extra-strength everything but either end up as greasy as a greased pig or it was so thick that half an hour later my clothes would stick to me. Then I came across what we affectionately call in our house the 'goat cream': Its Canus … [Read more...]
Shine On!
March 6, 2009
I have this love for hair products. I am a salon owner's dream come true. "Janel, you should try this..." Say no more, I'm sold. Really, I just can't seem to get enough of them and I tend to buy many that I end up not liking. But today, I'm talking about one that I love! One … [Read more...]
Crystals aren’t just for jewelry
March 5, 2009
Last week Moriah broached the subject of natural deodorant with a review of Arm & Hammer’s new Essentials line of natural deodorants. I'm glad to know I'm not the only person wondering about the chemicals that are in most deodorants and all antiperspirants and a potential link to cancer and … [Read more...]
Fueled By a Hate For Shaving
March 2, 2009
...comes my love for the Schick ® Intuition Plus ® razor. Here's what their plug is: The Schick ® Intuition Plus ® razor has three blades surrounded by a Skin Conditioning Solid. It lathers, shaves and provides extra moisture in one easy step for a close, smooth shave. Now, here' … [Read more...]
Somedays, my only reason for taking a shower is to smell this stuff.
February 26, 2009
I have a fondness for hot, sunny, tropical climates. With beaches. And crystal clear turquoise water. And a comfortable chair under an umbrella just inches from the waves of the clear turquoise water. Also, a kids activity club for me to drop my four kids off at, is great too. Mexico, … [Read more...]
