Burt’s Bees Sensitive Skin Care Solutions
November 3, 2011
I have very temperamental skin. Some days it behaves. And other days, I'll slap on some moisturizer and it goes into full revolt. Dry, itchy, blotchy. Sometimes even a full-on breakout. I'm constantly switching facial cleansers and moisturizing creams in a never-ending attempt to find one that … [Read more...]
Healing Your Dry Skin with Eucerine Cream
November 2, 2011
When I was a little kid, I developed eczema. After a visit to the pediatrician procured a prescription, we ended up with Eucerin Cream in our medicine cabinet. It took my eczema away, and fast. These days, Eucerine Cream is available without a prescription, but it's still just as effective. … [Read more...]

November 1, 2011
I've been a long time fan of gel manicures. Frankly, I don't even bother with regular manicures anymore. They barely last until I get home from the nail salon!

Scents of the Season
October 25, 2011
This time of year is all about hunkering down with your loved ones, sipping on hot apple cider and carving pumpkins. Fall has a smell too, something crisp and distinct. Something sweet and homey--like cinnamon, firewood, and fallen leaves. And though we can't bottle that delicious, nostalgic scent … [Read more...]
Hard as Nails
October 19, 2011
One thing busy moms can’t handle is the constant stress and drama of maintaining a chip-free manicure. If you even have the time to escape the house to get your nails done, the entire drying process seems to take too long. Grocery lists, the kids’ practice pick-ups, and your husband’s needs rattle … [Read more...]

Facial hair. Not something we ladies like to talk about. (In public, anyway.) But its an issue for probably 99% of us - and when something like Olay Smooth Finish Facial Hair Removal Duo comes along, we need to get over our embarrassment and share. This is brilliant, girls.
