I recently got to try out L'Oreal Youth Code, their new line of anti-aging skin products. Love. LOVE. This is anti-aging skin care for me. I'm in my early 30s, so I don't need really severe (and super expensive) products yet, but I certainly need to step things up a bit in the … [Read more...]
i swear by my: MoroccanOil Styling Cream
January 7, 2011
I never buy products at the salon. But the last time I got my hair cut, the stylist recommended MoroccanOil and I passed... I had already spent so much on my new cut, I didn't want to add to the bill. But several days later, I was back at the salon begging for the amazing product he had used on my … [Read more...]
And this is why I wear make-up…
January 6, 2011
In September, I received samples of Dr. Michelle Copeland's Skin Care line to review. I gave you my initial thoughts then, and having used up the products, I'll share with you my full product review now. They sent me products to help with acne, dark circles under my eyes, and general skin … [Read more...]

Every winter, my hands get painfully dry and cracked and ick. But I've discovered a few products that make the winter less painful! Mary Kay Satin Hands is fabulous.

jessica alba’s new look
December 23, 2010
Jessica Alba is one of my favorite celeb style icons - and she has a FABULOUS new 'do! This is almost the cut I have now, and I love it. Its short, sleek and modern, but still long enough to pull back on days when you just can manage to shower. (Not that this ever happens to me...) Keys to … [Read more...]
therapon skin care
December 20, 2010
When I was contacted by Therapon to try out their skin care products, I jumped at the chance. As I kiss my twenties (and early thirties) behind, I think I can quote Truvy when I say: "Time marches on and soon, you realize its marchin' across your face!" I've been feeling like I … [Read more...]
i swear by my: davines haircare products
December 15, 2010
I go to a pretty fancy salon to get my hair trimmed and highlighted. There are many things in life where knock-offs or going the "thrifty" route are musts. You can find great clothes and shoes at a discount and even with food, sometimes the store brand really isn't all that bad. There … [Read more...]
Product Review: TRESemmé Fresh Start Waterless Foam Shampoo
December 9, 2010
I try to work out regularly, but let's be honest. Sometimes it just doesn't happen. Some weeks I exercise every day, and some weeks I can't muster the energy to do a single crunch. But those weeks that I do exercise a lot, it's always a pain to wash, blow-dry, and straighten my hair daily - not … [Read more...]
