When she doesn’t have her three kids in tow, you’ll find her wandering the aisles of her local CVS, enjoying a little peace and quiet, while feeding a growing … [Read more...]
Crest White Strips
April 21, 2008
Someone asked if we would review teeth whiteners here on Chic Critique. I don't have extensive experience with them, but I have done a few boxes of Crest Whitestrips over the past few years, and I can attest that they do work. Now, granted, I don't have horribly stained teeth (although … [Read more...]
Burt’s Bees Body Wash: It Bees Purty Good
April 18, 2008
Got me some skin issues. The older I get, the harder it is for me to find soap or body wash that doesn't dry me up, break me out, cause me to get all itchy, or all three. And unfortunately, my 3-year-old has inherited this problem from me, and it's manifesting itself pretty early, … [Read more...]

A Plucky Post About Tweezers
April 16, 2008
Now, who knew that you needed to spend $20 to get a good pair of tweezers? Have you ever noticed that all my posts are about me telling you to spend too much money on products? Why is that, do you think? Could it be because I am the world's biggest beauty snob and I have poor spending … [Read more...]
Got Feet as Tough as Shoe Leather? Tell 'Em to Buzz Off.
April 10, 2008
In my post last week, I advised y'all on busting the winter crust by exfoliating regularly with a Buf Puf ® and some good ol' St. Ives ® Apricot Scrub. And those two handy-dandy and inexpensive products'll get you soft from head to, well, ankle. I'm afraid if you're anything like m … [Read more...]

I smell a rat. And the wind is coming from your direction.
April 9, 2008
I would like a signature scent. Not one that says, "I just ate a Grape Now-n-Later," but a signature PERFUME. My mother-in-law always wears Opium, which is really a problem. We try to drag her out of those Opium dens so easily found in Michigan's suburbs and get her into rehab...no, no. … [Read more...]
Ojon Hair
April 6, 2008
In my twenties, I had gorgeous long hair. It was shiny and silky and smooth. It has never been thick or remarkable in any way, but it's always been pretty enough to not have to think much about it. (Does that make any sense? It did to me.) Then last fall something … [Read more...]
