A Little Love For Your Dry Skin: Carol’s Daughter Love Butter

I can’t imagine anyone out there isn’t suffering from a little bit of dry skin right now. The end of the winter can be especially brutal. My skin can’t seem to stay moisturized without frequent applications of lotions and creams. An especially rich option I checked out recently is Carol’s Daughter’s Love Butter. The cheeky [...]

Burt’s Bees Tingling Treats are the Bee’s Knees!

Before you get too far into this review, I should disclaim that I’m a big fan of Burt’s Bees. From their position on using recycled materials, to the natural (and paraben-free) ingredients, to the widespread availability of the products (not too many natural and paraben-free lines can be found at your local drugstore), and the [...]

Glowing for Glowology

Ladies: you know how it is when you wear something super-soft (silk, satin, faux fur, etc.), right? You’re constantly touching the fabric and enjoying the softness – like we did with lucky rabbits’ feet as kids (I know that’s terribly un-p.c. now…). Anyway, I recently had that experience with Glowology Hydrating Hand Wash and Nourishing [...]

More Affordable Natural Products: Jergens Natural Moisturizers

Drugstore brands have been jumping on the natural and botanical bandwagon lately. But it can be tough to tell how natural their products really are, since using the tern “natural” isn’t regulated like organic certifications are. So I was happy to see that Jergen’s line of Natural Moisturizers tells you, right on the bottle, the [...]

An Uncommon Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Aromatherapy Distillations

A while back, I reviewed some of Crabtree & Evelyn’s Purifying Aromatherapy Collection.  I recently tried the Skin Conditioning Body Wash and Conditioning Body Lotion from the Revitalizing Collection.  Where the Purifying collection was based on the scents of eucalyptus and lime, the Revitalizing Collection is based on lemon and coriander. 
The body wash is meant [...]

Miracle In A Bottle? The Solution

With a 5 month old baby and a full time job, I am a big fan of multi-tasking products.  I don’t want to skimp on my beauty routine, but the more time I can save on getting ready in the morning, the more time I have to manage my busy life.  A couple of months [...]

Need A Last Minute Gift For Your Mother-in-Law? Pick Up Burt’s Bees Radiance or Mint Medley Gift Set

Just when you thought you were done with the holidays and you didn’t need to buy anymore gifts, inevitably something comes up.  Unexpected out of town guests?  A post holiday brunch with your boyfriends family?  And then you need to bring a gift.  As hard as most women are to buy for, a gift set [...]

Product Review: T’Fivve Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream

You may have read some of my previous reviews of the products in T’Fivve’s line of anti-agers for those with sensitive skin.  Here’s one more that my mom has been raving about.  The Daytime Undermakeup Moisture Cream is similar to the other products, she’s been using from the line.  She found it to be non-irritating [...]

Product Review: T’Fivve Anti-aging Skin Revitalizing Complex for Day and Night

There were some products in the T’Fivve line that I was able to try – and really liked: the Moisturizing Body Smoother, Anti-Aging Moisturizing Hand Treatment and the Anti-Aging Eye Repair Serum.  But the facial products are aimed at those with dry skin and I was worried they might agrevate my acne, so I asked [...]
