For Beautiful Healthy Skin Check out the Benefits of Niacin!

2009-01-02T20:39:00Z

After feeling lousy for the last month I thought to myself, gee I wonder if the fact that my nutrition hasn’t been up to par and that I haven’t been exercising has something to do with this lack of energy?!? After pondering this I had to laugh at myself and think “boy, my genius scares me!” I thought, well I suppose I can research nutrition and put myself on a vitamin and mineral supplement. I also thought I’d start back on the popular new antioxidant “super-food” known as the ‘acai berry.’ A year...(read more)

Does dairy cause acne?

2009-01-02T19:14:00Z

I keep hearing about the link between diet and acne. For years experts have attempted to dispel the myths that greasy pizza and chocolate cause acne. I was always told that certain foods cannot trigger breakouts but somehow I had trouble believing that there was no link. I certainly think that a healthy diet does make for healthier skin. Recently I became particularly interested in the link between dairy and acne. Many experts believe that dairy triggers acne for several reasons. One reason is that...(read more)

Clarisonic for Radiant, Clarified Skin!

2008-12-30T19:54:00Z

I think the one thing we all can agree on is that Oprah knows her stuff! If you’re like me you love to hear about her “favorite things.” When she added the Clarisonic cleansing device to her favorites list I had to completely concur. Have any of you tried that? I’ve written about it before a few times but it deserves repeating. If you want the cleanest most radiant skin on the planet you need to use this product. And I’m not the only one who feels this way because dermatologists love it, as do many...(read more)

Lotions and Potions are Great but Concealer is Fabulous!

2008-12-29T18:10:00Z

I just discovered concealer! Seriously, I never really understood why every woman I know always has two or three concealors in their make-up drawer. I spent the night with some friends the other night because it was snowing up by my house and I didn't feel like driving in it. The next day I had no clothes or makeup other than what I had worn to their house earlier the day before. I had to put my contacts back in my eyes with her daughter's saline she bought to take care of a previously pierced...(read more)

StriVectin Neck Cream Works!

2008-12-27T04:48:00Z

I have finally found the best neck cream! I’ve been trying neck creams over the last decade but usually without much success in terms of significant change. I would say out of ten different products I’ve been happy with maybe two or three. However, now I can say I’m not only happy but ecstatic with my latest find. I have only recently started using StriVectin Neck Cream and already my neck appears firm and smooth. The skin itself is tighter and the skin tone looks much more even. I’ve always been...(read more)

Elemis…The Best in Anti-Ageing!

2008-12-18T20:30:00Z

Have you ever wondered if the products and brands sold by exclusive spas are any better than what we find daily at upscale department stores or online from cosmeceutical websites? I know I have. I have finally found an upscale spa brand that truly is worth the cost. Up until now I’ve always been a little leery of spa lines until I used one that uses excellence in formulation and quality ingredients rather than spending copious amounts of money in packaging and marketing. This time I’ve found a dream...(read more)

Natural SkinCare is a Win-Win!

2008-12-17T04:29:00Z

Natural Skincare As I’m sure you have noticed industry after industry has become environmentally aware and offer many products that are conscientious to our health, local environment, as well as the protection and preservation of this place we habitat called Earth. The recent boom in being “green” is not only favorable to our well-being but hugely popular as well. It should be no surprise that the multi-billion dollar beauty industry has followed suit. I’m surprised it took so long for us to take...(read more)

I'm dreaming of a fragrant xmas!

2008-12-16T17:38:00Z

One of the things that I love about the holiday season is all of the luxurious fragrances out there. I’m not sure if it’s the scents themselves that I like so much or all of the glamorous packaging and advertising that go along with the products. I have to admit that I’m a real sucker when it comes to a beautiful gift box! This year Calvin Klein has several gift sets that are absolutely gorgeous. These sets have a body lotion with the same scent as the fragrance. In some cases there’s a mini spray...(read more)

Yeah Baby! Baby Quasar Red that is!

2008-12-10T02:42:00Z

Well I found it. The present of my dreams. Now, the question is “who is going to buy it for me?” And would I really want somebody to spend over four hundred bucks on me? I realized quickly that of course I wouldn’t. So that meant only one thing. I had to buy it for myself. If you’re looking for the best gift ever for someone special (who loves gorgeous skin and skincare), this is one gift I think he or she will love. I know there are people out there who will spend that kind of money on a present...(read more)

Covers all skincare concerns?!?

2008-12-03T22:05:00Z

Has anyone tried DDF Mesojection Healthy Cell Serum ? I was attracted to it because of the name (I'm a marketing department's dream customer! ) so I checked into it. Then I read dozens of fabulous customer ratings about it and was very impressed. I decided to give it a try and I was even more impressed. This product by DDF Doctors Dermatologic Formula does exactly what it says it does. My skin has never been so soft and smooth. And the way it refines lines is absolutely amazing. One of the...(read more)

Bieux Skin BioNaturals gets an A+!

2008-12-02T19:20:00Z

Want an anti-aging skincare line that is paraben-free, silicone-free, fragrance-free, hypoallergenic, and cruelty-free? Have I ever found one for you! Not only does it boast the fore-mentioned attributes it is also great for all skin types including sun damaged skin, acne-prone, rosacea-prone and highly sensitive skin. I suppose it makes sense that it's a great line for sensitive skin considering its fragrance, silicone and paraben free. But the best part? It works and works well! I'm in...(read more)

Tip of the Season: Purchase Holiday Gift Sets for Yourself!

2008-12-01T17:23:00Z

One of my favorite things about Christmas time is getting my hands on all the holiday gift sets available. You get to try (touch, smell, feel, see how they work, etc.) a bunch of the brand's products at once, often get a gift with purchase, adorable packaging for bathroom counter or dresser display, and you get a significant savings to boot! Check out these treasures just to name a few! My pick for the man or woman who wants the best in anti-aging: MD Skincare Demand Results Kit My pick for the...(read more)

Cute Jeans at a Reasonable Price?!?

2008-11-26T18:30:00Z

I love the new jeans I wore out the other night by True Religion. The fit is called Joey Disco Big T . They fit like a glove! Problem is they don't belong to me. I borrowed my best friend's pair. I want a pair so badly but they are $262 bucks. How can I tell myself that's ok? I mean I’m sure they'd last forever but would I rather buy like three or four pairs that wouldn't fit like that or do I take the plunge and just get one pair that I feel pretty darn sassy in? Does anyone...(read more)

Take Neutrogena Along!

2008-11-25T20:06:00Z

I'm getting ready to fly to Utah for Thanksgiving and all of a sudden I realized how rough that cold weather is going to be on my dry skin. I decided to pack my little 3oz. airline friendly containers with the best in hydrating and moisturizing products I could think of. This time I chose everything within the same line. It's the best line for both my skin and my budget for travel during this holiday season. I chose Neutrogena brand as my official travel line! For about ten bucks I went with...(read more)
