Review: Vichy NORMADERM Night & PRO MAT moisturizers

July 22, 2009

Several weeks ago, I attended an event where I learned about all things Vichy. I had heard of Vichy in the various skincare circles I make myself twirl around in on a frequent basis because I’m such a hound for knowledge.

Best of Summer: Body Luminizers

It’s not just for the stars with stylists, we [...]

Mrs. Meyers Clean Home makes dirty work easier!

April 28, 2009

Spring cleaning. Ugh. It’s that time! It is so hard on my hands, even when I wear gloves. I say that because after about 10 minutes the gloves come off. I can’t clean effectively with gloves on, come on! Especially not the kind of clean that is worthy of being called Spring cleaning, and the [...]

Review: Yes To Carrots Hand and Elbow Cream & Pampering Hand and Nail Spa

March 10, 2009

Last week, I admitted I have been slacking off in the exfoliation department and I’ve been using REN body care products since. Now I’ve got body care covered, but what about hand care? I have forgotten how much my hands take a beating and I rarely show them any love unless I’m in the nail [...]
