Skin Smoothie samples were provided for consideration. All opinions are most definitely my own. I’m not sure whether it’s my age, the change in seasons, or a combination of both, but lately, I’ve been getting dead skin that just won’t slough off. Usually, with a cleanser and a facial scrub, my skin is soft and good to go. Not so much lately. And that’s just not cute. ...
Yves Rocher Men Fresh Overview
Yves Rocher Men Fresh was provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. Why is it that ladies seem to have a ridiculously involved skin care regimen, while the men in our lives get away with washing their hair and shaving? What’s up with that? Yves Rocher wants to help the guys out. To that extent, they’ve created the Yves Rocher Men Fresh line of skin care and grooming ...
CVS Beauty Products vs Their Name Brand Counterparts
We received several CVS beauty products to test out. All opinions are our own. I kind of love beauty products. Well, I’ll admit it, there’s no kind of about it. I love beauty products. High end vs Department Store vs Drug Store vs Store Brand. How do you decide? CVS Pharmacy has released their own version of select top sellers from their stores. The good folks at CVS Pharmacy stores ...

May 2013 Birchbox Overview
May 2013 Birchbox was purchased by me. I have no special affiliation with Birchbox. May’s Birchbox theme was “Beauty Diaries.” I guess it was supposed to be along the lines of sharing secrets and great products you love, or something, but it fell short. Really short. Dare I say, I seriously considered cancelling after receiving May’s box. And yeah, I know it’s June, and most people ...

The Benefits of Wine in Skincare
Benefits of Wine was inspired by Vine Vera. I received press samples to facilitate the post. All opinions are my own. In recent years, scientists have discovered that there are many benefits of wine. Yep, wine is actually good for us, in moderation of course. It promotes heart health, reduces the risk of diabetes, cuts the risk of stroke and colon cancer, and so much ...
All Natural Skincare with Primavera
The skin is our largest organ. I think that we sometimes forget that whatever we put on our skin is absorbed into our bodies. I know that I am most definitely guilty of ignoring that. The average woman uses 15 or more products a day on her face. Shouldn’t we pay more attention to the ingredients in those products? Primavera thinks we should. They are dedicated to producing natural ...
