Exuviance Introductory Collection

Having a baby can mean changes in your skin (even if that baby is almost two years old!).  I whined about this in a previous post and my dry skin continues to be a problem.  I live in the South, so showering twice a day is pretty much a given.  After my evening shower, my face is usually so dry on my cheeks and forehead, I fear my face will crack at any time.  Tired … [Read more...]

Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion Review

Dry skin is annoying and irritating.  We all expect some level of dry skin during the winter months and probably have various bottles of lotion throughout our homes.  Our expectation is that if we apply lotion on a regular basis, the dryness disappears and our skin becomes smooth and rejuvenated.  But what if applying the lotion doesn't work or actually … [Read more...]

Daughter Removed From Botox Mom’s Custody

I'm all for someone receiving Botox injections.  In fact, I've received my fair share of them.  Give me 24 units of Botox for my birthday or Mother's Day and I'm a happy girl.   But giving them to your 8-year old daughter?!  I try not to judge others as I haven't walked in their shoes but in cases like this were common sense is no where to be … [Read more...]

Exuviance Rejuvenating Treatment Masque Review

Food For Thought Friday – Organic on the Cheap

Like many of you, I want to feed my daughter the fruits and vegetables with the least amount of exposure to pesticides as possible.  However I've found that its not always economically realistic to do this.  Buying organic produce can add 20-40% to your bill depending on the item you buy, whether its in season, etc.  Even living in the South, I … [Read more...]

IS Clinical White Lightening

Wow, was I excited at the opportunity review this product!  You see, I'm what they consider aSkin Type IV, which means I can't use many of the cosmetic lasers out there for fear of hyperpigmentation, scarring and other bad outcomes!  Since I have hyperpigmentation from my years of not wearing sunscreen, I'm now paying the price.  Yes, someone who has always had … [Read more...]
