a-princess-wish

The one shopping mall store we collectively enjoy as a family would have to be The Disney Store. I guess it reminds us of the good times we had in Walt Disney World last year; it's great to visit when we need just a little magic added to our day. Our local store in Cherry Hill, New Jersey is the best store of it's kind we've visited. There's a little movie theatre and coloring table for the kids, a huge selection of Disney goods, and it smells ah-mazing in there. I love all of Disney's magical … [Read more...]

Philips SatinPerfect Epilator Review

Screen shot 2012-05-15 at 5.30.13 PM

Hair removal hurts.  Let's just face it. Any product that claims otherwise is lying, in my opinion.  I've done it all, all over, and it's all unpleasant.  I pick my battles with body hair, so to speak, though.  I regularly have my eyebrows waxed, for example, which hurts terribly but only for a short time. I shave anything below the neck that I want to rid myself of - but that is time consuming, frustrating and very unpleasant.  It comes back so quickly, frequently results in in-grown … [Read more...]

dove men

Don't tell him I told you, but my husband has used and continues to use some of my products. It seems like the beauty/skin care industry is starting to realize that men like taking care of their skin too. Take the new Dove® Men + Care® line, for example. Kevin received a trio of products and a shower tool: He loves that the clean defense body + face wash is a two-for-one. It's an oil balancing cleansing gel that removes daily buildup and helps to maintain skin balance. The … [Read more...]

Giveaway: Goody Ouchless Collection – for adults and kids!

January 18, 2012 By
logo-goody

My daughter has really long hair; she never lost the full head of hair she was born with as I was told would happen.  I'm quite jealous of the fast pace at which her shiny locks grow. Caring for her hair is another story.  For the longest time, I couldn't find a toddler-sized brush just for her.  When I finally found one, it was cheaply made and would rip her hair. Who needs that? Having been a long time user of goody products, especially their ouchless ones, I looked into whether they … [Read more...]

John Frieda Full Repair Flyaway Tamer – Review

Since having my son, I've noticed not only a great deal of hair loss but also significant breakage around the face; it could be him yanking on it, which he loves to do, or it could be just loss of strength and resilience due to the test of pregnancy and its affect on my body.  I frequently notice fly aways around my face nowadays.  I don't care to use hair spray on my hair, though, as I prefer it to move naturally and feel soft to the touch.  John Frieda sent over some lovely Full Repair … [Read more...]

You know when you're sitting around with old friends and you get to the time honored question of what you'd bring with you if you could choose your one possession on a deserted island?  My answer is always a lifetime supply of lip balm.  I literally would be driven to the point of insanity without some quality lip balm. Call it balm, call it chapstick, call it lip gloss - whatever it is, I'm down for it.  I'm a total germaphobe and I"ve actually used someone else's lip balm before - it was … [Read more...]

The Best Way to Clean Your Face: Clarisonic Mia

October 30, 2011 By 4 Comments
clarisonic-logo.jpg

Back in August, my girlfriend and I did a spa day together. It was a fun, relaxing day - except when it came time for the facial. It was my first ever, and I didn't expect the pain, but the end result was so worth it. My skin was so smooth and clear for weeks. During my consultation, the facial specialist basically told me that I need to do better when it comes to taking care of my skin, both by protecting it from sun damage, and through gentle exfoilation. I've never had severe acne or … [Read more...]

Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips – Our Results and a GIVEAWAY!

Cropped_2_Hour_Express_box1

Winner: Nicole E. Last week I posed the question: What would you whiten for? and I talked about our regrets over not whitening our teeth for our wedding. But as far as I'm concerned, it's always a good time to have whiter teeth. Why wouldn't anyone want that? One deterent for many people is the sheer cost. I know that's what it was for us. We'd tried some over-the-counter options in the past, but nothing seemed to work. Then we were intoduced to the new Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express … [Read more...]

Avon ANEW CLINICAL Advanced Dermabrasion System (Review & Giveaway)

August 27, 2011 By
Anew

Lindsay S is the winner! When I visit the spa or salon, I rarely treat myself to anything but a pedicure or a manicure. Massages on an occasional basis. And just a few weeks ago I got my very first facial as part of a spa day with one of my besties. It was extremely painful. Eye-watering painful. I was not blessed with the most perfect skin, and that extraction process was dreadful. My pores are very large and clog easily, and I was told by the specialist that there are some things I … [Read more...]
