Product reviews for trendy Moms & Dads, their children & pregnant moms
Two of my favorite products are: Yes to Cucumbers Soothing Eye Gel and Yes to Cucumbers Face Wipes. I reviewed them both a few years ago and the wipes especially are something I still use regularly. (I just used them post Broad Street Run to soothe my sweaty face in the car - best feeling ever using one of their wipes post race!) The Yes To … [Read more...]
You know it must be good if my boys are stealing it out of my shower - which happened shortly after I got a sample of Dial's Coconut Body Wash ($4.99) in the mail. It's the smell. You guys have to check this out next time you're in your toiletries aisle at your local drugstore or grocery store. Not too overpowering at all, it's just a fresh, … [Read more...]
I was curious to check out L'Oreal's Revitalift Miracle Blur. I mistakenly had thought it was a primer - on reading more I see it's a mix of everything. Not a foundation, not a moisturizer or a primer. It's basically supposed to be a wrinkle softener - an additional product to hopefully work some miracles on your aging face! I've been using it … [Read more...]
Time is a precious commodity in my life these days. I'm hard pressed to find any time to beautify myself as I'm always running - to the bus stop, to a sports event, to school, to finish the laundry, to ____ {insert another task in the day of our crazy Mom lives}. Not even kidding you guys, I had to set aside time the other day to pluck my … [Read more...]
I'm a huge fan of LUSH Cosmetics and I always seem to come back to reviewing them time and time again. I just love their story - everything is handmade with all natural products that are not tested on animals. They happen to have a storefront at one of my local malls so I'm in there a lot just for the smells - amazing! I noticed they have some … [Read more...]
When I was a kid, I had the worst kind of chapped hands during the winter time. In particular, I remember my hands at their worst during my junior high school years when we lived on the north shore of Chicago. It would get bitterly cold and I remember the piercing pain of hands that cracked to the point of bleeding as I stood outside of school … [Read more...]
I love the golden glow of summer, but not the risk of skin cancer and wrinkles that can go along with it. So I'm always looking for the perfect self-tanner. One that has great color (a must), streak-free application (another must) and is stink-free (ideal, but not a deal breaker). Recently I had the chance to try a new brand that I heard had … [Read more...]
Last month, I wrote about Barely There - an intimates company (they make bras & undies!). Somehow I got lucky enough to become a Barely There Blogger - they've been sending me products monthly to test out but I'm not required to write about them. Still, a couple months in and I'm loving the products so I wanted to tell you about the latest - … [Read more...]
As I type this, I'm finishing up a 6-day trip to Mexico. For the first few days here, I couldn't find the shampoo & conditioner that I had packed. (It was tucked away in the suitcase.) I ended up using the hotel shampoo and conditioner. That, on top of the extra exposure to my hair has totally ruined my hair for the last few days. It's normally … [Read more...]
In the next six months, all sunscreen companies are required by the FDA to have new labels on their sunscreen bottles. Originally the change was set for June 6th; it's been delayed a few months but it's coming. Sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays will be labeled as "broad spectrum," which is what you want. Anything under … [Read more...]
