When it comes to my 30-something, curly hair, I have two constant problems: whacked-out frizz and gray hair--no doubt from being a mom. To cover the "kid spots," I've been using hair dye for years. As for the frizz, which is a persistent problem with the ridiculous Midwestern humidity and the natural nature of my locks, I'm constantly on the search for great frizz control that won't weigh down my hair or damage my color-treated curls. When I heard about Shielo Antioxidant Leave in Protectant for heat styling and frizz control, I had to give it a try. If anyone's hair could benefit from some … [Read more...]

If you're like me, you love, love, love makeup, but don’t always have the extra cash to buy some of the pricier brands. In some cases, I recommend splurging on more expensive makeup items every once in a while, because not all brands are created equally and with some types of makeup, you get what you pay for.

That being said, I'm always a fan of trying new things, especially if it means that I might hit on a great deal that will keep a little extra change in my coin purse. … [Read more...]

Wellness Wednesday: Keri Luxurious Lotion Review and Giveaway – Now Closed

Keri bottle

With autumn in the air, I'm afraid we'll be turning the heater on within a few days. While I love the coziness and warmth of the cold winter months, the dryness from having the heat constantly running leaves my skin 10 shades of itchy and uncomfortable. Having a great lotion makes all the difference in the world during the cold months, especially when I amp up my moisturizing routine before it starts to dry out and chap. With my slightly sensitive skin, I have a hard time finding a scented lotion that I can use frequently throughout the day. That's why, when I got the chance to review … [Read more...]

Fall is drawing near, but Schick is keeping the fun colors and patterns of summer alive with their Limited Edition Intuition Razors.

Yeah, you read that right. No slippery, messy soaps or shaving creams. Besides the cool all-in-one shaving action, the razor actually uses four blades on a pivoting head to get a precise, close, complete shave.
