I was visiting a friend in the NYC area recently, and we decided to go to a Brooklyn craft fair. There was a ton of great stuff, but I got really excited when I saw a natural beauty product booth. The pretty lady making the goodies was named Nordea and she gave me some samples to try. I tried little… View Post
Aromafloria Double Action Foot Scrub Review
Even though I’ve given many pedicures throughout my career, when it comes to taking care of my own feet, I prefer to do it myself. Sure, it’s not quite as relaxing as having someone else pamper me, but paying for something I can do myself just seems a little wasteful. I’m always trying new products to see what gives the… View Post
A Wild Soap Bar
I love finding small businesses that sell GREAT products, and I could keep this secret all to myself, but luckily I don’t think they’re going to run out of soap anytime soon, so I’ll share with you! The secret is a small family business from Texas called A Wild Soap Bar. They make and sell completely natural soaps – for… View Post
Sircuit Skin Immaculate Mist Review
After loving the last Sircuit Skin product I tried, I thought I’d try another designed for acne-prone, oily skin, Sircuit Skin Immaculate Mist. It’s what they call a “moisturizing mist.” But to me, it felt much more like a toner (though not as drying). Yes, it feels good to apply it on a hot day, but it didn’t give me… View Post
Eye Tea by Tracy Stern SALONTEA Review
My best girlfriend and I tried out Tracy Stern SALONTEA Eye Tea bags. Basically, these are large tea bags filled with organic chamomile, angelica root and witch hazel. They are designed to soothe tired eyes and reduce swelling. As my friend and I had recently over-imbibed in some, shall we say… adult beverages…and were both suffering from seasonal allergies, we… View Post
Jane Iredale Dream Tint and Zap & Hide Concealer Review
I’ve just found a great way to shave some time off my morning routine. The perfect combination for my oily, acne-prone skin: Jane Iredale’s Dream Tint and Zap & Hide Concealer. Dream Tint is a tinted moisturizer, but it doesn’t feel like any tinted moisturizer I’ve used before. It smooths on easily like others, but instead of sitting on the… View Post
Product Review – Rose Monsoon Hydrating Mist by Miessence
I recently found this Australian company called Miessence that I’m pretty excited about. They seem to be one of the few brands that is totally committed to healthy cosmetics – and ladies and gentleman, they do their homework! The Miesscence (prounounced “my essence”) products are either USDA Certified Organic or Australian Certified Organic. There are a lot of companies who… View Post
Product Review – REN Conditioning Eye Makeup Remover
I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve had the hardest time finding an eye makeup remover that I like. I’ve tried all the drugstore brands … but they either were too greasy or too drying. And none of them seemed to remove it as well as a gentle facial cleanser. However, as I’ve been trying more natural products, I… View Post
