Who would ever guess that you could find a really great and neutral lip gloss that’s not at all tacky and is totally cheap at your local grocery store? I wouldn’t have guessed it. But I did.
Albertson’s. I don’t normally shop there. I just ran in for some soy milk. And as I was walking [...]

Robyn asked me to let her know what I ended up sending the three “chosen ones” from my pay it forward, and since I now know that the lucky ladies have all received their packages, I won’t be ruining anyone’s surprise.
I sent them each a Lancome Juicy Tube in Spring Fling, a color [...]

My daughter, Pea, refers to lip balm / gloss / stick as “lip goo.” Whenever she sees me pull one out of my purse, she begs for some on her little lips, too. I giggle. Have I created a monster? I was the same way with my own mother when it [...]

I am officially not going to complain any longer about what the lack of sleep is doing to my eyes. As of today. Why today? Because this morning is the first day that I used my new under-eye concealer by Amazing Cosmetics. This stuff is, dare I say it… amazing. [...]

I cannot recommend a facial enough. It’s been so long since I’ve had one, but honestly, I don’t ever remember having one as successful as the one I had this morning. Ordinarily, I would leave the spa looking red and blotchy and already on the cusp of a vicious break-out. I’d hide [...]

I need this stuff. This stuff is magic. It is a staple in my make-up drawer and it’s been getting a lot of use lately. If you can’t get out for a facial, Dandelion is going to step in and in a pinch make you look all glowy and dewy and alive.
But [...]

I used to use this lip balm by Nuxe that I’d order directly from a little pharmacy in Paris. I’d order several jars of it because it was about $6 and it was incredible. And then, high-end American beauty shops started to carry the line, and suddenly, it was over $20 a jar. [...]

There’s not a lot of time in my house for me and my immensely intricate grooming habits these days. If I want to get in a shower, I need to do it somewhere around 6:30 in the morning, before the girls are up, because once they start calling for me, my chance to bathe [...]

Lots of beauty products to write about lately. But this time of the year always brings about changing (and challenging) skin care needs, and thus I end up trying a lot of new products in my never-ending search for the perfect one for my… chapped lips, dry cuticles, itchy legs… you get the picture.
I [...]

When I made the decision a couple of months ago to try and “green” up our lives here in Fort Worth, I stumbled upon an amazing site called Saffron Rouge that specializes in organic beauty and skin care products for the entire family. But I forgot about the site, until I once again stumbled [...]

I found a few beauty products this week at Target that I thought I’d try. You know, in my never-ending search for timeless health and beauty? And I was thinking why oh why does that timeless health and beauty always have to cost so much? Because I have a serious addiction to [...]

The weather has finally cooled off here a little in Texas. It’s now down to the 60s. And I have to laugh about that because yesterday, in the girls’ music class, a mom brought her son in and immediately said, “daddy dressed him today, so please don’t think I would send my kid [...]

I have found it! The foundation that is going to give me back at least a small semblance of healthy young skin! If you recall, last month I had a nasty run-in with the rearview mirror of my car and realized that alas! I do not have the right skin to [...]

Today, I went with Pea to the mall. I don’t like this mall. I don’t really like any mall. But I needed to try this product by Bobbi Brown that was supposedly going to change my life. Well, maybe not my life, but at least the occasional undereye dark circles I’ve [...]

A couple of days ago, on my way back home from running errands, I had a really depressing encounter with the rear-view mirror in my car. It was so light and bright outside, and at a red light, I became so wrapped up in staring at the horrors! that I saw in the mirror that [...]
