In that vein I try not villify products on this blog because sometimes just because it doesn’t work for YOU doesn’t … Continue reading »

Back in the saddle again
Hey folks! Sorry I have been missing in action the last month but please be assured that this blog is still alive and kicking. I have been writing, I just haven’t had chance to post much what with a new job, the holidays, getting sick and a bonus trip to Las Vegas.

Super Natural
I have been hunting around for a new moisturizer to replace my Kiehl’s Ulta Facial moisturizer. I love me some Kiehl’s but I think it’s a good idea to mix it up every once in a while.

DIY Manicures
Manicures are not really my thing. I could get a pedicure every day for the rest of my life but for me manicures go on the “meh” list. Once in a blue moon I will get a manicure but they never last more than a few days. I am also spectacularly untalented at putting nail polish on myself, so I have … Continue reading »
