I love makeup, but I’m not super brand loyal. There are some items that I’ve experienced to be better than others (that’s the case for everything, isn’t it?) but I’m not afraid of getting my makeup staples at the drugstore… especially when it comes to mascara. The best known brands are the ones who tend…
Since Sarah-Jean and I are both in the middle of needing some sulfate-free shampoos (you NEED to use them with Keratin treatments. It’s a must-have!), I thought there might be one or two of you out there who’d be interested in checking out this sale! Jasmere.com is offering Danu hair products for 24 hours only….
When I first saw China Glaze’s Up & Away Spring Collection, I thought “Oh dear… not another nail polish collection,” but after I got a closer look at the colors in this collection, I was absolutely thrilled. The pops of teal, the peeks of yellow, the soft greens and lavenders… All colors you might never…
One of my first loves was makeup. I was definitely that girl who raided their mother’s makeup kit, got the reddest lipstick I could find and smeared it ALL over my face. It was a pretty great look for a four year old. But, let’s be honest: we’re not four anymore… and I’m not sure…

I get Mercola’s Newsletter, (The World’s Most Popular Natural Health Newsletter) in my inbox every morning. This morning, a particular headline caught my attention and I knew I had to share it with you ladies!! Some of the most popular natural deodorants are the “crystal” deodorant stones and sprays. But most people don’t know that…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 7 “Then The Lake Froze” Courtesy of International Bird Rescue & Research Living in Washington State at sea level, we rarely see snow and ice, if ever. You have to go far into the mountains for that, and even then, we don’t have the best snow in the…
Image Courtesy of eHow.com When Exactly Did We Start to Hate Our Bodies…? I can precisely pin-point the moment when I started to hate my body. I was twelve years old and my dad was a professor at UNLV, Las Vegas, Nevada. I hadn’t thought much about my appearance until the summer I would turn…
Image From the ‘Dove Real Beauty’ Campaign “When I looked in the mirror, it was like cutting my body up into different pieces and evaluating the pieces, as if it was some sort of thing … I would really focus on different parts and then rip those parts apart, being hypercritical. It was a violent…
This is going to be a harder than usual post for me to write, just because it really tends to hit close to home. That being said, I wanted to throw my two cents into the pot (a little late, I know) about the whole Heidi Montag scenario. Let me preface my post with this:…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 6 “Swan Eye for the Human Guy” I think every woman knows when her Prince comes. I knew my Prince had come when I met the man who elaborately bathed himself before dining with me every evening. Personal hygiene is always a plus and it’s certainly difficult to…
So I was telling you about meeting What Not To Wear’s Stacy and Clinton at the Discovery Communications’ 25th anniversary gala.

We had a fabulous conversation about the stresses women face and how someone can empower herself by…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 5 “Some Day My Prince Will Come.” It was a cold Saturday morning and frost had formed on the raw branches of my Japanese maple trees. The small lake was perfectly still as the lone male swan silently parted the water and created a beautiful wake in his…
Well, I can go ahead and slack off for the rest of 2010 because I have already had a fabulous experience. I recently attended the Discovery Communications 25th anniversary gala, where I saw many familiar faces from the Discovery networks. Everyone from the Pitmasters to the stars of Little People, Big World were wandering about- snacking…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 4 “The Coldest Day of December” The interesting thing about mute swans is that they mate for life. They reach maturity around 2 years of age and that’s when they start scouring the pond for available males and females. The pond turns into a veritable bar scene on…
