Let’s have a little chat about hair. My three-year-old was blessed with waist-length ringlets. EVERYONE comments on her gorgeous “adult” hair.
Me? Not quite so well endowed. I have shoulder-length hair that’s mostly straight, but with
enough wave to make it positively annoying.
Clearly, life is [...]

At the least make plucking those hairs a little easier. Have you ever tried to find those stray long dark hairs on your neck and under your chin? It’s nearly impossible! With the way my hair grows I can’t always wait till my next waxing/laser/whatever appointment to let someone else clean them [...]

Y’all been out and bought your self-tanners yet? I’ve used several with varying degrees of success, and I still haven’t found one that I am 100% wild and crazy about, myself, as they tend to feel heavy and suffocating and I just can’t wait to get in the shower and get them OFF of me, [...]

Every once in a while I get random compliments from strangers about my eyebrows. (In fact, at least two such instances happened to me during Blissdom.) But really, they’re complimenting me on my eyebrow pencil because my natural brow seems to end a little over half-way. Which is totally frustrating.
For a while [...]

…comes my love for the Schick® Intuition Plus® razor.
Here’s what their plug is:
The Schick® Intuition Plus® razor has three blades surrounded by a
Skin Conditioning Solid. It lathers, shaves and provides extra moisture in one easy step for a close, smooth shave.
Now, here’s my take. First off, I hate shaving. Detest it. Show me a [...]

Being the mom of 2 young kids and a hardworking hubby, I do try to keep my beauty regime simple [...]

I don’t know about you, but when I look down and notice my sweater is fuzzy in all the wrong places, I get a little embarrassed and start picking it off. The underarm area tends to be the worst.
(Slightly problematic when one is sitting in a place where one shouldn’t pick at one’s clothes. Like [...]
