Avalon Organics has a line of CoQ10 products - the most useful of which I imagine is the Wrinkle Defense Serum ($22 from drugstore.com), at least that is the one I would try first (I love serums for some reason - they just sound more effective). There is also a firming cream, a cleanser, […]

Well, what I learned from the last poll is that no one likes to talk about exercise! Ha! Me neither, really. LOL Of the whopping 17 people who answered it, 64% made an effort to get some exercise every day. Only 2 of you were fitness addicts, and several were […]

Charu at WomenLifestyle has found some nifty beauty gadgets this week, the Manicure Pen and the Cosmetics Cooler! That cosmetics cooler is a great idea, I think. Elke has a good review of Clairol’s Shine Happy, which is a shine enhancing peroxide-based hair product. If you have tried this, I would love to know what […]

Since busting out of my one fragrance mode last year, I realized that I don’t “have” to stick with one or two fragrances. I don’t know what it is about me that gets in such a rut with things, but I have realized lately that I am very much this way - I carry […]

Finally getting back with my opinion on LipFusion XL! I like it, I really do. As long as I am good and hydrated, I think it does what it says it does, especially when using it overnight, where it really stays on my lips. Also, I really feel like I can […]
