Usually I aim for wearing sandals for the first time after winter around my birthday in mid-April, but not this year. In fact, there were still snow showers from time to time around my birthday! But spring has finally sprung in the formerly frozen north, and it’s been sandals weather on and off for the …
Derma E generously sent me two products from its Purifying Charcoal Detox line: Purifying Daily Detox Scrub Purifying 2-in-1 Charcoal Mask. The Derma E Purifying Charcoal products would have been perfect for me when I lived and jogged in New York City when I was younger. The pollution from cars, factories and buildings was awful …
Turmeric is in everything these days including a new mask from natural skincare brand, Farmhouse Fresh. Don’t get me wrong, I like turmeric, and because it’s been shown to contain lots of antioxidants, I often sprinkle it on roasted vegetables and seek out recipes that use it. But IMO the best part of the new …

Often I’m glad to be reminded of a skincare product that I really love but have forgotten about. Cleansing oil! This past winter, I definitely should have been using cleansing oil.

LATHER is a superlative natural and cruelty-free skincare brand that I’ve written about in the past (Tinted Lip Balm Trio and Lavender Soap Set). Whenever I go to the airport in Atlanta, I hope that I’m flying into or out of the terminal that has the LATHER store so I can run it and get …
One of the joys of being a beauty blogger is getting to experience lots and lots of new skincare brands and products that I would probably never known about. And one of the most important benefits of trying all these new-to-me skincare brands is that I’ve been introduced to better-for-you brands that are free of …
Vitamin C has been a thing for several years now, especially in facial serums. I’m always trying to fade my sun damage, so vitamin C serum is a staple in my skincare routine. When I had a chance to try OZ Naturals Vitamin C Cleanser, I was all in. Although I’m never sure how much …
Every summer, the beautiful coastal city of Gloucester MA, near where I live, hosts the Waterfront Craft Festival at Stage Fort Park overlooking the ocean. There are loads of booths selling handmade products of all kinds. I love it and look forward to going every year. About 5 or 6 years ago, I was strolling …
I love serums and I love the skincare products I tried from InstaNatural. I recently reviewed InstaNatural Age-Defying Skin Clearing Serum and Moroccan Rosewater here.
