I think bamboo is the new soybean. It’s everywhere! Once just a lucky plant that you rarely had to water, it’s now made into fun dishes and sporks for kids, flooring, sheets, serving bowls, and super soft clothing that’s naturally antimicrobial, wicks moisture, and gives you a gentle massage. Okay I made up that last one. But [...]

My sister just sent me an article about a study that says most sunscreens we’re using to protect our kids just don’t work. And the worst offenders are Coppertone, Banana Boat and Neutrogena. The Banana Boat Tear Free I’ve been using on my kids for years received a 9 out of 10 on the [...]

I read about Clinique’s face self-tanner in a recent Real Simple magazine. So, in need of a healthy glow, I picked up this Clinique Summer Essentials Set at Macy’s. It’s a $45 value for $25, and there was a great bonus gift. And I had a gift card. So really, I got about $75 in [...]

My sister brought this soap to me on her recent visit from Japan. I was in desperate need of a new facial cleanser. This green apple scented bar packs some serious Alpha Hydroxy Acid punch. I don’t see how I can go back to my Cetaphil cleanser after using a soap that leaves my skin [...]

Along the same lines of the Firefly Toothbrush, I like this Squid Soap by Airborne. It “stamps” your child’s hand with a vegetable dye when they push the pump, and it takes about 20 seconds of hand washing to scrub off the ink mark (to “train” them to wash their hands longer without [...]

If you’re looking for a nice little gift for your girlfriends, I like these saltbox cosmetic bags. I recently bought saltbox bags for my friends who hosted our “girls weekend” because I really liked their well-made, unique look (the bags, not my friends - although I guess the description fits them too!). Anyhoo, I got [...]

You know when the saleslady at Anthropologie asks you “Are you still doing okay?” that it’s time to put down the candle you’ve been sniffing off and on for a good five minutes. I’m a sucker for pine-scented candles. Lighting one up in the evening and having those Christmas tree smells wafting through the air [...]

I’m so looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning and brushing “pure, crushed minerals from the earth” on my face. Yes, I succumbed to the allure of mineral makeup. I was somehow sucked into the vortex at the center of the Sephora store, where the black-smocked Sephorians were swirling and tapping and buffing this stuff [...]

So I just got back from a girls weekend with three of my closest friends from grade school. My friend Ashleigh, who at one time was a spa manager at some of the finest spas out there, has since become an aesthetician. And let me tell you, she knows her skincare. I, on the other [...]

I bought some Bic Soleil razors the other day. Who knew Bic made something else besides pens? The pink colored ones looked cheerful, so I put them in my basket and off I went. Once home, I saw they had lavender scented handles. Hmm, okay. I feel a little strange picking up my razor and [...]
