My favorite skin care brands that I’ve used (or still use) personally are typically ones that I used professionally in the past. This is usually because I was thoroughly trained via classes and seminars put on by the brands themselves, attended aesthetic conferences with workshops, or simply taught by...

Being a skincare expert for over 25 years I’m often asked what is the best skincare brand I’ve ever used both personally and professionally. The problem with that question is oftentimes there are too many variables to answer with just one brand. What I’ve found is that usually the person asking the question...

I told you I would reveal my incredible Elizabeth Arden regimen and here it is... Cleanser: Elizabeth Arden 2 in 1 Cleanser from the Basic Skincare Line . For those of you who know me…I like to find the best cleanser that doesn’t dry out my already dry skin and I refuse to pay a ridiculous amount of...

So today I said I’d chat about the individual lines within the superb Elizabeth Arden brand. I also mentioned I’d share with you my very own Elizabeth Arden products I use in my all inclusive Elizabeth Arden regimen! First a little about each of the lines: Basic Skincare : Every regimen needs the basics...

Oh my gosh...I just noticed SkinStore.com is having their Top 50 products under 50 dollars promotion ! I love that! Here are some under 50 bucks must haves! Must have Multi-Use serum. This product has more uses than any product on the market. To name a few...acne, discoloration, pore minimizer, wrinkle...

I love Breast Cancer Awareness month not only for the obvious reasons of fundraising, support, awareness, information, memorials and tributes, tools and resources to become pro active in your own health (such as early detection), and all the other really good reasons it was founded. But in addition to...

My plan today was to write about packaging. Specifically pain in the butt packaging that is hard to open; difficult to impossible to get the last of the product out of the container, pumps that are known to fail, etc. However, I couldn't find what document I had saved my list in. And the list was...

About two years ago I lost 500 dollars. I was devastated because I thought that possibly somebody had stolen it when I had gone out on the bay to kayak with my friends. I had 5 brand new 100 dollar bills. I don’t know why I kept it instead of depositing it into the bank; but I did. And sure enough a...
