So, I’ve been reading up on the advances in various nail products. I’m all about going in for a regular pedicure and treating myself to a little “me time”. It’s nice that polish usually lasts for a couple weeks on my toes, but manicures almost always seem like a total waste of money! I’m very [...]

The New Buzz in Skin Care – Ultrasonic Skin Treatments
Several months back, I became obsessed with facial treatments that utilize an ultrasonic skin spatula. These amazing tools are currently used primarily by estheticians/skin care therapists. However, I’m noticing a big trend toward putting these in the hands of consumers for at home use. (MOVE OVER Clarisonic® Skin Brush!)
I think bliss® was first on the [...]
Éminence Coconut Milk Cleanser
As I’ve mentioned in my last few posts, I was at the Dallas International Congress of Esthetics and Spa at the beginning of this week.

Tips and Considerations for Laser Hair Removal – Does it work?

Over the course of several treatments, the process of “laser hair removal” will effectively diminish hair growth in a specified treatment area. So – YES, it does work. The reduction of hair is [...]
Kiehl’s Ultimate Strength Hand Salve
It’s that time of year again…
Honestly, it doesn’t usually get that cold in my parts of Texas…so we get off pretty easy here. However, we do have a couple of cold fronts that take our temperatures down below freezing…and we even got some snow in unusual places this December!
Skin can really take a beating [...]
Review of Renée Rouleau Skin Care Spa
I can’t remember when exactly it was…but at some point in all my internet surfing I stumbled upon esthetician extraordinaire Renée Rouleau. I started follwing her on twitter and then became a fan on facebook. I must confess I love reading her tweets, updates, and blog posts filled with great skin care advice. She clearly [...]
MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Invisible Cover Foundation – Wedding Makeup
So, I just recently got married (to the man of my dreams) on November 29, 2009. Our wedding came off perfectly…small & intimate – without a lot of fuss or frivol.
First and foremost – big props to my wedding photographer Katherine O’Brien. She took some amazing photos. She didn’t require much prompting on my part [...]
