  • Thumbtack – Are You a Service Professional?

    I’ve recently signed up for a new networking site where people looking for a service can find local professionals that provide the service. It’s been a great resource for generating leads, and I wanted to share some info about it here in case any of my readers are service professionals, too! You can click here […]

  • Review: Adovia Mineral Eye Gel

    Honestly…I absolutely adore this eye gel. It claims to reduce puffiness – it does. It claims to minimize dark circles – it does. It claims to brighten the eye area – it really does! Every now and then, I wake up with really tired, puffy eyes. Be it that I had Chinese food for dinner […]

  • Review: Pure Body Naturals Vitamin C Serum

    After I tried out, I didn’t think I could be even more impressed by another Vitamin C serum, but here I am to tell you that Pure Body Naturals’ serum is indeed better! Again, I went into this expecting some irritation, and I was pleasantly surprised to find that I had absolutely ZERO irritation with […]

  • Review: Mystelic Beauty Nature’s Best Vitamin C Serum

    I’m noticing that despite my best efforts to avoid sun exposure, my life in sunny California is catching up with me, and my freckles have steadily become more prominent over the past few years. While by no means are they extreme, they are noticeably different to me. As such, I’ve looked into ways to boost […]

  • Review: Foxbrim Youthful Radiance Eye Cream

    As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m starting to notice slight changes to my skin as I’m aging, and as one would expect, the area I’m noticing them most is around my eyes. Including an eye cream or otherwise-targeted eye product has become part of my daily routine. However, I still don’t actually have dry […]

  • Review: Adovia Moisturizing Mineral Soap

    To start, I am a huge fan of bar soaps. I love how little packaging they have in comparison to liquid soaps, and I also love that what packaging they do have is usually a box which is biodegradable. I’m all about reducing my waste so I don’t have to worry about reusing or recycling […]

  • Review: Uni Argan Oil

    I love using oils as part of my skincare regimen, particularly for my hands. , I have the worst cuticles and nails in the universe, and the only thing that makes them bearable is to frequently apply oils and massage them in. They naturally callus (yes, your cuticles can callus), peel, split, break, and bleed, […]

  • Review: Adovia Mineral Lift Serum

    In general, I’m not a big devotee of skin care serums. Most are geared towards dry skin, and I have normal-to-oily skin. Since a tiny bit of light lotion is way more than enough to moisturize my skin, I don’t feel any burning desire to include another product that would just increase the speed with […]

  • Review: Flight Deck Cosmetics Blush in Elevation and Approach

    When it comes to blush, I’m generally not that adventurous. I tend to reach for subtle colors in rosy- or peachy-pinks, and I never really experiment with application methods or more stand-out shades. That said, I think Flight Deck Cosmetics may be the line to break me out of my shell! These blushes are formulated […]

  • Review: Flight Deck Cosmetics Lipstick in Reserve

    I often have difficulty with nude lip colors, as I’m incredibly pale with cool undertones. If a color is to beige or yellow, or if it’s too pale, I can easily look like a member of the walking dead. Fortunately, Flight Deck Cosmetics nude lipstick shade – Reserve – is an absolutely perfect pinky-warm neutral! […]
