How to Look 25 When You’re 50

That may be a slight exaggeration. I’m not sure it is possible to look 25 when you’re 50 but I figured it would capture your attention. Also, I have a few more years until I turn 50 so hold your horses Betty. I’m not quite there yet. However, countless friends and family have asked my [...]

My New Hipster Toothbrush

I must have a thing about oral health because I wrote about my son’s toothbrush here, but now I want to let you in on my own newest toothbrush: Quip. I found out about Quip from a friend of mine and she was so convincing about its superiority that I had to get one for [...]

My Latest Skincare Find: Sea of Elements

I don’t usually deviate from my regular skincare regimen, but I do when I am intrigued by a product (or line) that looks like it is truly innovative and efficacious.

Clear, Beautiful Hair!

I just got back from LA after a fab event sponsored by the great hair care line, Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy. Thanks to my beautiful and talented friend, Stacy Cox (she happens to be the beauty expert for KTLA TV), I was part of an amazing group of 6 beauty and fashion bloggers [...]

Bringing Hawaii to Me

If you haven’t heard, it is FREEZING cold in SoCal right now – yes, normally temperate California is seriously colder than the East Coast… in mid-January! I have awoken to mid-30 degree temperatures the past few days and I’m cold! So, in an effort to conjure warm thoughts, I put out my Malie diffuser so [...]
