BB creams are still a must-have for glowing skin. I have included a splurge and save and other great products to add to your spring list. … [Read more...]

Update Your Fall Beauty Routine
Personally, I have not tried the Simple Facial line but I whole heartedly agree with this video when it comes to Jergens Natural Glow products. I keep a tube in my gym bag, at home and in my toiletry bag (travel-size) for every trip. When you travel you can get run down and this stuff doesn't clog pores. It just moisturizes and gives your skin a great, soft glow. … [Read more...]
A Stormy Brew
My girlfriend texted me about colors that are in for fall the other day, "Purple is in this fall, right?" I texted back, "Absolutely!" She painted her fingers and toes a stunning, slightly metallic purple. It reminded me that I had two colors sitting on my own bathroom counter, waiting to be mixed together. Butter London's 'Gobsmacked' (Fall/Winter 2012) Essie 'French Affair' (Spring/Summer 2011) I started out with a very light mixture of Gobsmacked and heavy on the French Affair. It was streaky and too light for the season. The end result was reminded me of a hurricane sky purple with that dark blue you often see during a storm on the water. It seemed appropriate for the end of September. Please, ignore the rough edges. This is pre-cutical clean up. … [Read more...]

Six Questions with Lather Rinse Repeat
Meet Beauty Blogger of the Week, Michaela from Lather Rinse Repeat! I discovered her quite by accident only weeks ago as I trolled beauty blogrolls. Immediately I was hooked by her ability to make me snort with laughter while discussing beauty related items like chalking or American beauty hauls. Her blog has become a fun little addiction for me and one that goes beyond nail art. Isn't that a relief?! I was overjoyed when she said yes to this little interview and then talked to me on Twitter. I'm going back to my corner now. … [Read more...]

Where’s Mummy?
All over the place! At least that is how I feel this first week of summer. From swim lessons to bubble camp, dance recitals and extra classes, work and our everyday lives I am feeling sleep deprived, dehydrated, frustrated and just plain 'ol scattered. Sitting outside a SBUX until midnight last night probably didn't help but I needed time out of the house and to catch up with friends. I wrote about the 2012 Chevy Traverse on GM's 'Driving the NorthEast' blog this week. On MPR we talked about Being Kind, Being Green, Choosing Cartons, Using the new Red Carpet Manicure kit (Gel manicure at home!) and so much more. Exclusive MPR coupons are there too! At Social Moms I bring out the best Eco-Friendly Nail Polish for Summer. Lastly, there's this great product round-up that I'm … [Read more...]
