So it's not really a product and more like a useful tool. One of my readers mentioned it in an email to me last night. Seeing the words 'Makeup Alley' made my eyes shine and spirits pick up a bit. What is this 'Makeup Alley'? Is it some seedy underground world where people trade illicit beauty secrets and regimes? I had to check it out. It is not some dark, underworld order for make-up alas. It is however a great website full of reviews on virtually any product you can think of. Want to try a new concealer that you've heard a lot of magazine raves about but are still unsure? Head to Makeup Alley and get the skinny. This is truly a site for product whores and make-up junkies such as myself. They even feature some really solid reviews on Arbonne products. So the next time you are … [Read more...]
New Venture
Some exciting news here people! I've been asked to join PBN, Parent Bloggers Network. What is PBN you ask? Quite simply it's exactly as it sounds and more. It's a diverse group of parent bloggers- male and female with different aged children who are asked by company's to review their products. I'm really happy about this whole new venture and where it could lead, as well as how it will let me further excercise my love for writing product reviews. I've already received two sets of toys for T.D. to try out and I'll be putting up my reveiw in early March here on this site as well as on PBN. You can find other interesting and fun bloggers there and some innovative and fun products. Check them out today and stay tuned!For today click on the Baby Proofing Your Marriage clip on the … [Read more...]
The Product of the Week!
Yes, it's a shameless plug as I do sell this stuff myself, but I have to admit I sell it only because I love it and it works! That being said, the product of the week is the ArbonneBaby line. You can buy pieces individually or in a set. As I have used T.D. with her ultra sensitive excema prone skin as my guinea pig, I know it's good stuff. Arbonne Baby producst are all natural, 100% Vegan, and have no dyes or perfumes in them. It took care of T.D.'s lizare back leaving her no longer looking like an alien baby, but instead with the rightfully smooth skin she deserves. The wash, lotion and herbal diaper cream all sell for $12.50 each, while the sunscreen in spf 30 is $19.50. I love the set ($73.50) which contains all of the above plus body oil for a soothing baby massage and a nice vat … [Read more...]
Product of the Week!
The Savannah Bee asks the question, "Don't your hands deserve it?" It being a great hand cream like their beeswax one. I say YES! they do. Having received this cute trial sized container in a gift bag of other Savannah Bee goodies I took my time in actually using the hand cream. Then the dry air of winter settled into my skin and attacked full force. I dug the tiny tub out of the bathroom drawer and tried it out. It works! I now use it daily on my elbows, feet and hands. The light scent works perfectly for me and it goes on smooth. It's not stiff or greasy either like some other beeswax or royal jelly products that are out there. I have since tried other items from Savannah Bee such as the natural lip balm and Mint Julep body lotion all with great success. They are all lightly … [Read more...]
The Product of the Week!
This weeks product is...Christian Diorshow Mascara! I received a sample of this little beauty a few weeks back and seeing as I loathed what I was using at the time, that tried and true pink and green tube of gunk, I decided to give Diorshow ($23) a whirl. Why not? It was free! All I can say is, 'Oh my!' I love it! Love, love, love it! It comes in three fab colors of basic black, chestnut and azure blue. I have the black. This mascara does not clump. It goes on smooth and doesn't break. It's not waterproof so watch out if you are prone to tearing up. It has a pleasant light rose scent too which I've never noticed in a mascara before. It's kind of nice. I glide this stuff on each morning before heading out and it keeps my lashes looking long, intensified, ultra glamourous and curled … [Read more...]
Product of the Week!
I absolutely love finding funky, hip baby clothes for T.D. I can't get enough of them. When I say that I mean it- no one buys them for her! So it's up to me to find great online stores such as this one, Psycho Baby. But, Psycho Baby sells more than just clothes. They have great Melissa and Doug toys, (a T.D. favorite, as who can resist wooden sushi sets?) Ugly Dolls, books, CD's, furniture and decor. There are some seriously cute accessories waiting for you too. I'm in love with the Me In Mind skull booties ($24) among about a million other items. The Psycho Baby website has gift ideas starting from $25 and under all the way up to some major splurges. They sell tons of unique, electic baby gear such as high chair covers, bath items, and even pink cowgirl rain boots! There are many … [Read more...]
