Dry shampoo is one of the most important products in my routine. Sure, it doesn’t sound as splurge-worthy as some of the more colorful and luxurious green beauty products, but it ranks as a necessity in my book. I have hair that’s fine and prone to oiliness at the roots about 24 hours after […]

When people ask me how to clean up their beauty and personal care routines, conventional perfume is one of the first items I recommend ditching. Not everyone wears perfume daily, but I wouldn’t even risk wearing it occasionally. Thanks to trade secret laws that protect perfume companies from disclosing their secret ingredients, there is no […]

  Nūdus’ gorgeous color selection and chic packaging are enough to grab anyone’s attention. It’s the intelligent and thoughtful combination of organic ingredients plus the fact that these lipsticks are handcrafted that really sets nūdus apart.

  It’s February and that means one thing: Valentine’s Day. As I’ve grown older I’ve noticed many people shrug off February 14th as just a commercial holiday meant to boost candy and greeting card sales. While there is plenty of truth to the commercialization of holidays, did you know that Valentine’s Day has been associated […]

  If you’ve ever had a facial and the esthetician used steam on your face to gently open your pores, you know just how soothing and pleasurable that ritual can be. Steaming isn’t just about giving you a pampering experience. It promotes circulation, which increases the flow of oxygen and other nutrients to the face. […]

  Dental hygiene may not sound very glamorous, but have you tried Theodent? Its chic packaging and pearly white formula defy the average in dental care.
