Softlips Winter Collection Review

Softlips

I was recently lucky enough to review Softlips new winter flavors: Winter Mint, Sugar Cookie, Sugar & Spice, and my new favorite Sugar Plum Berry. I have never used Softlips before, but I’m hooked now.  I use a lot of lip balms, especially in the winter months.  The other lip balms seem to moisturize at first, but then leave [...]

Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System Review

Olay Professional Cleaning System

I recently had an opportunity to review Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System. After hearing several good reviews, I couldn’t wait to try it the moment I received it.   The Pro X claims it cleanses skin 6 times better than basic cleaning.  Well, I can say that my face has never felt cleaner or [...]

Crest 3D White 2 Hour Express Whitestrips Review

Crest 2 Hour Whitestrips

I had been thinking about whitening my teeth for a while now.  I had asked my dentist at a recent visit what he recommended.  He offered a couple of services that were a bit pricey for me.  He also mentioned if I wasn’t the interested in those services, I should check out the Crest 3D [...]

Lumixyl Topical Brightening System Review

Lumixyl

Years ago, before there was scientific proof of what damage the sun can cause to your skin, I was a sun worshiper.  I would spend hours slathered in baby oil and iodine in search of the perfect tan. Which I can say in reflection I achieved.  Grandpa Randy always says that was what first attracted me to [...]

Softsoap Body Butter Body Wash & Bar Soap Review

Softsoap Body Butter Review

Grandma you smell good, just like strawberries.  Those words came from my five year old granddaughter after I had used Softsoap Body Butter Strawberry Smoother Body Wash. I immediately loved the body wash.  It reminded me of body washes I had bought at a well known store at our local mall.  It is thick, has a [...]

Aromatic Escape Review

Aromatic Escape

I really love candles.  However, I am extremely sensitive to smells, so it is often difficult for me to find a scent I like.  When I had a chance to review several items from Aromatic Escape, a handmade bath and body product site, I was a little leery about having to chose the products without being [...]

The Perfect Wedding Day Perfume

Wedding Roses

When Tired Dad Dave and I were planning our wedding, I knew one thing I wanted for the big day was a very special perfume. I have never been one to wear perfume very often, but just before we got engaged I had been shopping with a friend who took me into L’Occitane. The store [...]

NeoStrata Bio-Hydrating Cream – Review

NeoStrata Bio-Hydrating Cream

I  have had issues with my complexion since I was in junior high. I’m not telling you how old I am now, however, I will tell you that the facial cleanser of choice when I was in high school was Noxema. It has taken me years to come up with just the right products to [...]

Colgate Wisp – Review

Colgate Wisp Review

Often when I fly for work I will get up at a ridiculous hour in the morning, fly to where ever I’m working, and then work in the office for the day. Since I’m waking up so early, generally I fall asleep on the plane and wake up with “plane mouth” – that yucky, sticky, [...]

BloomCircle – Review

BloomCircle Beauty Products

I am a beauty “lotions and potions” junkie – I love any and all body scrubs, lotions, face creams, nail polish, lip gloss and any other beauty product around. Super Tired Dad Marc often wishes that I didn’t love them so much as I have products all over – in cupboards, drawers, and of course [...]

Listerine Whitening and Restoring Flouride Rinse – Review

Listerine Whitening Review

Everyone loves a bright, shiny, TV star bright white smile. Unfortunately, I don’t have the TV star salary to get my smile that sparkling bright and afford the upkeep. In the past few months I’ve become more of a coffee drinker and my smile is less than bright because of it. I’ve tried whitening toothpastes, [...]

Lilla Hairclips – Review

Lilla Hairclips Review

Although Avery doesn’t always like to comb her hair, she loves hairclips and fun accessories! We recently came across Lilla Hairclips and decided to give them a try, they were so cute we couldn’t resist. We tried a cute white oval with a Blue and Green Flower design, two matching Red, Pink, & Blue Hearts [...]

Must-Have Beauty Products and Accessories

Modella Make Up Bag Review

I love having a day of beauty! Trying new products and pampering myself is always fun. A hot shower, a foot scrub, polishing my nails, dabbing on eye creams, tightening and firming some fine lines around my eyes, and tweezing my brows. I feel refreshed and new and confident- ready to face the world or [...]

Beecology Soap, Lip Balm, & Body Cream Review

Beecology

I hate to say this, but did you ever come home from running errands and you step into your house and smell the air and wondered- “Yuck! How long has the house smelled like garbage, bacon, etc!? And I didn’t even notice!” Then you start opening windows and spraying air freshener and taking the garbage [...]

Curly Hair or Straight?

Girl Sticking Out Tongue

When Tired Dad Dave and I were in college, we had a friend who had crazy curly hair -while it’s not her, her hair did look a lot like the picture at the left. She was Italian and her hair was so curly she would often have to use a straightening solution on it but [...]

The Solution for Dry Winter Skin

Johnson's Baby Oil

Ah, Winter. My least favorite season. Not only is it cold and we battle monster snow drifts, here in Cleveland but the dry air is brutal on our skin. Poor Logan’s skin is so dry year-round, I don’t know how it doesn’t drive him crazy. I’m usually fine most of the year, but come winter [...]

Karmin Flat Iron Giveaway – CLOSED

Karmin Flat Iron

While staying at my parents house over Thanksgiving last week, I sat down with a box of old photos from holidays past and reminisced. I enjoyed looking through all of the family photos and seeing how much everyone had changed. One thing that stuck out to me the most in all of the photos (aside [...]

Little Twig – Organic Personal Care for Sensitive Skin

Little Twig Logo

My daughter, Camryn, who is 20 months now has excema.  We have tried what seems like all the products out there that are supposed to be good for sensitive skin. We use laundry detergent with nothing added to it, and moisturize all the time, but Camryn still has dry skin and excema. Her skin has [...]
