Yes, we have certainly discussed the importance of exfoliating your skin so that your serums and moisturizers can really get to work. But just for a moment, let’s talk about the signs and risks of over-exfoliation. This can include any type of exfoliation from the manual type with a washcloth, to a physical scrub, to […]
Around the holiday time of year, a lot of cosmetics companies produce makeup kits and palettes for their customers. Some of these are quite beautiful and very hard to resist! I love the concept of having everything in one little container, especially when it comes to travel, but I find that these all-in-one palettes rarely […]
Outside of being able to hire a personal chef (ah, living the dream), it’s wonderful to know that when you get home at night, dinner is ready to pop into the oven. I grew up on casseroles, also known as hot dishes, and I still rely on them today. I like to make my casserole […]
