Whether I am expecting something or not, I get a little giddy when goodies arrive ...especially for me :) This package arrived a couple of days ago with a slight thud up against my front door (which I will mention in context later), and I was pleasantly surprised. My daughter opened the door, thanked the delivery dude, and brought the ... Continue Reading...

A fresh take: Barielle’s new Signature line!

May 16, 2016 · Leave a Comment

{I received this product for the purposes of use and review. You know...all opinions expressed are my own :)} A great mani is always a treat. And being able to do it myself, at home? Win! I enjoy being able to purchase good products for my natural nails to use at home. In addition to knowing what I'm putting on my hands, I can save a bunch of money by doing a DIY on my own schedule :) I have used Barielle nail products ever since I was a young(er) adult, and I've always loved the way that they have been nourishing to my nails. {Just to let you know, I am pretty ...

A Refreshing Find: PediSpa Gentle Exfoliating Foot Mask!

November 10, 2015 · 1 Comment

There are times when a pumice stone isn't enough for my feet. I need something more to keep my feet looking smooth, but I really don't have it in the budget (time or otherwise) to get a full-on pedicure. What is a girl to do? :-) Well, my friend Jamie over at More Than Turquoise introduced me to a product called Baby Foot in a recent blog post  of hers. I was excited to find out that there was a deep exfoliating foot product out there; however, I didn't want to bite the $25 bullet just yet. Soooo.....I went to my local Target to see if they had something similar. ... Continue Reading...

Yes indeed…it’s L’occitane giveaway time!

September 10, 2015 · Leave a Comment

If you have spent any time here on the blog, you KNOW that I really enjoy a good bath and body product line. That being said, one of my favorites ever since our summer semester in Spain this past May  and June has been L'occitane! I discovered this line in one of the cozy boutique shops that I frequented while in Salamanca, and I visited my very first store in the south of Spain: The bath and body products that they offer have scents that are pleasing, and they stay with you all day. L'occitane also offers skin care products that feel good and smell great. ... Continue Reading...
