You’re probably familiar with microdermabrasion as a way to improve your skin’s texture and appearance. I regularly use microdermabrasion products 3 times a week — but you shouldn’t do it more than that. One of the latest techniques to improve your skin is called derma rolling (or micro needling), which boosts your skin’s production of collagen. I use a derma roller on […]
As I shared in my earlier post, I, my husband, and my dog use Argan Oil daily. Yes, I’d say we are addicted to this all-over body moisturizer. After using regular unscented Argan Oil for so long, my new favorite thing is to make scented Argan Oil myself! It’s not that it smells bad as is (a light hazelnut […]
I’ve been using 100% pure Argan Oil as a face and body moisturizer for awhile now. (So has my husband…. and my dog.) My favorite is Josie Maran Argan Oil for these reasons: Our 100% natural, 100% organic, 100% pure Argan Oil is harvested and cold pressed [in Morroco] from the nut of the argan tree. […]
While there are plenty of benefits to being a true brunette, the downside is that your body hair is much more obvious. Since dark hair shows up much easier than light-colored, blonde hair does… when you have dark hair, it’s much more of a challenge to stay smooth and hair-free.

For years, I’ve been doing this to clean my gold & diamond jewelry: Mix 2-3 drops of Murphy’s Oil Soap with super hot water in a small glass. (To make distilled water hot, microwave it.) Place gold ring with diamonds inside. Swish the ring around using a kid-size toothbrush (that’s only used for cleaning jewelry). Put ring on […]
Replace your bras after 6 months? Not me! I replace ’em when they’re worn out. Period. For me, that’s about every year or so, depending on how much I wear each one. (I do have 7 bras that I rotate regularly, so that helps.) Here are the best tips for making your bras last longer… […]
Nowadays it seems like everybody wants to have the whitest smile possible. The condition of your teeth can affect your life in a variety of ways, including the first impression you make on a job interview or date. A quick trip to any drug store or pharmacy reveals a wide array of products claiming that […]
Cavity treatment is one of the most common forms of dental work. I should know, because I studied up like a medical student when I was told I had to get dental fillings to eliminate some cavities on a few of my back molars. I was disappointed that I’d need to get the treatment done at all. […]
I’ve had a Root Canal… and I lived to tell about it. Actually, I had two within 5 months. Then, I had to have one of those re-done less than a month later! Why???
