At Home Gel Manicure With Red Carpet Manicure

May 8, 2012

If you’ve heard about gel manicures, you know that they are long-lasting and help harden your nails. They are also somewhat expensive and time consuming to get, which makes the concept of an at-home solution sound appealing to me.

Alberto VO5 – Not Just Hot Oil!

April 12, 2012

I remember Alberto VO5 from my childhood – it was popular for its hot oil, which I used to use all of the time. I’d fill a coffee cup with hot water, heat the oil, and then apply it to my hair in the shower. It always made my permed hair (hey, it was the [...]

March 23, 2012

As an unfortunate effect of the major acne problem I had last year, I now have a few small acne scars on my face. I just can’t believe I made it through my teenage years with absolutely no scarring, but now that I’m in my mid (ahem, late) 30s, I have scars. Unfair. Mederma, a [...]

Month Three on Accutane: The Worst is Over!

March 19, 2012

After that awful second month on Accutane, I was incredibly frustrated. I have to admit that I expected results fast, and obviously that didn’t happen. When I saw my doctor at the end of month two, she was also disappointed in the results. She increased my dosage, and guess what? It’s working! My skin is [...]

Meaningful Beauty Review

March 18, 2012

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been using the Meaningful Beauty skin care routine, in an attempt to halt the aging process (or at least make my skin look a little younger). While I don’t have a ton of wrinkles (thanks to my oily skin, which has meant my skin is acne-prone), my skin is [...]
