happy, healthy & hot

I love all of Justin Bieber's new singles…

and “Cold Water” is no exception.  Justin, you can be my life line! But while I love listening to “Cold Water,” I rarely drink it. I’ve always preferred my water (and most other beverages) at room temperature. It’s just a personal preference, but it turns out drinking your beverages at room temp might have some […]

silk + oil + jade =

beauty sleep! Let’s start with the silk.  Recently I ordered a silk pillowcase from Amazon.  I’ve heard for years how sleeping on silk is better for your skin and hair.  No idea why it took me so long to try this. One immediate benefit of sleeping on silk…

Being gorgeous on the go…

is easier than ever, thanks to these new individual packets of Collagen Peptides from Vital Proteins. The simple habit of taking Collagen Peptides every day has improved my skin dramatically.  It is firmer now, at age 50, than it was ten years ago. It’s also great for your nails, hair and connective tissue.   And now […]

I've had a hard time keeping my mouth shut…

because I’m so excited about this new facial serum from Annmarie Skin Care. But I wasn’t allowed to post my review until it was actually up on their website.  Which is now. I’m talking about Wild Fruit Serum.  LOVE this stuff!  It is designed to brighten, hydrate and tone all skin types.

This ranks right up there with oil pulling…

and dry brushing.  In other words, a little weird. I’m talking about jade rolling. Like oil pulling and dry brushing, jade rolling is a technique that has been around for years (in this case, centuries) and is getting renewed attention today. And if you’re not familiar with oil pulling or dry brushing, read these old […]

Are you on my list?

I’m talking about the happy, healthy and hot email list.   If you’re not on it, you are totally missing out! I send an email out every Thursday with a quick review of the posts from the past week, as well as links to any special deals that I want to share with you. Just […]

I've been putting this topic off for awhile…

because no one really likes to talk about odor.  Or underarms. Let’s be real… coffee and skincare are much more fun to talk about.  Also pleather, cute musicians, mascara.  The list goes on and on. Back in November, I wrote a post called The deodorant dilemma.  I think three people read it.  Check it out […]

My second spicy Southwest secret…

is this super easy chicken recipe.  So simple…just throw some stuff in the crockpot and walk away.  My kind of cooking. In case you missed my first spicy Southwest secret, I’ll share it with you again. It’s Primal Kitchen Chipotle Lime Mayo.  Seriously so good and the only effort required is opening the jar.  Here’s […]

Whiter teeth without grief

I think it’s safe to say we all want white teeth. For many years, I relied on White Strips.  My teeth have always been decent, but they weren’t as sparkly white as I wanted.  Since the staining wasn’t bad, I never went through a whole pack…I would maybe just use them for a few days […]
