As you may know, I am a bath and body products fanatic. And lately, I have been trying to use natural and cruelty-free products as often as I can. I recently was introduced to A Girl’s Gotta Spa, a line of bath and body products created by beauty blogger, Shannon Smyth whose blog shares the …

With at least one more big beach weekend coming up (and more if you live in the warm parts of the world), here’s a quick review of yet another sunscreen that I picked up a couple of weeks ago: Aveeno Protect + Hydrate Lotion Sunscreen SPF 70. I have so many sunscreens. Why do I …
This was another good month for empties. I guess you could say I finished up a bunch of random stuff. Skintimate Shave Gel This particular pink and floral scented shave gel from Skintimate was my favorite for many years. But the last time I stocked up at Costco, they had the Shick/Olay brand instead. So I …
So many body lotions and lip balms have been coming my way lately. Word must have gotten out about my dry skin, lol. Today, I have products from the Savannah Bee Company from Savannah, Georgia to talk to you about. As you may remember, I’m a big supporter of honeybees. In fact, I am delighted …
