The minerals that come straight from the Dead Sea are invigorating for the skin – they stimulate blood circulation and the natural exfoliation process. Why is this good for the overall skin? With proper circulation and exfoliation, the skin is able to maintain adequate pH balance; this helps to cleanse and purify, while draining toxins from the body.

Which is exactly the concept behind the products made by One with Nature – by taking the minerals from the Dead Sea, they have created products that help to deliver naturally, silky, beautifully scented skin. More »

I have a great love for mineral make-up. Estée Lauder recently launched Nutritious Vita-Mineral make-up that is full of minerals, vitamins, and infused with Pomegranate extract. I have yet to visit the Estée Lauder counter to learn more about this product, but thank goodness for the age of the Internet!

I have found some great insights on the new SPF 15 Nutritious Vita-Mineral Make-Up in loose powder. Not only is the make-up great for sensitive skin, and protect against the everyday sun, soil, and sweat – it also helps improve the over all condition of your skin.

Let me hear your thoughts on this new line of mineral make-up if you have already tried it. I am now off to visit the Estée Lauder counter.

How often do you blow-dry, curl, or straighten your hair? If you’re like most women, one of these hair damaging routines is part of your daily regimen.

Although we get some pretty fabulous styles by dying, curling, and/or straightening our hair, it also causes a lot of stress to our tresses.

The most obvious sign of damage: split ends! Having dyed and damaged hair myself, I tend to examine my split ends while sitting at a stop light and wishing I could somehow make them go away. And, thanks to AG Hair Cosmetics, now I can!

I recently got the opportunity to try out their yet to be released Split End SPA Repair Serum. With only a few drops, you can kiss those split ends goodbye! After using this great new product for three weeks, my hair looks and feels smoother.

Be sure to look for it when it makes its big entrance in May 2009.

Casey: What can I do about my adult acne? I’ve tried lots of treatments but nothing helps.

Have you tried Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care System? I love this line and would strongly suggest you check it out. I used Proactive for a long time and never saw any results, but with Clinique I’ve been able to avoid major breakouts and control my oily T-zone. It’s best to speak with a dermatologist, but if you’re in a major department store and see a Clinique counter, head over and have them analyze your skin type.

Award season can definitely get a bit overdone…‘cause they all seem about the same. You have the pre-show on E! with bad to OK interviews, the presenters who present scripted introductions to the nominees, and acceptance speeches that either make you cry or want to turn the channel. HOWEVER, from the Academy Awards to the Grammy Awards, and the Emmy Awards to the indie Spirit Awards; I’m the first to admit that I watch them all! The fashion choices are always exciting to view (and judge). More »

For as long as I can recall, I have had an obsession with lip balm, lip-gloss, and anything else related to my lips. As an avid Carmex and Chapstick user, I’m always up for trying out new items. Which is why I was thrilled to check out the Kiss My Face SOS products, Sheer Organic Shine gloss and Sheer Organic Shimmer tints.

Coming in six shades in both the glosses and tints – Pear, Opal, Amethyst, Topaz, Ruby, Garnet – Sheer Organic Shimmer and Sheer Organic Shine are a great addition to your makeup bag.
