So when I think of Madonna, I think: America’s material girl, Vogue-ing, her cowboy hat, her fabulous muscular body, and how lucky her kids are to have such a talented mom, and…how lucky Justin Timberlake is to have worked with her!

I also think of how punk rock this pop star has always been; Madonna has always played by her own rules and knows what it means to make a statement. More »

Being a copywriter, blogger, sister, daughter, friend, dog owner, and devoted girlfriend, I sometimes find myself exhausted at the day’s end.

But, instead of floating like a feather gently onto my pillow for a good night’s sleep, my mind runs wild with the day’s occurrences and the tasks I still need to accomplish. In turn, it usually takes me about two hours to completely fall asleep. And when I do doze off, I still toss and turn, only to awaken with dark circles and bags under my eyes. More »

Interesting name, wouldn’t you say? Well, it is more than just a name; it is the philosophy behind Nude skin care. This company creates its products to be biocompatible by using high performance bioavailable ingredients. The focus is that it works with your body’s own biology, so it recognizes it and helps it deliver the intended results.

One question and answer I found particularly interesting on the Nude web site was:

Why do we feed our skin chemicals we would never consider eating?

Last week I indulged in a summer vacation full of fun, sun, and lots of water; a houseboat trip to Lake Powell to be exact. Located in Southern Utah, this large body of water is an ideal destination for those who love splashing around. However, the downside of such activities — the dreaded sunburn.

Luckily, I was covered…in Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen. This stuff is amazing. I admit that I have always been ridiculously lazy when it comes to applying sun block. In fact, I usually don’t use any at all, even when I am at the lake where 120 degree temperature is the norm. I have always had the foolish approach that my burn turns into a tan, so why worry about it? Well, skin cancer is a good reason to worry about it!
