The holidays are in full swing and while I’d love to say it’s a stress free time full of quiet evenings for me, that just isn’t the case. Between work lunches and parties, my son’s school activities and our making time for friends and family, …
I would say my love of lip gloss is fairly close to a borderline obsession. I have been a self-proclaimed lip gloss aficionado since the 7th grade when I didn’t leave the house without a bubblegum flavored rollerball gloss firmly placed in the back pocket …
When you think of Aloe Vera, what comes to mind? For me, it’s the tried and true remedy for sunburn, but I’m here to tell you, Aloe Vera can do so much more. I recently tried out Aloe Vera Gelé from Desert Harvest and I’m definitely hooked on this great skin care product. This product was the very first in the Desert Harvest line, that was launched back in 1994 and while the company has expanded its offerings to include 100% natural creams, gels and hair care products, they’ve kept this product around and there’s a good reason why.

The Desert Harvest Aloe Vera Gelé penetrates deep into the dermis to help improve the skin’s natural firmness, keeps the skin hydrated and contains antibacterial, anti-fungal and antiviral compounds that may help prevent wound infections and stimulate collagen synthesis and skin regeneration. This product, as well as all of the Desert Harvest skin care products is made with the purest ingredients, no parabens or artificial ingredients.
I’ve always known aloe as a healing plant, but I had no idea that it includes over 75 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, salicylic acid and polysaccharides that have been shown to help with the reduction in swelling, redness and irritation. Aloe helps with collagen production and tissue regeneration and is an ideal ingredient to use for burns, sunburns, eczema, psoriasis, rosacea, acne, bug bites, poison ivy/oak, hives, rashes, shingles, dryness, vulvodynia, lichen sclerosus, and Sjogren’s. It’s also helpful for clearing up dandruff, combatting thinning hair and can even be used as an after shave or under make-up to moisturize and soften the skin. I have fairly sensitive skin and I’ve been using this on my forehead, as I just can’t seem to clear up a mild rash. This product really seems to be doing the trick, after only using it a few days. Aloe moisturizes without leaving the skin greasy and does not clog oily skin.
The Aloe Vera Gelé is the real deal—the ingredients included in Desert Harvest products are chosen for their quality, purity and therapeutic properties. The company uses only natural preservatives, no fillers and no artificial perfumes.

I look forward to trying new hair products. It’s like Christmas morning when a box arrives full of hair care products, especially when it’s from BioSilk Haircare. Recently, I received five fabulous products from BioSilk Haircare’s Volumizing Therapy Line that I’m excited to tell you …
This past summer I turned 51 years old and let me tell you, getting old is not fun. Your body, hair, skin and nails all change…and not for the better. My hair has always been thick, but is now starting to thin. On top of …
Summer is in full swing and there’s nothing I like more than to get a pedicure and show off my brightly hued toes! I recently learned about a great product that makes the pedi process even better! Original Pedi-Sox are the answer for those of us that want to keep our feet warm and cozy, but don’t want to mess up those freshly painted toenails before they are fully dry. Pedi-Sox are made to slip on right before the final stage of your pedicure to keep your feet looking flawless. You can wear them with flip-flops or alone. They are especially ideal for those upcoming colder months (think chilly tile floors).

These stylish and super cute toe-less socks provide solutions to every day pedicure dilemmas such as dry skin, cold feet, polish perfection and happy healthy feet. Original Pedi-Sox not only look adorable, but also help to keep your skin smooth and soft allowing your feet absorb moisturizers better. I get so frustrated when my feet feel slippery in my flip-flops from the lotions and oils they massage on my feet during the pedicure. Having these socks on hand totally prevents me from slip sliding away!
What I really like about Pedi-Sox is they are perfect for putting on in the evening after applying lotion to your feet. If you do this right before bedtime, they’ll not only keep your feet warm, but you’ll be moisturizing in your sleep. If you have dry, cracked heels or calluses this is an ideal product for you.
As I mentioned above, Original Pedi-Sox are great for taking to the nail salon, but you can also use them for yoga to keep your feet from slipping around on your mat. I definitely will use them in my next yoga class.
The Original Pedi-Sox are available in a wide variety of patterns and colors—my favorite is the Hawaiian Lei—as well as solids and plain white. They are available on the company’s web site and range in price from $7 to $11.50.
Giveaway: Five (5) Winners will each win 2 pairs of Pedi-Sox. Winner will receive 2 random pairs. Good Luck!

Let’s be honest—when your hair looks good, you feel good. After all, the term “bad hair day” isn’t just about hair! Admittedly, I’m not a big user of beauty products, but I do love a nice shampoo. I recently received some top-notch shampoo to review, …
It’s hard to believe, but fall is right around the corner, despite the hot weather many of us are still enjoying! I actually love the fall—the crisp weather, the pumpkin flavored overload and the beautiful fall colors. As your summer tan fades, you’ll definitely want …
