As part of a detox program, I was given a body gua sha. And then, I stepped on and broke the beautiful stone tool. What a shame it would have been had I not had the Sol de Janeiro Body Firmeza Massage Tool sitting patiently, waiting for me to test it. As part of the…

You’re going to drink more water now, right?
I have covered multiple times how it is important to drink water if you want more youthful, hydrated skin. You want to hydrate your cells from the inside and not just rely on topical measures. But let’s get real. I don’t care how good your skin looks if your body is falling apart internally. I…

I guess this is a meta-review of the Bioderma lip balm
I was in a pinch. I had traveled all the way to Austin and forgotten to pack a lip bam. I went into the drug store, scanning the aisles for something new to try. Then, I saw it. How about the Bioderma Atoderm restorative lip balm? I bought the tube and added it to my…

New year, new me. To demonstrate my dedication to getting fit, I started going on on walks now in the dead of winter. So of course, I wanted to hydrate my lips. Mistake. As the cold air hit my face, I could feel my super glossy lips starting to stick together. I could see the…
