Cruelty Free Beauty Brand – Marie Veronique For me, what’s most intriguing about Marie Veronique Organics is the company’s background. Since I’m a woman, I always appreciate when I can support a company that either highly values women or is itself comprised of intelligent women. MVO was founded by three women—a former chemistry teacher, a [...]

Summer Shine Control
Well, although the past few days have been gloomy in LA, the sun is definitely on its way. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like to be out in public with a greasy, acne-ridden face. A little shimmer is fine, but not greasy. If you like greasy faces, there may be a special [...]

Product Review: AZAP Anti-Acne Skin and Scalp Care
Despite moving quickly into my 30s, I still have to deal with acne. My naturally oily skin is both a blessing and a curse. Sure, it has prevented me from getting many wrinkles, but on the other hand it’s left me with large pores, constant breakouts and lots of acne scars. I’m always on the [...]
