Best Smelling Sunscreen Ever!
I love the smells of summer, and usually that includes the smell of sunscreen, salt, chlorine and even vinyl pool toys! I had never really thought about trying a sunscreen that smelled any different from the usual until Kinesys sent me a sample to try out. I really liked the SPF 30 Girl Sunscreen Spray. [...]

So, I went on a little vacation with the family recently. We went to Gulf Shores, AL (AKA the poor man’s Florida!) and stayed in a beautiful condo right on the beach. As one of the whitest people on the planet, I figured I had better break out the best sunscreen I could get. I [...]

Product Review – Jane Iredale Powder-Me SPF 30

Product Review – Alba Organics Sea Moss Moisturizer SPF 15
I wanted this moisturizer to be different than the other sunscreen/moisture combos that I’ve tried in the past. I thought, it’s natural and organic, it will feel better on my skin, but unfortunately, Alba Organics Sea Moss Moisturizer with SPF 15 falls in the same trap so many others do–the grease pit. Now in some [...]

Product Review – Colorescience SunCanny Finishing Brush (Invisibly Matte)
As a lifetime member of the oily skin club, I’ve tried all the mattifiers and oil-blotters out there.
