The Clarisonic Mia comes with a small trial sized cleanser and a charger.

I got the Clarisonic Mia for Christmas from my husband and couldn’t wait to try it.  I’d heard a lot of great things about it.  I’ve now been using it for a little over 60 days and thought it was time for a review. The Clarisonic Mia retails for about $119.  The cost seems pretty [...]

My mom's old hairdryer.  Still works!

We’ve been talking about hair lately.  We tried the Halo Blow Dry Bar and I’m a fan of the Revlon Hot Air Kit that I wrote about the other day.  One of the first things to go when you have children or are simply too stressed and busy, is your hair.  It goes up in [...]
