JR Watkins Aloe & Green Tea Shampoo & Conditioner Review
It’s hard to be at any store that sells body, hair and home products, and not find a few classic JR Watkins products on the shelves. We’re talking about a brand that has some serious staying power.

You Look Great…For Your Age. Umm, Thanks?

Clinique Take the Day Off Micellar Cleansing Towelettes Review
A quick and gentle way to remove makeup quickly I have a pretty strict face routine at night. Between my cleanser, toner, serums and moisturizer, I have it down to a science. But, oh how exhausting it can be! After a long day at work, or a crazy day with kids, sometimes the LAST thing…

Sabon Butter Scrub and Body Cream review
Our editor-in-chief Stef has been raving about Sabon for years. So, I was looking forward to my very first experience with the line and their wonderful variety of bath products in equally amazing scents.
