xroads Philippine Sea Salts review
Not being a chef, though I love to cook, I get a lot of my cooking knowledge from TV (ok, I get a lot of my knowledge about everything from TV!) The biggest thing I’ve learned is from the number one, seemingly simple mistake made by Top Chef contestants. I can just see Padma saying…

Brightly colored, fabulously patterned, and a really beautiful snapshot…
Here’s why you need a Clarisonic…
I love my Clarisonic. Love actually may not even be big enough word. Honestly, now that I know life with it, I can’t imagine life without it. Think I’m being dramatic? You obviously don’t have a Clarisonic! I would imagine these are feelings shared by anyone who owns one. If you have one, you love…
Kate Somerville Exfolikate & Line Release review
