Diapers From Honest.com

Did I ever think I’d be blogging about diapers? No. But I just love these damn things.

A few weeks back a mainstream line of diapers we hadn’t used before gave Harper the worst rash (I won’t name the company because if they gave all babies rashes, they wouldn’t be around). I knew what was causing it right away because they were the only n… Read More…

Summer Shimmer with Prescriptives, ChapStick, Pantene, and Profound Beauty

Just a shot of carefully placed shimmer can make your look pop. Lips are pretty much a no brainer area where shimmer is begging to be placed, but ever thought about your hair?

Recently I’ve noticed a huge trend in sun protection- they’ve been adding SPF to moisturizers in a way that makes it easy to use daily and guard against the damage that occurs over time in small doses of daily sun. PCA Skin’s Perfecting Face & Body Hydrator is a skin quencher so light in weight and so neutral in scent that it’s an ideal daily SPF 30 that carries The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Seal of Recommendation.

As a moisturizer, its licorice extract, and kojic and lactic acids help to fade sun spotting in a light also base giving light yet complete moisture. You do get broad-spectrum protection from both UVA (think A for aging) and UVB (think B for burning) rays, but they also pumped it full of antioxidants to protect your skin from future environmental damage.

So many times I think companies claim you can use a body product on your face too just for the sake of marketing, but with this fantastic combination of ingredients , it’s actually true. This is a complete moisture and SPF solution that you will find yourself using every day.
