Nice video! I’m playing it right now. Cute orange polka-dot shirt too by the way
I must track down that nail polish pen.
I was about to email asking about this – would you mind doing an update to your beauty regimen? Your last (first?) one was all the way back in September 2010, and I’m curious if it’s changed. I’m always interested in what other folks are using these days.
Hey Tiffany, I promise I’ll post a beauty routine update super soon! Thanks for the reminder.
Thanks for sharing your favorite things! There are so many great products out there and it’s impossible to try them all so I often rely on what I read on my favorite blogs.
My current favorite beauty products are:
Body Wash- Dr. Bronner’s Pure Castle Liquid Soap (Peppermint) Found in all health food stores. I love the tingly feeling you get when you put this all over your body. I’m addicted!
Face Lotion- From Carol Alt’s Raw Essentials line: All Day Revitalizing Face Moisturizer. I love how this is made with all raw ingredients. It’s so good for you you can even eat it! I found this product online but I heard you can also buy at Duane Reade. I’m obsessed with not only how clean and refreshed this product makes me feel but it also helped heal a scar on my chin!
ChapStick- Burt’s Bees Replenishing Lip Balm with Pomegranate oil- I LOVE using chapstick! I just recently came across this one that changed my life. Its made with all natural ingredients and adds a little color to your lips!
ALL of these products are under $25!
Makes my healthy cheap self happy : )
Hey Jocelyn, thanks for sharing your favorite things, too! I love how they are all super affordable!
Oh my gosh, my daughter & I totally fight over our scalp massager! (To be fair, I did buy it for her for her bday, but then tried to hijack it!) She asks me to use it on her every night when she gets in bed. That thing knocks her out like nothing else! My cousin was visiting this past weekend, and I caught her using it a couple times too! They do make great gifts. I’m heading to lulus.com now, because I love a good vegan bag…
It’s for sure one of the greatest inventions ever.
You are too funny! Nice review update!
Thanks, Nicole!
