Being the beauty snob that I’ve become, I was happily surprised to find a nail polish that cost me less than $2 bucks and that worked so well. Wet N Wild nail polish has made me a true believer in the spending power of the almighty dollar (or two in this case). Take that Susie […]

A Slice of San Francisco: International Orange Bath, Bod and Hair Products
The last time the Spa Boy and I were in San Francisco, we panicked. Or at least I did. See, I was at the wheel, and after a leisurely week of tooling through wine country and up the California coastline, we arrived in the city just as rush-hour traffic was kicking into high gear. I […]
A Razor with Edge: The New Venus Embrace
