bumble hair powder

As you will soon come to learn through my various blog posts, there are a few things that I am rather known for in my circle of friends … great shoes, my love for the color pink and BIG hair. Everything in my life has always been “go big or go home.” My slight interest […]

Say Ooolala to Votre Vu Bebe Duette Lip Balm & Hand Cream

04/30/2017 by Samantha McIntosh

Between hand creams, lip glosses, perfumes, mascara, eyeliner, the occasional nail polish and any other beauty product to squander an emergency, my purse is more of a beauty armoire than a handbag. So when I came across the Votre Vu Bebe Duette Lip Balm and Hand Cream, I had to give the duo a try if […]

Spa in a Box: The Remedy Rush

09/12/2015 by Samantha McIntosh

remedy rush

The Remedy Rush is a quarterly subscription beauty box service that provides full-size samples of spa-quality products. Here’s our review! It was a warm (okay, HOT) sunny afternoon and, as I walked up to my mailbox, I was swept away by thoughts of a relaxing spa treatment. It was in that moment that I realized, my […]

Simply Sweet Body Scrubs: Fresh from the Kitchen

09/21/2013 by Samantha McIntosh

Simply Sweet Body Scrubs

Confession: I am a lazy Spa Girl. While I love the all-natural feel of do-it-yourself home spa concoctions, I tend to opt for the convenience of pre-packaged products. One product, however, that I have had a challenge finding in that perfectly pre-packaged version with a DIY feel … body scrubs. Many of the ones I’ve […]

Jouer Lip Enhancers: Lip Gloss with a Kick

06/28/2013 by Samantha McIntosh

Jouer Lip Enhancer

You’ve heard it before, and this certainly won’t be the last time, but I have a slight obsession with lip gloss. It seems the more glosses I try, the pickier I become. My least favorite downfall is the wrong consistency. When a gloss is too light, it wears off within seconds but when it’s too […]

stretch marks

Life is full of uncertainties and pregnancy is no exception. Not only is every woman different, but every pregnancy can be completely different too. As I sit here in my seventh month of pregnancy, I have had many conversations with friends about their symptoms and any tips/tricks they have to offer. I must confess, I have […]
