A razor is just a razor, right? Not when it comes with five blades and a swivel head that rides over curves and contours without nicking your skin.

Product Review: Corioliss Tourmaline Ceramic Flat Iron
Frizzy, fried and breakage with every brush stroke — welcome to my hair. I was unfortunately blessed with tresses that are not quite straight and not quite curly but wavy. Wash and go? Nope, never.

Shave Rave from Whish Body
Shaving is about as much fun as brushing your teeth. I take that back. Shaving has the added excitement of wielding a sharp instrument across your skin without drawing blood, which I do … everyday, same ankle, same dang spot. That’s why I’m positively giddy over the new Whish Body line of luxurious, spa quality […]
