I once sunburned my lips so bad on a beach trip that Mick Jaggar and I could’ve been twins. For nearly a week, it hurt to eat, drink and even talk. Now, I don’t dare go swimming, to the beach or even outside for long periods of time without throwing a tube of SPF-infused lip […]

Lip Saver: Hint of Honey from 29 Cosmetics
I just returned home from a 10-day odyssey in Fort Collins, Colorado with the Spa Boy’s family. It was cold. It was loud (14 people). And except for a pleasant escape with my sister-in-law to a yoga class, it was often chaotic. But overall, it was a treat to get away and witness a Christmas […]

Product Review: Cargo's PlantLove Botanical Lipstick
I’m not one to go around dropping $20 on lip balms. I like to keep it in the $10 range, $15 tops. But sometimes you gotta splurge, especially when it’s a lipstick wrapped in pretty packaging and a higher purpose. So splurge I did on the much-touted PlantLove Botanical Lipstick from Cargo. Encased in a […]
Binger's Remorse: Ganache for Lips
I swear on a stack of Spa magazines that I will never eat that much chocolate again. Not until next Valentine’s Day. Or maybe not until…uh…Easter, fer sure. Until then, I’ll find solace in the non-addictive, non-zit forming kind. (Whoever said chocolate does not cause pimples has not met my face. In my completely unscientific […]

Here are some favs: Himalayan Bath Salts from Body Systems (pictured), Shower for the Cure Pink Ribbon Shower Gel from philosophy, Ultra […]
