Boozing and internet shopping is one of my favorite pastimes. It's a hobby. A form of relaxation. And this is one of the best late-night purchases I have made! I feel like I remember reading about it in a respected beauty magazine, but I don't know if that's true, or the wine talking. Anyway, it feels like a human bug zapper and looks like a delicate, pricey dildo but in actuality it is a magical acne and signs-of-aging eraser!View Article
One of my goals in life is to be able to leave the house without make-up and not have someone say one of the following: 1) "Rough night?" 2) "You look so tired!" 3) "Are you sick?" For as long as I can remember, I've had giant bags under my eyes that don't seem to go away no matter what I do.

I am not a morning person, so I have a love-hate relationship with anything that requires me to allocate time outside of my bed that could be better spent snuggling my dogs. But if I don't leave enough time to take care of my skin, I break out like I'm in high school again. (Frosting is a big enough portion of my diet that I'm already not doing myself any favors in the acne department.) Here's how I prep for my daily battle against zits, the sun and aging...View Article
