There were reports last week that us women are absorbing copious amounts of chemicals from the cosmetics we slather on our faces each day.

And, yeah, that’s scary and all, but for one reason or another, everything I read about it really lacked the real-life scariness needed to really light a fire under my ass.

Until I read this.

We are all aware that lipstick goes on our lips, right? Which are fractions of inches from our mouths? Which can easily absorb whatever comes near it just as easily (and much more understandably) as our skin can?

Do we all live in a third world country? Why are companies like L’Oreal and Dior (Dior for God’s sakes!) letting us ingest lethal chemicals?

Personally, I think lipstick feels obnoxiously fake and heavy on my lips (Ha! I wonder why…) and so, I’ve never been a fan but almost every other woman in the world most certainly is. Read More »

I don’t particularly enjoy shaving. Though I must tend to this not-so-fun and time-consuming chore of hair-removal, especially before I head off for my spring break trip. It’s not fair that men only have to shave their faces and I have to shave just about everything else. So what do u do? Not shave? That won’’t work. Because I know that hairy legs and a hairy bikini line won’’t look good with my new swimsuit. Oh and neither will hairy underarms. So I need to get rid of the hair and quick.

I have a secret: King of Shaves Woman’’s Shave & Smooth Shaving Spritz. It’s a bit of a tongue-twister, but it dramatically reduces shaving time with a spray-on application. It costs only $6 and smells like grapefruit. It also leaves my legs, bikini area and pits, smooth, smooth, smooth. And most important, no razor burn! I don’t think there is anything worse then razor burn on my bikini area.

I can also always rely on Skintimate shave gels to rid my bod from unwanted hair. Just out in stores this month are two new scents-Strawberry Tangerine and Kissably Sweet and theycost only $2.50. With a price like that, I’ll shave everyday.
