Are supplements the real fountain of youth?

Back when I watched The Dr. Oz Show, it seemed as if he was touting the praises of some new “miracle” supplement every week. I’ll never forget the Raspberry Ketone craze he created. On one particular episode, Dr. Oz featured a segment about Raspberry Ketones and referred to them as a miracle fat burner. He said simply taking the supplements, […]

When you reside in the desert, parched skin is a residential hazard. The battle against dry skin is tough and unfair. To put it mildly — I no likey dry skin.

It’s where the magic happens. Designing a room that inspires magic creates a lot of pressure. And I’ve added to that pressure because I want to be amazed […]

Opposites Attract

I love juxtaposition in fashion: feminine with masculine, formal with casual, high fashion with fast fashion. But I never really thought about mixing summer with fall. That is, until I read Who What Wear’s popular 30-day summer wardrobe challenge. Day 17 suggests that I update my leather jacket look with a summer piece. Ok, what not? So, I pair my beloved […]

Product Review – Egyptian Magic

On my happiness scale of 1 to 10, I would rate finding a great skin cream at 50. So when I found the much hyped about Egyptian Magic during a recent Costco run, I was happier than a pig in dirt — or is it slop? Whatevas. I was happy! I read so much about this secret of the stars, cult […]
