  • Winsor Pilates 20 Minute Workout Improves Posture
    For the past few weeks I have been working out with Winsor Pilates again (read previous post: Winsor Pilates Intro). It has been a refreshing change! I am already feeling and seeing results. You know what I love about pilates? It improves your posture. I completely forgot about this great “side effect” of pilates. To have good posture, you need core strength....

  • Winsor Pilates Intro
    I have been working out with P90x for quite some time now but with my recent hectic schedule and this hot summer weather… I needed to change things up a bit. Feeling drained from long labs and the heat, I just did not feel like losing anymore sweat from P90x’s killer workouts. So instead of opting to just stop working out, I brought out my Winsor Pilates workout...

  • I Don’t Like Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo & Conditioner
    I was so happy when I saw Aveeno Shampoos and Conditioners at Costco (I’m a bulk-buyer… so sue me). I use Aveeno’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion RELIGIOUSLY. Best. Lotion. Ever. Period. So when I saw the new Aveeno Nourish + Moisturize Shampoo and Conditioner I bought it. Unfortunately these are products I DO NOT RECOMMEND. My hair felt great while in the...

  • Clarins Super Restorative Replenishing Comfort Mask & Wake Up Lotion Review
    If you follow me on Twitter then you know that I got the new Clarins Super Restorative Wake-Up Lotion and the Super Restorative Replenishing Comfort Mask earlier this week. Someone even suggested I take a picture with the mask on while having cucumbers placed over my eyes. Well… sorry to disappoint you all with my non-cucumber eyes having post but I do have great...

  • Hollywood Tans Review
    People often ask me where I tan since I usually tweet when I am going to the salon. I understand how hard it is to find a good tanning salon especially since there are tanning salons everywhere these days. Not to mention the bad experience some of us have had at some salons with people nagging you to purchase their most pricey package and then bombard you with tanning...

  • AcneFree Terminator 10 vs ProActiv Repairing Lotion
    Hello all! Today I just wanted to share some information on acne treatments. I was a loyal ProActiv Solutions user since high school. I received the ProActiv Cleanser, Toner, and Repairing Lotion in the mail every so often. And the products were great, don’t get me wrong. But since I am older now I felt I didn’t need the whole ProActiv system anymore. So I...

  • Get Wavy Beach Hair
    Just in time for summer! I just got the heads up about using Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion to get that wavy beach hair look. It’s really simple and if you’re on a budget like me you’ll appreciate the fact that Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion is only like 4 bucks! So if you’re looking to get the sexy beach waves look (like Kate Hudson) try this out: ...

  • Get a Sexy Butt
    During my day off on Saturday morning I was laying in bed and looking through Star magazine when I came across an ad that made me chuckle. The article showed a rather nice derrière and in huge bold letters it read “Want a Sexy Butt?” and below that I saw the product that was being advertised… the Butt Lift in a Box kit.
