I was happy to learn that CND Vinylux is 5-free, although … Continue reading What does 5-Free Polish Mean?

Natural Brand Product Review: Primal Pit Paste

Let’s face it, body odor is a big deal, and if you live a very active lifestyle like I do, smelling fresh and clean can sometimes be highly dependent on your underarm scent.

One of the leading deodorant brands on … Continue reading Natural Brand Product Review: Primal Pit Paste

Natural Brand Review: BRAD Biophotonic Skin Care Anti-Fatigue Mist

I received BRAD Biophotonic Skin Care Anti-Fatigue Mist as a gift last year, and never really tried it because I thought the spray was only meant to be used whenever you felt physically or emotionally fatigued, not understanding that your skin can be fatigued as well. Nevertheless, its invigorating, spa-like aroma actually does calm the mind, while soothing the skin.
