We all know Carmex as a great lip soother, but do they have what it takes to heal dry winter weathered skin? Moving from beautiful Hawaii to the dry, brown and harsh winter of Utah wasn’t just hard on my heart, it was VERY rough on my skin. Hawaii air being full of humidity, …

A Review of Exuviance Targeted Filler T5 Wrinkle Treatment
So, I’m 31 years old. Truth be told, I don’t feel old (until my kids remind me). But lately I’ve been getting quite a bit of shocks, like finding not just one but EIGHT gray hairs. Eight. Really. (At this rate if I keep pulling them out, I could potentially go bald before …

Beach Days with Carmex
Fun in the sun isn’t complete without protection. Living in Hawaii my family and I go through sunblock like water. I’m always careful to make sure my kids and I sunblock our faces but I’ve never really thought about using SPF protection on my lips.

Review and Giveaway of Softlips (w/new packaging~)
Lip balm is an essential part of my day… my lips’ happiness… my life. Seriously, I don’t know what I would do without it. And while I appreciate the moisturizing benefits of all balms, all flavors (and beautiful packaging, I might add) are NOT created equally… and that is why I absolutely love Softlips! Not …
