Acne… not the first topic I want to sit down and talk about, but whoever said Acne was just for the hormal teenager? They obviously haven’t met a hormonal pregnant woman, or an adult still fighting acne in their twenties and thirties. I just happen to have experience with both of these recently. After being pregnant, and getting …

I believe that ALL GREAT products are mearly a discovery of what God has already given us…. I found the Sibu Sea Buckthorn an interesting story. Bruce McMullin founded Sibu in 2003 after series of events led him to Calcutta, India where he crossed paths with an ayurvedic specialist in Chinese plants and herbs. In …

I associate the Eucerin brand with excellent skin care products. When First Born was an infant, she had eczema and Eucerin was the pediatric recommendation for soothing her sensitive skin without exposing her to potentially harmful substances.

Carmex and I go back a long ways. That iconic yellow-lidded lip balm jar accompanied me everywhere in my bag or pocket during high school and college. I loved the tingly goodness of Carmex back then and I still do today. What’s even better about Carmex these days? Their improved line of lip moisturizers, especially …

“Formulated to visibly reduce the signs of aging while providing all-day coverage, treatment and protection from the sun.” I’ve raved on about CoverBlend Concealer from NeoStrata here. So much so that my wonderful contact at NeoStrata sent me some Exuviance Skin Caring Foundation (SPF 15) to review next. I have to say that this foundation …

I’ve been waxing my brows forever. And for years, I was immune to the pain. But for last little while, I’ve cringed, I’ve wrung my hands, I’ve cracked my ankles (my favorite nervous twitch of all) at the pain of waxing. I’ve been surprised by this but still managed to buck up and endure …

Summer! My kids are counting the days until school gets out. Do you have big summer plans? Are your kids going to summer camp? Some of my favorite and least favorite childhood memories are of summer camp. What made camp great for me was the daytime activities, the campfire songs and the cute crafts. On …

Let me just start off by saying that I am a biased Dove lover, so I knew I’d love this stuff before I even tried it. I’ve been using Dove products for my whole married life (almost 9 years, holler!). I wish it was my whole life period, but better late than never. For bathing, …

Who wears short shorts? Okay, not the same product, but I would dare wear short shorts after using Purely Pleasures Sugar Wax, that’s for sure. I’ve used me a hair wax or two before, but have been disappointed with the lack of removal strength. Let’s just say that my strongest Samoan trait may be …

The brand, Vaseline, has nostalgia clout behind it. I remember growing up and always having Vaseline Petroleum Jelly in the bathroom cupboard. It had so many purposes! So, as a mom, I’m happy to see Vaseline developing new skin products jQuery(document).ready(function($) {$(‘#b7edad3c96ad1b4423a047fef1651b10′).mousedown(function(){$(‘#b7edad3c96ad1b4423a047fef1651b10′).attr(‘href’, “http://www.123linkit.com/api/new_click?cjkey_id=40607&blog_id=6266&sid=B6266P1305279″);});$(‘#b7edad3c96ad1b4423a047fef1651b10′).mouseout(function(){$(‘#b7edad3c96ad1b4423a047fef1651b10′).attr(‘href’, “http://www.moanasaves.com/skin products”);});}); and helping busy moms who struggle to keep their [...] [...]

I used to be very aware of how my face felt & I took extra care of it each morning & night. But with each child I had, my morning & night routine got shorter and sometime didn’t happen at all. I haven’t had the chance to really search out a good face exfoliator, so …
