prid

So, with this crazy dark spot on my face, how did I recover? Well, for starters I picked up some Neosporin with Pain Relief to slather on and help this crazy big spot heal, but the other thing I picked up was a really surprising salve I had seen only once before. Continue reading

I don’t even know where to begin. Except that I am recovering from the biggest skincare debacle I have ever encountered. Blemishes have nothing on what appeared on my face last week. Continue reading

As I have mentioned I do talk about products that are not so green. Its hard, I love products. I’ve created a new tab to house all of the posts on green products, called GREEN PICKS. All the products listed are safe and pass my rigorous reading of ingredient lists. I’ll be updating this over the next week or so to include all of the One Product posts on safer products!

Enjoy and have an awesome weekend!

I needed something fast and had to go with something a little less than green.  Continue reading
