Currently I work as a freelance photographer, but I have been looking for jobs this week. I just bought a condo, and I’m freaking out that I won’t have enough money to pay for it, so I’m trying to get as much income coming in as possible. It’s hard to find a job that is [...]

Back in December I wrote about buying Peter Thomas Roth Ultra Gentle Skin Lightening Gel Complex, which contains the skin lightener hydroquinone and several other lightening ingredients. Even though I stay out of the sun, and use a good sunscreen daily, I still have some freckles and sun spots caused by years of not wearing any [...]

Olay Regenerist Deep Hydration Regenerating Cream is a product I’ve been using for a few years (it used to be called Perfecting Cream), and I really like it for several reasons.

Since my experience with laser hair removal has still left me with quite a bit of hair, I’m back to shaving as my form of hair removal. When I was younger, I loved those pink Daisy razors, but then one day they changed them, and they would catch on my skin whenever I used them! [...]

One of my favorite skin care websites is DERMAdoctor.
It was started by Dr. Audrey Kunin, who is a board-certified Dermatologist. The reason I like the site is because it’s an online store, featuring tons of popular skin care and beauty brands (in all price ranges) like Afirm, Cellex-C, Bliss, Burt’s Bees, Dr. Brandt, Kinerase, Murad, Neutrogena, and tons [...]

What beauty sins do you commit? When it comes to taking care of ourselves and our appearance, it’s hard to do everything we “should” do, and there are all sorts of somewhat dangerous or taboo treatments available to help us attain beauty perfection.
