Essie The Resort Collection


I'm a huge fan of Essie Nail Polish which is free of formaldehyde, DBP, and toluene if you didn't already know. Anyway, Splash of Grenadine and Turquoise & Caicos are my faves from The Resort Collection from Essie.
Splash of Grenadine is a playful magenta pink, while Turquoise & Caicos is a tropical aqua.
What's your favorite?

At Home Chemical Peel


I'm beyond elated that I found a place where I can purchase the same exact stuff my dermatologist was using for my chemical peels online. Seriously, I was paying $200 per peel and my derm recommended I get a peel every 6 weeks so you do the math. After my very first peel I couldn't help but think to myself, if I could find this stuff she's using I could totally do this myself. All I did was prep my own face using a alcohol prep pad, she applied the peel with a sponge makeup applicator and then I rinsed my own face with freezing cold water. Three little steps for $200? Come to find out my derm was using 20% Salicylic Acid, a quick google search returned thousands of hits, but I went with Skin Laboratory. I ordered and within a few days I had my very own bottle of 20% Salicylic Acid and I was ready to get started. The application as I already said was super duper easy and I'm seeing some slight results already. I plan on doing this peel every 4 weeks until I'm completely satisfied with the results so I'll be sure to keep you posted.

Bright White Smile Secret


Did you know that erasing food and drink stains from your teeth is as easy as chewing a piece of gum? Well, top NYC cosmetic dentist, Thomas Connelly says that chewing whitening gum that contains calprox, which will remove stains but even any gum will work. Since gum stimulates saliva flow, and will act as a natural detergent, and remove some of the stains.



supersmile Professional Whitening Gum is a great option. You get 100 piece to carry in your purse so you'll always have some on hand. Plus since it's sweetened with Xylitol only it's sugar-free.


Hate gum or don't have any on hand? Connelly says to "Rinse with water if nothing else is available, which will remove some of the stains."
