Those of you who have been reading the blog for a while might remember that my friend and former roommate, , once guest reviewed Karen's Botanicals Fennel Sage Toner. At the time, my skin was pretty dry overall and I intentionally avoided the toner Selena loved since it's meant for normal to oily skin. My skin has since ventured into combination territory, though, and when I recently received a complimentary bottle of the Fennel Sage Toner to try, I all but...

Pardon my absence, but guess what I've been up to lately?!
Danielle, a couple of our friends, and myself planned a potions party for this past Tuesday night, and we ended up making beet blush, toning mist, and deodorant bars. I've only used each product a couple of times so far, but I'm already in love with the beet blush. I'll be back with extensive reviews when I have time to form solid...

To Tone or Not to Tone?

Someone recently asked what the point of using toner is, and I must've been caught off guard since what tumbled out of my mouth was a string of utter nonsense. After having time to collect my thoughts, though, I realized that I'm not entirely sure what toner is supposed to do exactly. I mean, I've used it for years because it seems to improve the texture and overall appearance of my skin, but as far as specifics? I was as lost as a goose in a snowstorm until I did a little research. I scanned several articles devoted to the benefits...

has been experimenting with a lot of homemade personal care products lately, and I wish I could say that I had the spare time available to join her. Since I don't, and since she's an angel, she has been concocting a few products for me to try as well. I've been particularly impressed with a witch hazel and lemon toner that she made, and it has even become a temporary replacement for the ...

I've been meaning to phase out my use of disposable cotton face pads for a while now, and I think I've finally found an inexpensive and cute way to do so (Btw-I still love my Debutante Face Scrubbies, but they're better for cleansing than toning...and I buy reusable cotton pads primarily for toning) . The little face scrubbies I made as part of my recent giveaway are ideal for both cleansing and toning. The best part? They were surprisingly easy to make (which is good news for someone as uncrafty as I tend to be), so if you don't...

I just rediscovered The Daily Green, and their living green section has so many useful tips and homemade health and beauty recipes to offer. It's a treasure trove! One of my first discoveries on The Daily Green was a list of 5 Homemade Skin Care Recipes from The Green Beauty Guide (which is a book that I clearly need to own). Thoughts: Number one on the list is an oatmeal and onion puree face mask. I've never even considered using onion in a face mask! I wonder if the benefits would outweigh the smelliness of an...

Remember the that were on my little Christmas list? Well, my sweet friend Jade got me a set of them in white! Overall, I'm a big fan. I've been using them to apply toner to my face, and since they're textured.. I actually feel like I'm toning and exfoliating at the same time. What a treat! My only complaint is that since they're so thick and absorbant, I tend to use a lot more toner than I did with a disposable cotton...
