What’s the 411?

sooooo many beautifully wonderful things have been happening as of late, and I want to just jot down a list of what is coming in the next few days (hopefully, pending life doesn’t get in the way of course):

We have a new girlie who is going to join the party & start blogging: Welcome aboard Courtney! Yay! Look for her intro & bio and what not coming this week.

New Superfoods Section has been added – as we ‘age’ we need to make some adjustments to our diets to make sure we don’t be our own worst enemy. If anyone wants to throw in recipes, great places to eat better foods on the run or just how to implement a healthier snack please feel free to contribute!

The Girls and I have just returned from a SUPEFAB weekend at the Temecula wine country and a visit to one of the nation’s top Destination Spas: The Glen Ivy - look for a review from both Staci and Brianette since the deal was a written review in exchange for the free hotel room LOL.

New reviews that will be coming this week:
Bella-Mani Hand and Foot Spa located in Ventura, Crystal Clear Dog Spa Grooming, Thai Yoga massage @ Burke Williams Sherman Oaks, and hopefully a bunch of new posts in the Superfoods section. I’ve also tried to add a link to the product reviews pages to e-stores where you can actually purchase the items that have been reviewed so that you have a quick access to the product.

Let’s Get Good!

La Fleur Organique

Free sample time! I got a packet of anti-aging eye cream through a great MUA swapper in my last package – this stuff is from france, available only at Walgreens (yes, a department store gem) and I really like it – it’s worth investigating. It smells good, has cute packaging and feels good – AND has a cute website. Now I know that I shouldn’t really be judging products based on their presentation & marketing scheme, but as a graphic designer and entrepreneur myself, I simply cannot help it.

Packaging is important to me. I feel that if you honestly feel that you have a great product, you will invest in beautiful packaging to move your product. Here is a screenshot of the homepage that you can visit by clicking here: Oh and be sure to check out how they conveniently put a graphic icon of a map of France to show where the product is from in the event you didn’t know where France was or looked like on the map LOL!

anyway, it’s cute, it’s probably not too expensive since it’s available at Walgreens, and smells good. I may give it a whirl the next time I need to run to the drugstore!

PCA Skin Physicians Clinical Care Products

My facialist at the Nail Forum Porter Ranch recommended this product, it cost me just a smidge less of $30 and basically served it’s purpose but not with any bells or whistles. I have though, purchased 2 of these after routine facials because I usually am out of moisturizer at the same time. I dunno, I don’t hate it, nor do I adore it. What I do do, is purchase it out of convenience I suppose. and so there is my review.

Dr. Michelle Copeland Skincare

AHA Facecream
Again, rec’d a nice sized sample from a lovely MUA swapper, logged on to the website and read about it’s claimed properties. Its midrange again, $45 bucks for a tub, and after 1 application, I am kind of interested…I mean, it didn’t really feel an absolute wow factor, but it was nice. Does nice justify $40 plus shipping? I don’t even know right now. but I am sure if I do end up giving it a run, I will post ALL the info here LOL.

DDF Skincare – Glycolic Exfoliation Wash

I just tried DDF Skincare aka Doctor’s Dermalogic Formula’s Glycolic Exfoliation Wash, and I must say, I am intrigued. It didn’t sting, it left my skin super smooth AND it didn’t have any granular stuff or stingy stuff going on that I have found in alot of the glycolic/exfoliation cleansers. AND I totally feel a difference – my skin feels smooth, and believe me, I am a hard sell. Plus I just checked their website DDFSkincare.com and noticed that they have kits, which I am totally a fan of to get a true trial run of the product – happy day!

plus I’m not even gonna lie…the website says they have a free gift and samples with every order LOL! I’m thinking of trying the 2 step to radiant skin kit. The pricing is mid-range – a bit more than the drugstore stuff, but not even close to the stuff you get at Nordstrom’s. Will definitely follow up with results.

Oh! I musn’t forget the importance that the product is not tested on animals
