I’m addicted the Fussypant’s Fight the Frump columns– even Oprah got into the frump-fighting act. I often suffer from what Fussy calls “Baby Woke Up at 5am Hair.” After a long night, my frizzy hair gets pulled into a haphazard ponytail. Want a sense of how bad this looks? After a recent haircut, I ran into an acquaintance in […]

Three Steps to Better Skin
I learned from my mom that there are three steps to healthy skin. Wash with a cleanser specifically designed for the face, exfoliate with a toner (clarifying lotion), and moisturize. With my mom’s advice, I’ve been using Clinique’s 3-Step Skin Care since I was a teen. Even the driest skin benefits from a gentle toner […]
Beauty is More than Skin Deep
One of the great tips I got from Gorgeously Green is to check out all of your beauty, hair care, and personal hygiene products on Skin Deep: the Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetic Safety Database. They rate your lotions and potions, including children’s products like sunscreen, shampoo, diaper creams, and more. If you want to know […]

Looking for a Gift for a Mama-to-Be?
I’m a bit (ok…a lot) type A, so my friends were concerned that I relax as much as possible during my pregnancy. The pregnancy yoga DVDs I received unsolicited were their not-very-subtle way of telling me I needed to de-stress. Message received. I’ve found the pregnancy yoga helpful (great way to banish a backache), but […]
Pregnancy Safe Anti-Acne Wash
One of the downsides of pregnancy can be the effect it may have on your skin. Pre-pregnancy I had such healthy skin. I haven’t had a zit or blemish in years. One of the first signs of pregnancy for me was a change in my complexion. One day, out of nowhere a pimple appeared…and then […]
Is Nail Polish Safe During Pregnancy? How to Find a Phylate-Free Nail Polish.
You have to avoid all sorts of stuff during pregnancy. Giving up sushi, wine, soft cheeses (brie and blue cheese) was tough…but doable. I’d ditched the hair dye and cut myself down to one cup of tea a day. I’d even resigned myself to a stuffy nose since I can’t take my regular Zyrtec-D anymore. […]
