"Cover FX- Is the price worth it?"

As a last resort, I decided to try Cover FX products. Last resort here meaning 30+ years of product hopping to walk out of doors looking human and Cover FX being on the "way more than I would ever spend on cosmetics" level price-wise. I have super sensitive and acne prone skin and have a heck of a time finding a product that not only covers acne and the bluish/blackish areas that acne leaves after the pimple is healed all while not making me look like some kind of medical experiment or creating an oil slick barrier that just increases the ...

"Wish I said No to Zeno...."

Guess I should start with the "Pros"- yes, it does work, yes, it is portable, yes it has helped.... now for the "Cons" (taking a deep breath here)....I became suspicious of the Zeno mini after the batteries ran out exceedingly fast and the cartridge needed to be replaced almost as quickly. So, being a scientifically-minded individual I started actually tracking uses and how often I had to replace the batteries and cartridges. This thing is just too darn expensive to own and operate if it is in fact a money pit...

"Elf Wet Gloss Lash Brow Clear Mascara"

Another on my list of amazing make up finds that don't break the bank! This little beauty is 99 cents and I can't tell you how many $10+ products I would choose it over. First I'll tell you why it is cheesy- the product is double ended, one side is "brow" the other is "lash" and the only difference is the brush in one side is tapered (lash) and the brush in the other side is blunt (eyebrow). It is quite obvious that it is the same gel product in both containers, why they think they need to make it double ended is beyond me. However- if you...

"The Pier Aquarium, St Petersburg Florida"

The Pier Aquarium is a good find, but be warned before you enter that the whole aquarium is about 2,000 square feet total. When you visit "St Pete" it is hard not to miss the interesting and colorful structure at the end of the pier, but recognize that the actual aquarium is only one floor and that the entierty of the exhibit is about 1/3 gift shop.  I just want to be sure you don't have the same "where is the rest of it" experience we had when visiting. That being said....The exhibits are really well...

"Great Project for Kids!"

This is an awesome concept and a great project if you have kids in the house ( I don't, but qualify as a big kid at heart).  Garden in a bag is so easy to use, they give you all the necessary parts and pieces and you grow the plant right in the bag it comes in! No need to look for the potting soil or find an empty container- just grab it and start growing!I included images of the bag contents because some of these things only look easy until you get them home. The instructions are printed right on the bag so you don'...

"You get what you pay for- and sometimes less..."

As a designer, Vista Print makes me absolutely nuts. I don't usually write negative reviews, but this has to be said as they are getting more and more mainstream. Friends don't let friends use Vista Print.First the positives: They offer relatively fast turn around and the cheapest prices I've found online for printing. They also offer a wide range of products and a variety of templates if you just want to add your text to existing designs. That is about as much as I can say for the "good stuff".T...

"Maybelline XXL Volume Length Microfiber Mascara"

After using zillions of brands including Dior, Too Faced, Urban Decay, Bare Minerals, Paula Dorf, philosophy, NARS, Smashbox and so many more, I still have to say that this $7 mascara takes the cake. Double ended, it comes with its own primer lash foundation so you can get some "boom" with the mascara alone or you can get some "bada boom" using the primer with the mascara! Really revs up your look and gives you the largest thickest, almost false eyelash looking peepers you could ever want. I love that the primer and mascara are together wh...

"Too Faced, The Little Pink Book"

Too Faced's Little Pink Book is a great little "all in one" for travel. I suppose I must preface this review with the fact that I have olive/medium skin and dark hair so you have a baseline. The book itself is super cute, pink-metallic with little rhinestone gems on the cover. I'm not much of a girlie-girl, but this does make me smile when I reach for it. It has a nice strong magnetic clasp that keeps it held together, no snaps to break or bows to tie. Comes with 2 little concealers (pale and medium), a sweet translucent pink shimmery blus...

"Too Faced Mascara - Lash Injection "

After receiving two mini samples of Too Faced Mascara, one regular "Lash Injection" and the other "Lash Injection Pin Point" I really felt like I should advise others of my experience. I have to say I was blessed with wonderful lashes. Both dark and long, it really takes some work to make them look bad when I apply mascara. Unfortunately, Lash Injection was a real disappointment. First, they smell HORRIBLE. Really really bad. Now, I get that there is nothing in the ingredient list that would even attempt to mislead me that they should smell ...

"philosophy - Sugar Cookie Lip Shine "

If you have never heard of philosophy, you really need to check them out! All of their products are just to die for- the smells and textures are heavenly. Sugar Cookie, Vanilla Birthday Cake and Cinnamon Buns are my favorites, and wether you purchase these "flavors" as lip glosses, moisturizers or shower gels, you won't be disappointed. The lip glosses taste and smell so good it actually makes them hard to keep on- either you constantly lick your own lips or someone else does! The tubes last for ever, are super emollient ( which is great i...

"Getty Center, Los Angeles CA- Great Cheap Date!"

Not to be confused with the Getty Villa (also in LA), the Getty Center is a huge 4 building complex high on the hills above LA. They concentrate on a collection of art that ranges from the Middle Ages until today with great rotating exhibits on just about anything!  Each building is a work of art in itself- with walkways, balconies and breathtaking views of the city and ocean that rival with the art for attention. One of the best things about this museum is that you can go and spend all day in the gardens and outdoor cafes i...

"ICE! Exhibit at Gaylord Palms in Orlando FL"

Expensive, but worth it! $25 per person (not including tax) gets you into the exhibit and a free cup of hot chocolate.  I was a little miffed at the pricing but the experience was amazing! They keep the exhibit at 9 degrees so dress warm even though they give you a full length hooded winter parka. We were fortunate to bring hats and gloves and were really thankful! Imagine an indoor ice sculpture park- but as decadent and over -the-top as a Las Vegas show!  The exhibit stretches through several rooms, all themed and lar...

The Santa Barbara Botanical Gardens is a wonderful spot to spend a day!  A rarity in protected garden enclosures, visitors are welcome to bring dogs making it a friendly place to walk for hours with or without your pooch. Although these gardens are not a national or state park, they are dedicated to educational and scientific exploration and are a wealth of information on the climate changes and natural plants found all over California. My favorite thing about the Gardens is how it is sectioned off into areas ded...

I really do love Prevention Magazine and for so many reasons! First, they have nice brief bursts of information and because of that format, they are able to cover a wide range of topics in every issue. Second, they have a little bit of everything for anyone.  Third (and sometimes most important), the magazine dimensions are roughly the size of a paperback book, making it an awesome grab-and-go to read at the gym or waiting for appointments, fitting perfectly into a purse or gym bag.While the headlines change monthly you can ...
