Royal Wedding: All About Kate

Friday April 29, 2011

Did you wake up at the crack of dawn to watch the Royal wedding live?  I personally didn't, but awoke to all of the pictures and video footage. How beautiful did Kate Middleton look?

If you didn't soak in enough Royal wedding information, here's a bit more for you.

Such a fun time for those of you who are engaged to be married.  Did you see anything in the wedding or on the wedding party that you'd like to incorporate into your wedding day?

Congratulations to the new bride and groom!

Wednesday April 27, 2011

If you have a few minutes on your hands, here's an idea that doesn't include reading the random-nothings on Facebook.  How about you weigh in on some of our Reader's Respond topics. Here's a few I picked out that you might consider adding your voice to.

New Reviews: Palmer's Skin Care

Monday April 25, 2011

Mary-Ellen Kramer is back with some new skin care product reviews for us.  If you're not familiar with Mary-Ellen, she's the one we turn to when there are sensitive skin products to be reviewed.  And she's quick to review products that she has purchased along the way in her search for a good sensitive skin product.

She's looking for skin care products that are non-irritating, work well and are compatible with her extremely fair and sensitive skin.  She's specifically looking for the product deliver results they promise on the label. (As we all are!)

The last three reviews she wrote are on Palmer's products.  Palmer's is a drugstore line that uses natural skin soothing Cocoa Butter.  The line is super-affordable and amazing-smelling. (Well, except one that she reviewed.)

Check out Mary-Ellen's bio, Palmer's reviews and the list of other products that she's reviewed for us.  And be on the look out for two more reviews coming soon: Pedegg and Heeltastic.
