Do you have dry skin? I do, my skin is like an alligator in the winter, dry flakies everywhere! I try to exfoliate once a week but the key is a good moisturizer to go with that. Aveeno is AMAZING at coming up with great products that get the job done at a reasonable price. [...]
How can you miss reality star turned supermogul Bethenny Frankel? First she was an author making her mark in the publishing industry with several popular self help books.

My skin is ALWAYS dry, so to overcompensate for my atrocities I have to use THICK body creams year round (small sacrifice in my opinion). BUT [...]
Hello beauty queens, Stasi here to tell you a little story…when I was little I was very girly and LOVED the smell of lavender, lemons, orange blossoms and roses. (Still do!) So much so, that I went on a quest to find soap, perfume, sachets and everything else with the strongest aromas possible. I found [...]
You all know of my tales of woe with my super dry skin…well I have a great solution for you in the form of a tried and true product in a new formulation. Kiehl’s Creme De Corps Soy Milk & Honey Whipped Body Butter [$35] is a TMG Faves item and a must have on my [...]
