There are product lines that hook you with their high quality botanical ingredients and superior formulas, and then there are product lines that reel you in with their luscious, dreamy fragrances. Osmia Organics does both, which is one reason that I’ve gifted more Osmia products to friends and family (and myself) over the years […]

  Until recently, my manicures and pedicures were drying out my nails. Specifically, the nail polish remover I’d picked up from Whole Foods was drying out my nail beds. Before that I had used a soy-based polish remover from another nail line that was very oily, but still felt a little stripping and still required […]

  Over the last few years the market has become pretty saturated with face oils to the extent that I—the self-proclaimed face oil queen—find myself casually shrugging off many new releases.

Aluminum is what traditionally makes deodorants “antiperspirant”, but aluminum […]

  Do you get the summer frizzies? Does your hair act like an untamed animal when the humidity kicks in? I live in an area of the country where the humidity is thick, even swampy at times. In addition, it has been one of the rainiest summers we’ve had in a while. I frequently wake […]
