Happy new year, Readhead readers! Today I'd like to talk about one of the topics I get asked about most frequently - hyperpigmentation and lasers. First, let's get a few basic vocabulary terms out of the way that will make this review easier to understand: Epidermis: made of up five layers of skin (although there [...]
Product Review: Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation
On the day-to-day I am a minimal makeup kind of gal. More because my skin is like a 3 year old toddler waiting to have a tantrum so when it's sleeping (acting like an angel) I will do whatever I can to not wake the beast. However, when I have a glam party or something [...]

I tried it: The Vampire Facial
I am always on the hunt for something that will address my skin issues: hyperpigmentation, pores/acne, texture and anti-aging. So when I learned more about the benefits of microneedling, and more specifically microneeding with PRP (also known as the Vampire Facial made famous by the Kardashians) I knew this was something right up my alley. [...]
Product Review: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hydrating Lip Shine
I switched out my purse and found this gloss that I had stashed in a side pocket. I was in a messy bun on one of my few low-key days looking like I rolled out of bed. I was feeling particularly dehydrated and thought "why not" so I decided to be a bit extra on [...]
Product Review: The Ordinary 30% AHA + 2% BHA Peeling Solution
BOO! Nope, it's not your friend's gory Halloween makeup, it's The Ordinary's 30% AHA + 2% BHA peeling solution! I posted a picture of myself on Facebook and immediately got questions on PRP (or the vampire facial), getting into a fight with a cheese grater, a chimney sweep and my favorite - my husband proclaiming [...]
Put down the polish. Great nails start here
Search the interwebs and you will find countless postings about what your nails can be telling you about your health. I happen to like some of the fun facts found in this Huffington Post write-up. The short of it is, your nails are made out of proteins and a host of other amino acids. Your [...]
Product Review: Dr. Jart Dermaclear Trans-foam Clay Trio
As someone who loves Korean skincare, I'm definitely a Dr. Jart fan. My love with the brand started when my skin went haywire and still needed protection, so I tried the Dr. Jart Premium Beauty Balm. With all the options in my arsenal, this is the one I still use today. Pretty impressive coming from [...]
Blondes have more fun with purple shampoo
If you'll notice on my blog, my reviews skew heavily towards skincare products. There's minimal mentions of haircare. Why is that? Well because I've been blessed with hair that doesn't need a ton of attention - until I started lightening it. And then my mind was blown. And I'm still getting acclimated. There is a [...]
