The American Cancer Society estimates that nearly 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the U.S. in 2008 and approximately 15,000 will die from it.

False and Lovely: Broadway Nails Real Life French Nail Kit
Okay, I’ll confess that there have been times that I have strolled by the nail aisle at the drugstore and press-on nails have caught my eye. I’ve even picked up a package and quickly shoved it back on the shelf after flashbacks to my Barbie Dream House days when I owned an entire purple plastic […]

Problem Solved: New Bliss 20-in-1 Wonder Balm
Now that I’ve become the official fountain of beauty knowledge among my friends and family, I get the strangest questions. Take for example, the emergency call I got yesterday morning from a friend. “I’ve burned my eyes,” she said. “Huh? What? How? Shouldn’t you seek professional medical advice?” I answered. “I used that tightening mask […]
What Are You Eating? Ask LABELWATCH
Ever wondered exactly what’s in that “health” drink you’re sipping on? I certainly have. I recently ended my long love affair with a certain vitamin-fortified water when I realized that I was drinking rather than eating most of my daily calories. But it’s not just the calories that are scary. The ingredients are another story. […]

St Ives Takes on Cellulite
Before I spout off on my latest fabulous product find, let me first relay a quick tale about the hazards of being a product junkie. On my way out the door to a meeting a few days ago, I grabbed what I thought was my Salud Spa Bar Body Mist and spritzed myself generously from […]
The 10K Spa Day
When we first got wind of the $10K Spa Day at The Lamar Everyday Spa, our initial reaction was what cough syrup is the spa owner sipping and how do we get our hands on it? But on closer inspection of the pricey proposition, we reconsidered our position. In fact, we think the owner might […]

The Almond Milk Effect: New Tone Almond Milk Body Wash
According to a CBS News report I caught this morning, the “latte effect” is a term coined nearly a decade ago that means consumers tend to cut out little luxuries like fancy coffee drinks when their economic shoestrings get pulled too tight. Apparently the latte effect is back in full froth, and the report went […]
