Give Your Skin the Star Treatment on a Frugal Gal’s Budget

    I love the Olay Professional Pro-X Advanced Cleansing System. This little brush does wonders for my skin. I used to have a Clean and Clear blackhead eraser, but it was discontinued. I’ve always wanted a  Clarisonic brush, but at $150 I had to find  a frugal option. Since purchasing my Olay Professional Pro-X brush, I have received numerous comments on my skin looking great.

I wanted a product that would cleanse my hair without stripping my color.  Brilliance claims to maintain color, promote shine and strengthen your hair. The shampoo may or may not clean your hair. I can’t tell. I can say the conditioner leaves your hair...

Ooh La La Fabulous

Hair care products are a dime a dozen. Each and every product promises to make your hair stronger, healthier and stop a man dead in his tracks. What many women sadly discover is the hair care products they use are adding product build-up and leaving them with lifeless, limp hair. Martin (Mar-teen) Rodriguez saw a need in the hair care industry to create better hair care products everyone would love to use and in return love their hair. Rodriquez is the creator of Kalea Rose Hair Care. Rodriguez began working in the beauty industry at 17. Looking at him, you’d never know he’s been giving women the hair of their dreams for 31 years. What is the most common way women damage their hair? According to Rodriguez, “women do a lot of damage to their hair when they use flat irons, blow dryers and other hot styling tools without...
