Simple Lotion Review

September 10, 2009
I'm constantly trying new products on my face. Since having my children, my skin has gone completely cuckoo. Southern humidity creates quite a shine, while most products I use can really dry out my skin. I recently tried some new lotion from a company that I'm quickly falling in love with.

Simple Kind to Skin Purifying Cleansing Lotion is from the wonderful people at Simple in the UK. This company that has been around for more than 40 years creates skin care products that are actually good for your skin. All of their products are ph balanced to work in harmony with your skin and contain nothing but the good stuff. No harsh dyes, chemicals or perfumes are found in Simple's product lines. I like that.


The Purifying Cleansing Lotion is loaded with Pro-Vitamin B5 and left my skin feeling and looking better after the first time I used it. I've used other lotions on my face before and they all seemed to be fine but, really left me feeling a tad gunky. I like that the Simple lotion feels much thinner than other lotions I tried. I noticed that immediately. Obviously, because it is from Simple, there are no perfumes so, it's got a nice fresh scent. After applying it, I noticed my skin felt refreshed and softer but, not like I needed to wash it again.

The summers in the southern heat can be brutal on skin. The dry skin on my face will sometimes spread to just at my temples. This is a tough area. Too much lotion can leave my hair greasy and not enough lotion means dealing with dry skin. No lotion I had tried would work on the skin for longer than an hour or so and also leave my hair ungreasy. I applied the lotion from Simple to those areas and the skin just wasn't dry anymore. Because this lotion isn't greasy, my hair wasn't greasy. All the problem patches on my face were also smoothed and softened quickly and the relief lasted. I like that while it is soothing my dry skin, this lotion is also helping to cleanse and purify my face.

Simple Kind to Skin Purifying Lotion can be found in all of the Duane Reade stores throughout NYC and at duanereade.com. Duane Reade is the leading pharmacy store in New York City and constantly strives to bring the best products to it's customers. Stores will be carrying more of the Simple brand products soon.
 

PlasmaCar by PlaSmart

September 1, 2009
We have spent countless amounts of money on the batteries for our childrens' toys. The bigger the toy, the bigger the battery and the more expensive. I've often wondered how much money we could save if we could power their toys on their own energy. The inventors of the PlasmaCar are one step ahead of me.

When it comes to outdoor ride-on toys it can be difficult to find something that is simple enough for a 2 year old but, fun enough for an older child. The pedals are inevitably too small or t...

Simple Cleansing Wipes Review

August 14, 2009
I'll admit it. I'm fairly lazy when it comes to washing my face. I don't wear much makeup but, know that I should clean my face before I hit that bed at night. I need something fast and easy!

I recently had the pleasure of trying some new cleansing facial wipes. Simple Cleansing Wipes are wonderful! Not only is it quick and easy but, using these wipes leaves my face feeling super clean and refreshed. One swipe took off my makeup! Even when I'm not wearing makeup, it's nice to use these wipes ...

True Blue Morocco Collection Review

August 9, 2009
Let me tell you about my new obsession. Every time I walk out of my bathroom I have to grab a little of my Sweet Fig & Argan Body Lotion from the True Blue Morocco Collection at Bath and Body Works! My daughter is in love with it now too, and she's only 2!

When I received my sample of the lotion I was a little hesitant. I have just never been a lotion user. I don't like my skin to feel greasy. Here in south Texas your skin is usually greasy enough! I immediately loved the beautiful decorative...

Snog Lip Balm and Upper Canada Soap Review

July 27, 2009
Snog - (verb): A colloquial British/Australian expression referring to a passionate kiss.

What a genius name for a lip balm! Snog lip balm is a super hydrating balm that is small enough for those little pockets on your jeans. You know. The pockets you never do anything with! Not only is it cute and little, it makes your lips feel amazing. I've personally never been a fan of lip balms or chapsticks or lip gloss of any kind. I will admit that I was wary when I tried Snog. I was wrong! Seriously...

Boogie Wipes Review

July 9, 2009
I used to work in a daycare. Anyone who's ever worked in one or been in one knows that daycares and schools are the homes of some of the snottiest noses around. I was constantly wiping noses. No matter how soft, tissue eventually leads to irritation and can never get the really stubborn boogies! Like most moms, I've often used baby wipes on my own kids faces. I always disliked it, but arriving at your destination only to find your perfectly clean child now has a boogie stained face...well, th...

Snoogie Seat Review

July 7, 2009
When my daughter was an infant we had all the seating for babies. She spent time in her baby papason chair, boucy seat, bumbo and with a nursing pillow and blanket on the floor. I had problems with all of them. Putting her flat on the floor always seemed uncomfortable and the nursing pillow seemed really awkward on her neck. The bumbo was far too unsafe for her neck until she was much older. The chair and the seats were fine but a little high off the ground and way too unsturdy to set anywher...

Stoopher and Boots Review

June 19, 2009
Stoopher and Boots is a company out of NYC run by the wonderfully artistic Stephanie. Not only are her products unbelievably cute but they are affordable too! I could order custom shirts from her all day!

I decided to order a onesie for my brother's new baby boy. I sent Stephanie and email telling her the name of a very obscure band that my brother loves. She very quickly sent me back a proof of what the shirt would look like. It was perfect!

The onesies are high quality and come exactly as yo...
