Wordless Wednesday: My First Julep Maven Box

If you’ve never heard of Julep Maven before, it is a monthly service where for $19.99 (with free shipping), you will receive a box containing toxin-free nail polishes and cutting-edge mani and pedi products that are personalized to your style. It is a really great program if you love receiving and trying out new nail polishes.

The colors (from left to right):

Jodie (deep rose with a golden shimmer)
Melissa (sheer opalescent shimmer adds a soft glow when used alone and a high-fashion holographic effect when used over another color)
Charlotte (demure lavender creme. Sophisticated with a twist)
Leah (grass green with a hint of shimmer); a freebie from the Julep St. Patrick’s Day promotion

5 Essential Beauty Tips to Minimize Wrinkles

We’ve all been there. We look in the mirror one day and realize that not one, not two, but multiple wrinkles have popped up seemingly overnight! Fortunately, there are a few proactive things that you can do to prevent premature wrinkles first of all and to minimize any fine lines that have already made their appearance.

Wear sunblock often. If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a thousand times… But what really matters is the type of sunblock that you are wearing to protect your skin from sun damage and premature wrinkles. It’s best to wear a sunblock that protects against the UVA and UVB rays of the sun, which are responsible for aging and burning.

You only need to wear a sunblock of SPF 50 at the maximum since the FDA recently banned sunscreen …

Giveaway: Experience Piggy Paint’s Non-Toxic, Odorless, Kid-Friendly Nail Polish (Closed)

This giveaway is now closed.

We absolutely love Piggy Paint’s non-toxic, odorless, kid-friendly nail polishes; in fact, we’d go as far as to say that it is a must-have! Most little girls love to play dress up and chances are, if your child has ever seen you paint your fingernails or toenails, they are asking if you can paint theirs next. However, due to the amount of harsh chemicals used in standard nail polishes, you’ve probably refrained from painting your child’s nails, especially if they bite their fingernails. Thankfully, Piggy Paint has created a completely safe way to paint your child’s nails so you can worry no more because Piggy Paint nail polishes are non-toxic, odorless, and completely kid-friendly!
