Ren Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial Review
I am always on the lookout for a fast and easy facial fix! This 1 Minute Facial boasts the ability to instantly revitalize and noticeably rejuvenate the skin. I thought the morning after a night out would be the perfect time to test it and the 1 Minute fit right into my schedule last Saturday morning! It went on smooth and clear. It was not overly heavy, but I could feel it on my face. Ren Flash Rinse 1 Minute Facial had no odor. Then...
Fall = UGGs!
Now that it is cooler, it is time to trade those flip flops in for those cozy UGGs. There is something so nice about slipping your feet into these sweet, comfortable boots. My bestie’s mom found the UGGs pictured above. Loving the button with the fringe work! Totally want but did not have time to go and get them. So I found them online! Thank heaven for the internet! Check them out: UGG Azalea Ok, I know I am way to matchy matchy, but...
Review of Urban Decay All Nighter
Recently I was invited to a wedding that lasted from 2:30 pm until midnight! I knew it was going to be an amazing event and I did not want to miss any of it, especially not for make-up touch-ups (which I thought would be necessary for such a long day!). I went to Sephora hoping they would have just the thing for me, and they did! Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray entered my life! At first I was totally skeptical. But since...
Trend Alert: Loafers are back!
I can remember my first pair of penny loafers bought by my grandmother for me. She excitedly gave me two shiny pennies to put right in there! I can also remember putting them on and how stiff and uncomfortable they were! But we had to have our loafers for school. They were not my favorite to say the least! So I was hesitant when they recently made a comeback on ALL of the fashion runways. I decided to go to the experts to find out...

Time To Shop for Boots & Cardigans!!
Today is the first day where our temperature has cooled down enough that all I can think about are boots and sweaters!! Finally Fall has come to SoCal!! The breeze feels amazing, the sun is rising a little bit later, and a lovely glass of red wine is waiting for me this afternoon with a nice fire to be lit in the fireplace! Of course I will need a nice cardigan to keep me warm, and maybe some new boots for my fall fashion!! I found...
Brilliant Wine
Recently I posted a study on my Facebook page in regards to wine being better for us than going to the gym! While this is amazing news, I think we should take a deeper look into what wine does! The Latin Times reports: “Jason Dyck and other science researchers in the University of Alberta in Canada found that red wine, nuts and grapes have a complex called resveratrol which improves heart, muscle and bone functions; the same way...
The Aspirin Mask
We all love skin care products that use medicinal plants like witch hazel or ginseng. But who knew that aspirin could also have such big beauty advantages? I love and use my recipe for an Aspirin Mask weekly (ok, and if I overdid the night before!). What is An Aspirin Mask? An aspirin mask is a DIY mask that you make from uncoated aspirin. It has been around for ages and is tested and proved to help acne, clogged pores, blemishes...
Yellow Raspberries
Our new find this past weekend at our farmer’s market – Yellow Raspberries! http://t.co/QsOcMXbnn4 #farmersmarket pic.twitter.com/MrMZztkaoT — Malibu Mama Loves (@MalibuMamaLoves) September 15, 2014 I had never seen them before. I asked if I could try one and the farmer was very kind and pointed to sample plate he had out!! Oops, I should have looked first!! They were definitely a bit more sour than red raspberries, but...
Tantalizing Teff
On our trip to the Malibu Farmer’s Market this past Sunday I discovered something new to me, and it seems, new to America! Teff! Teff is a gluten-free whole grain that is the seed of an Ethiopian grass. It has been a staple of the country of Ethiopia for thousands of years and is now quickly climbing up the American food chart to super-grain status! This grain is packed with power giving us high concentrations of a few vitamins,...
