When I came across Clearstem Skincare, a clean skincare brand that fights acne and signs of aging, I crossed my fingers in hopes that their products would live up to their promise. Spoiler Alert: the hype is warranted. Their products didn’t disappoint. **Please note that I recruited my sister Rose to test these products. Her skin type is oily, with occasional acne flares with larger pores. I thought her review of the Clearstem products would be helpful- so note that all reviews are hers** *Affiliate Disclosure: I do have affiliate links in this blog post.

I’ve been upping my oral health game lately so I decided to give natural mouthwashes a closer look. Usually when we think of mouthwash, we think of a minty power wash like Listerine, but most natural mouthwashes are so much more than a one trick pony. *Affiliate Disclosure: I do have affiliate links in this blog post.

Let’s face it, dry, flaky lips are unsightly and not the canvas we want to work with when applying lip gloss or lipstick.

Painting nails is part of the Mommy/daughter bonding experience, but who wants to create a spa-like experience in the garage? How is it that opening a small bottle of nail polish can leave such a big smell in its wake?
