Sometimes, we need a really great one-two punch to get the job done.
I’ve found just that in Philosophy Hope In A Jar and Eye Hope.
It really is a powerful pairing, it includes a great anti-aging eye cream as well as a super hydrating (and super popular) moisturizer.
Hope In A Jar is meant to help with everything from wrinkles to rough textures, but I love it for just plain hydrating my dehydrated skin. I swear to you ladies (and any gents who read this), my skin GLOWS when I use it regularly.
Eye Hope is from the same family, it  is an …read more

My lips need therapy.
And that’s not just because they are currently getting less attention than they deserve, but no matter what my current state of single entails, I still want my lips to be perpetually kissably soft!

Philosophy’s Kiss Me Tonight is fab. It worked pretty much the minute I put it on to soften my rough areas, and to relieve dryness. I do not have guilt over my dry lips – it’s nothing I’m doing wrong! I drink plenty of water, and all that jazz. But at last, I know I’m doing something extra-right:  Even my fine lines are gone!

Life stress has robbed me of sleep the last three nights, and I look something like a walking blonde zombie.
I have found hope though (and from the same people who gave me Hope in a Jar!). Philosphy’s Eye Hope is meant to provide – well – hope for skin tissue around the eye area.
This product is great for sensitive skin and also has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin, and even brighten skin tone. It’s really awesome – you must try it!

Since busting out of my one fragrance mode last year, I realized that I don’t “have” to stick with one or two fragrances.  I don’t know what it is about me that gets in such a rut with things, but I have realized lately that I am very much this way – I carry one purse til it dies, and wear one watch til it dies.  Crazy.  I am missing out on a lot here!
Anyway, I have been using Philosophy’s Amazing Grace for a couple of weeks now, and I really like it – it is very light, summery, …read more
