It’s been so long since I’ve bought any new lipsticks or glosses (because most would agree I have enough for the entire state of Pennsylvania in my handbag right now.) But I came across tarte’s new Purse Your Lips and it was the ingredients in this product that caught my eye. As many people already know, my day job is at Pierce Mattie PR and Pierce and I recently comprised a list of the Top 10 Ingredients in Beauty for 2009. And guess what? tarte’s Purse Your Lips contains 3 of the 10 ingredients–acerola, acai and goji berries. These ingredients …read more

This week sure has felt like an eternity and was quite a struggle. After Brody was born, I found that I was experiencing some pain that on a scale of 1-10, was an 11.

I was a complete mess, as Brody couldn’t be with me in the hospital and the potent antibiotics meant no nursing. Depressed that …read more
