It is no secret that I am addicted to my lip products. But here is a list of my favorite lip products that are all under twenty-five dollars! Budget friendly and perfect for the average gal these are all awesome products.
Burt’s Bees Lip Products
I have used Burt’s Bees products ever since I was in grade school and even now I still love them. They are 100% good for you and never fail to work their wonders.
Softlips Pearl Lip Gloss
This soft frosty pink lip gloss is perfect for any event. It doesn’t chap your lips rather it only protects them from harmful sun rays as well as making them look perfect.
EOS Lip Balm
Is it any secret that I am EOS’s biggest fan? I pretty much only use their lip balm and I gave them out as gifts this Christmas. Their lip balm is good for you and it makes your lips look and feel amazing.
tarte Lip Tint
I love tarte’s products. And their lip tints are probably the most awesome product that they have made (besides their foundation!) and with so many different colors to choose from you are sure to find a awesome match. Your lips will be left fuller, softer, and more supple then ever.
CoverGirl Lipstick
I have yet to try the new CoverGirl blast lipstick, but I am a huge fan of all their old brands and I know that this one is going to be awesome as well!
What are your favorite lip products?

When Earth Brands offered me a chance to review a pair of shoes from their Spring 2012 collections I jumped at the chance! I am a self-proclaimed shoe addict and when the shoes are natural and eco-friendly it makes all the difference to me!
These shoes are sophisticated and under $100 and are complete with a comfortable heel that doesn’t kill your feet! I love that they have a comfort foot bed to help re-enforce the arch. Not only are these shoes cute and comfortable and they have a great size range as well.
I chose The Largo to review. This lovely shoe is about 2.48″ in height which is perfect for someone like me who is 5’7. I spent some time on my feet while wearing these babies and they where completely comfortable. Maybe alot more so then your average heel as the leather is very soft and supple. They didn’t rub my feet at all and I’m thinking that once I break them in some more I am going to have one awesome pair of heels! I do wish that the heels had a strap, but they are great just the way they are. 
The heels are really solid, but at the same time feel so light. It doesn’t even feel like I am wearing heels at all!
I can’t say enough good things about these shoes. I am looking forward to wearing these shoes all spring and summer long. They are perfect for any occasion.
Earth Brands has a ton of other shoes in their Spring 2012 Collection and there is one for any occasion whether that is hiking or a wedding. Be sure to like them on Facebook to stay up to date on great contests and more!

After a long winter Spring is finally here and with it comes beach season. I know that like most of you I personally am out of shape and I want my body back! So I thought that I would share these great tips from Kimberly Snyder, celebrity nutritionist and author of The Beauty Detox Solution. Stay away from these five foods to stay bikini ready all spring!
1. Fried chicken
Made from conventional chicken laden with hormones and antibiotics, covered with gluten-containing breading and chemicals like MSG and salt, and fried in cheap, rancid oils, fried chicken is high in calories, fat, and other chemicals that can make you sick. Skip it altogether. Please, please just never eat fried chicken.
2. Deep fried cheese sticks
Take cheese (loaded with fat, salt, hormones and antibiotics), bread it, and deep fry it. How does that even sound as if it might be “food”? Skip them and have some veggie sticks with hummus, instead.
3. Fish and chips
Many people select this as a “healthy” alternative in fast food, but it is anything but that. Fish serves as a sponge that mops up all of the toxic chemicals from the sea. Bread it in wheat flour (gluten) and fry it up, and you’re looking at an unhealthy meal. Avoid fish unless you know where it comes from, and opt for a salad instead.
4. Pepperoni pizza
Cheese and white flour combined with nitrosamine-containing salty processed meats, pizza is toxic and unhealthy. Why not try some brown rice or quinoa pasta with tomato sauce instead?
5. Nachos
Corn chips loaded with cheese, meat and beans and then dipped in sour cream? Really?? Dairy, hamburger, salt, and GMO corn are just a few of the health issues associated with this high fat, high calorie snack. Instead, have some vegetable sticks dipped in salsa.

My nails. Don’t even get me started on them. They are horrible. For some unknown reason they chip, break, don’t grow, and look horrible. I suppose it doesn’t help that I’m very active, use my hands alot, and work with animals. But whatever. SO I was thrilled when Erin (the totally amazing rep!) offered to send me some products from Qtica to test out.
Not only do these products work, but they are all natural! AND they don’t test on animals. I am thrilled and in love. YAY!!!
First off the nail growth simulator. I can see why it is the top rated nail growth product. After using it for several weeks my nails are currently on the mend and look pretty good! They aren’t super duper long, but they aren’t as fragile as they were before I started using this product. I’m in love with it.
This Hydrating Lotion smells so good. Your nails and hands will thank you after every use. They will feel hydrated, refreshed, and ready to tackle anything! I love it.
I simply adore the Intense Cuticle Repair Balm My cuticles look so nice and pretty. It does a great job of repairing damaged cuticles (like mine!) You will be amazed at the difference! I love how smoothly it goes on and how it’s all natural. Bonus!!!
What are you wating for? Go check these products out at- www.qtica.com
Qtica was nice enough to offer to send me these products to test out. This review is 100% honest. How could I lie about these great products?

Lotion. I’m a lotion addict. I own bottles of it and I have tested hundreds of brands. And while I have several favorites, I’m always on the lookout for a good lotion. And I recently found one. It’s called Udderly Smooth.
Udderly Smooth is an all natural alcohol free lotion. The best part? It’s non greasy. I’ve been using it for the past few weeks and have been amazed at the difference in my hands. Even though they are almost always soft, now they feel like silk.
The lotion absorbs very quickly into my hands and it smells really good! I love how long it lasts. It doesn’t rub off easily at all. It is everything that it is claimed to be.
The name is quirky, but I think it’s cute. The only bad thing? I don’t care for the packaging. I think that I would prefer it in a hand-pump of some sort, but the lotion itself makes up for that.
Udderly Smooth has plenty of products to choose from so visit them on the web. And be sure to like Udderly Smooth on Facebook as well! They are always hosting fun contests.
I was sent a sample in exchange for my honest thoughts about this lotion. I was completely honest in my review. How could I lie to you?

I recently fell in love with the most amazing store. They are called Lush Cosmetics and they sell 100% natural and organic cosmetics and skin care products.
They were nice enough to send me three of their yummy products to review and let me introduce you to them….
The first product is the Godmother Soap
I am in love with this soap. It’s fruity, sweets, and and yummy. It lathers up really well and my skin feels SO clean and smooth after I use it. I’m in love with it.
The second product is the Fair Trade Foot Lotion
I’m a runner and on top of that I’m always on my feet. And my poor tootsies suffer for it. Thankfully this lotion came to my rescue. My feet feel so much better. This has a light bubble gum scent that I love. It’s so sweet and it is so soothing.
And the final product is the You’ve Been Mangoed Bath Melt
I love Mango. I love the taste, scent and flavor. And this bath melt fixes my mango addiction. Your skin will feel amazing after you use it! My only problem? I want it to come in a full sized soap bar because I LOVE the scent!
I am so impressed with Lush Cosmetic’s and I love their company. They ship really fast and you won’t be disappointed with them.
Be sure to check out Lush Cosmetic’s other products at LushUSA.com and at stores nationwide.
The product for this review was provided to us free of charge for the purpose of product testing. This does not effect our opinion of the products in any way. We only write about products we personally like and use, regardless of how they were acquired.
