Bubbly Babies: A gentle, vegan shampoo for kids

by Delilah S. Dawson | Baby

With a second grade mermaid in my house who hates showers but loves her long hair, I often find myself at sea when selecting a shampoo and just found it with a wonderful new 100% vegan shampoo for kids. Most baby shampoos aren’t qualified to care for big kid...

An anti-aging cream from Lumene skin care that gives us one more reason to look forward to bedtime.

by Liz Gumbinner | Beauty + Cosmetics

It was suuuuper fun sitting down with an aesthetician last week when she asked what kind of beauty products I was interested in, and I had to pause and mutter, “Uh….anti-aging cream I guess.” Though considering anti-aging beauty products are being...

Salma Hayek Nuance Makeup Remover gets us over our fear of celebrity cosmetics

by Liz Gumbinner | Beauty + Cosmetics

I’m not usually one for celebrity cosmetics or perfumes. I always wonder how much they actually have to do with the development, beyond licensing their names. And I’d definitely be a little sheepish if I knew a houseguest was poking through my medicine...

Terrific organic skin care for babies, moms, and women who used to be babies.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

If you smell something delicious that’s like a cross between a creamsicle, a vanilla candle, and springtime (in the best possible way), it’s probably me. That’s because I’ve been using the organic skin care products from Summer Sky Organics....

A natural, foaming hand soap with all the watermelon scent, none of the pits.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Baby

I’ve been an avowed Mrs. Meyers fan ever since they let me run around in their laboratory, mixing up eco-conscious cleaning products and dabbing the basil fragrance behind my ears. My kids are fans now, too, as there’s nothing they love as much as their...

6 non-toxic shampoos for babies and kids we can’t live without, in every price range.

by Kate Etue | Baby

Trymbl: Free beauty samples from a smart new online boutique

by Kate Etue | Beauty + Cosmetics

I am totally a fan of free beauty samples–isn’t everyone? After all, my days are filled with more soccer games and ballet practices than they are with leisurely shopping excursions where I can try out the latest, greatest beauty products, making it hard to...

GlamGlow Mud: Like an expensive spa treatment, without the whole going to a spa part.

by Kate Etue | Beauty + Cosmetics

My mom started taking me to get facials when I was in middle school. Every month or so, we’d go to the spa at the gym where we had a membership, I think in an effort to avoid having to take me to a dermatologist. It worked, and I got hooked on that feeling of...

Kidscounter: Non-toxic shampoo for kids that we love. Even if they make your kid want to eat a creamsicle.

by Melissa | Baby

I don’t know about you, but I feel like I’ve tried tons of kid’s shampoos, with mixed reviews from my kids. While there are many non-toxic shampoos for babies and kids these days, it’s been hard to find a scent that speaks to my sons, who hate...

A fantastic option for winter skin relief, besides a trip to a different climate.

by Delilah S. Dawson | Beauty + Cosmetics

I still remember reading an article in Cosmo in my twenties and laughing at the thought of eye wrinkles. I’m not laughing anymore. When I resolved to be better to my skin in the new year, I spent an hour at the health food store, reading packages and selecting...
