Peeka-Bu Grooming Mirror: Make Your Primping Routine Easier

I love anything that makes my beauty routine easy and relaxing. I believe if you are comfortable while you apply your makeup, or try to groom or shave you do do a better job. It’s true for me:) This is why Peeka-Bu Grooming Mirror sounds like a great way to make your primping experience just a little better.

The Peeka-Bu Grooming Mirror will suction anywhere and has a long, flexible arm so you can maneuver it to the position you need to see. It’s also really great for travel. You can use it to suction to a hotel room desk near a window with natural lighting for easy make-up application. Peeka-Bu also serves as a wonderful aid to pregnant women or persons with disabilities.

How To Make Dry Feet And Heels Soft Again

As much as we all love summer, the constant flip flop and sandal-wearing can be rough on the heels – literally. Skyy Hadley of As “U” Wish Nail Spa has the perfect solution: a Meals for the Heels Mask.


Take one cup of regular oatmeal and 1/2 cup of regular milk and heat up over the stove, stir until cooked. Add sugar to thicken the mixture, and then let it cool off a bit. When the mix is thickened, apply to your feet. Leave the mask on for about 5 – 10 minutes. The oatmeal soothes dry, itchy or irritated skin, while the milk acts as an exfoliant to help get rid of dry and dead skin cells. Finish off with pure shea butter as a moisturizer and you’re all set.

Lisa Price Founder of Carol’s Daughter Interviews With Marta Walsh

I’ve been trying to interview Lisa Price the fabulous founder of Carol’s Daughter for quite some time now. And, finally, here it is!

I’m so excited to share with you Lisa’s story of  an incredible journey creating a sought after skincare and fragrance line: Carol’s Daughter.

In this interview Lisa Price talks to me about her fascination with fragrance. The Carol’s Daughter Philosophy. Why did she choose Jada Pinkett Smith and Mary J. Blige as the faces for her brand, and what’s new with Carol’s Daughter.

Marta Walsh: When did your fascination with skincare begin?
Lisa Price: It wasn’t so much a love for skincare as it was a love for fragrance which began when I was a little girl. I started creating my own scents and creams because I loved to experiment—it’s always been a hobby and passion of mine.

MW: At what point did your love for making your own skincare products in the kitchen turn into a promising business?
LP: After some time of working as a writing assistant for The Cosby Show, and creating personalized scents and products for the cast, my mom encouraged me to make a small batch to sell at a local church flea market. I nearly sold out on the first day!

MW: What is Carol’s Daughter philosophy?
LP: Every Carol’s Daughter product I create is made with love, and inspired by my own life. Each product is truly unique and created especially for my customers, who are part of the Carol’s Daughter family. The idea is not just about looking good, but feeling good inside and out, comforting your body and spirit. Carol’s Daughter is also about having a strong sense of family as well as love and respect for yourself and others.
