Joe Fresh Coral Nail Polish Review - a pleasant surprise!

While procrastinating one day at the grocery store I nipped over to the cosmetics section and found this great coral polish by Joe Fresh.  I usually only buy O.P.I. and Essie but for only $4 I thought I'd give this one a shot.  It's not the same quality as high end nail polishes, but it's WAY better than I expected. 

Pros:
-Great color, this would look good on any skin tone.

-Long lasting, I'm talking a pedi lasting two weeks sans chipping.

-Affordable at only $4.

Cons:

-Streaky, I applied three coats for even color and coverage.

 
Not only did this little bottle brighten up an otherwise dreary grocery shopping trip, I was pleasantly surprised overall by this drugstore nail polish.  Great value, I will be sporting this beautiful coral all summer on my toes.  This will not be my last Joe Fresh nail polish, next time I'm going for their 3 for $10 deal. 

Best Recovery Drink - Coconut Dream Chocolate Review

Mmmmmm.....I chug a cold glass of this after every run and yoga class.  So creamy, not watery like some other brands.  So chocolatey, it looks like a glass of chocolate milk and tastes pretty darn close.  Just a hint of coconut.  It's packed with lots of vitamins, a perfect recovery drink.  Also satisfies chocolate cravings.

The Top 12 Products That Are ALWAYS In My Bathroom

These are 12 of my all time FAVORITE products.  Products I can't live without and have continuously replaced every time I use them up.  These are my fail-safes, never let me down supplies that are always in my bathroom. 

1.  Montagne Jeunesse - A "cheap and cheerful" drugstore find, I stock up on these for $1.87 each at Wal Mart.  I use these twice a week to keep my pores clean.  They don't "burn" like some masques do, all very soothing for my sensitive skin.  The cloth ones are super easy if you don't feel like dealing with taking off the mud.  

2.  Bare Essentuals Deep Cleansing Foam - I switched from Clinique's Acne Solutions Foaming Cleanser to this, and it's been more effective in the relentless acne battle.  You only need a little, one tube lasts me about 10 months.  It lathers nicely and doesn't dry out my skin. 

Matt & Nat Hendrix Bag Review

Matt & Nat Hendrix bag in shell

Live beautifully?  Yes please.

Ordered this little gem from beyondtherack.com . This is my second Matt & Nat bag and it did not disappoint; excellent quality and unique style.  The three zipper V's and heavy clips make it rock and roll (hence, Hendrix) and the sophisticated color and chain make it elegant.  LOVE this combination.  

My Hendrix bag is in shell, a lovely light neutral beige that goes with everything. It comes with two lengths of chains (straps), which adds to the bags versatility.  Also includes one of their storage bags. 


Hendrix would totally wear this.  If he were alive.  And a woman.
