This blog is dedicated to my husband who sees my imperfections and doesn't mention them.

I love trying new beauty products. Place me in a Sephora or Ulta store and I feel I am in paradise. For hours I can pleasantly entertain myself looking at the plethora of different shampoos, facial washes, makeup and perfumes, envisioning myself as a size 0 with glowing clear skin, no split ends, and being stopped by every man in America asking “What’s that scent you are wearing? (Ok, maybe not EVERY man)

One of my downfalls , as my mother will readily tell you, is that I am a sucker for cool packaging and intriguing ingredients. That inclination has resulted in trying hundreds of different products over the years – good and bad. Some products I have used ever since I was in college and I would rather exit the house with no makeup and hairy arm pits then see my fav end up on the proverbial chopping block. Others I have readily discarded vowing never again to be duped by flowery ingredients which deliver zero results.

Because of my “beauty product love”, I probably have more knowledge roaming around in my head than Wikipedia. So I decided to start this blog to share my adventures with you on the quest for beauty, giving my recommendations and warnings so your money can be well spent. The subject matter may be a tad vain, but ultimately every woman has an innate desire to look and feel her best and there is nothing wrong with that. Happy reading, and if you don’t come for my daily blabberings at least drop by for my contest giveaways that I hope to do every other month.


Crystal Nail Files


Move over emory boards!  There is a better nail file in town called the crystal nail file. Also known as a glass nail file, this type of file is made of crystallized glass and has two etched sides.  There are many companies and professional salons that sell crystal nail files, but some of the best and more unusual crystal files I have seen can be found at: czech-glass-nail-files.com. This site, called Mont Bleu Design, has a wide variety of crystal nail files which include Swarovski crystals, hand-painted motifs, and semi-precious natural stones.   A couple of my favorites include the FLOWER collection as well the BLACK crystal collection.  These nail files are beautifully designed in Prague and are made of high quality Czech tempered glass.  There are several reasons why I like these nail files better than others.  They are stronger and don’t wear down as easily.  They are also completely sanitary and can improve the overall health of the nail.  They are also versatile,  as they can be used for removing calluses or even filing your pet’s claws.  Best of all, these crystal nails files are beautiful to look at and make great gifts.  If you are looking for a better nail file to improve the look of your natural or artificial nails, check out Mont Bleu Design and elevate your nails to an all new level of beauty.
