Head on, apply directly to the forehead

OK so I just have to say I love this stuff! I don't know how I ever lived without it. I have chronic headaches & migraines and after having the "Tylenol is not candy" discussion with my doctor yet again, one day he suggested I try "Head On". I have seen a lot of skeptical reviews out there about this product stating that it's basically just "wax" or that there is "no scientific data to support..." blah blah blah. All I know is that is works and I don't care if it is made from the tears of orphan children, I love it!!! (ok that was mean) It doesn't always make the headache go completely away, but it makes it so my eyeball doesn't feel like it's going to shoot out of my head and that, as Martha Stewart would say, is a good thing :)

Bobbi Brown's Buffing Grains

Posted by Nerd Swagga' , Labels: Friday, November 20, 2009 8:09 PM


I am one of those weird people who feels like if a face wash doesn't have those little scrubby things in them it's useless. A few months ago I got this really nice facial wash but it quickly got thrown to the back of the linen closet when I realized it didn't have those treasured little beads. Then while tripping through the web-o-sphere I came across Bobbi Brown's Buffing Grains absolutely freakin' genius! You can add them to any cleanser (or even just plain ol' water) for that nice exfoliating goodness. It's a little pricey, and I know you're probably thinking "why not just buy the face wash with the stuff already in it?" but I promise you it's totally worth it if say you have a favorite cleanser and you just want to give it a little oomph!

Lush...fresh handmade cosmetics

Ok, this place is one of my guiltiest pleasures. I was first introduces to Lush When my family went to Germany for the holidays a few years ago. I was unfortunately unable to make the trip, but my grams, who knows I love "smell goody" things, brought me back a little gifty from the Lush factory. Now I am hooked! and who wouldn't be with such awesome (and earth friendly) products.

Lush's "Sultana of Soap" is one of my guiltiest pleasures. It smells phenomenal, like fruit and almonds, and it makes your skin feel so soft. It is described as:
"One of our creamiest soaps, it's soft and delectable with the deep fruity and floral fragrance of olibanum and bergamot oils. We top it with dried apricots, dried currants and dried cranberries for luxurious soft exfoliation and rich nutrients. Sultana is a type of raisin and also means the wife of a Sultan; although this soap doesn't actually have any raisins, it does have a lot of other dried fruit, and it's rich enough to be the wife of a Sultan."
Yummy!
