I’ve been blogging for over a year now and I still don’t have a clue what my cuticles do apart from ruining my Talon Tales posts… *hmph* They say: Burt’s Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Cream gives your needy nails a helping hand. Nourish and moisturise nails and cuticles with this intensive, natural treatment. A touch of lemon oil makes your nails smell incredibly clean, healthy and beautiful, naturally. I say: Oh cuticles, y u straggle and make my nails look so grimy?  My friend Brittany told me that you were supposed to push them back or snip them off… This lead to the following chain of …

I will start off by saying that this post was inspired by Andy of Pampered Prince’s post of a similar nature.  As I reviewed the F&R balm on Saturday, I thought it would be interesting to do my own spin of it – especially as this month is all about natural and cruelty free alternatives. You can all put down your pitchforks now, and get comfortable. I do want to say a big fat SORRY for being AWOL yesterday – the internet at my home is shocking and only one of us can go on at a time.. so if …

Figs and Rouge Wild Cherry Balm

Put down that Vaseline! They say: Ultra-hydrating & Multi-tasking. Figs and Rouge 100% Natural – Nourishing Balm keeps lips delicious & super soft throughout the day. I say: I had seen Figs and Rouge floating around on a few blogs and it wasn’t long before I had given into the hype. It’s inevitable. There is no point in me attempting to fight it any more. I suffer with dry, scabby, completely unattractive lips and most lip balms just do not work.

Now the products I will be talking about won’t be ridiculously expensive or hard to find.  I wanted to talk about products that you can go out and buy right now.  There is a misconception that natural/cruelty free = hard to find and expensive – not at …
