Product Review: Crystal Light On-the-Go Packets
I recently tried the three new flavors Crystal Light added to their On-the-Go packets and I must say they taste great!

Some think facials are a luxury and some think they are a necessity. I used to think the former, but I'm becoming a firm believer of facials as a way to keep my skin clear and healthy.

How Long Does it Take You to Get Ready in the Morning?
I’m not a morning person, so getting ready in the mornings can be tough for me. I manage to get ready in 30 to 45 minutes and this is usually when I'm keeping it simple. My hair is curly so all I have to do is put some product in my hair or freshen up my style from the day before and I’m all set.
