DIY Teeth Whitening

One of the most common complaints that people have about their teeth is that they’re discolored. So many things can affect the color of the teeth. Drinking soda, wine, coffee, smoking, and eating highly pigmented foods can all result in the yellowish tinge that everyone hates. If a person has some extra money to spend, they could always visit their dentist for a quick whitening treatment. Unfortunately, in this economy, most people don’t have the extra money to spend on teeth whitening and dental insurance doesn’t usually cover the cost. Read More

What is your acne telling you about your health?

I always knew that the once-monthly spots that overtook my chin were the result of not-so-stable hormones.

Buying Tips: Natural Anti-Aging Creams

Most natural beauty lovers know that they can't have (and don't want!) the same face they had at 20 when they are 45. That would be creepy, for one thing, and would also erase years of experience, smiles, and maybe even enjoying the sunny outdoors for a little longer than one is ‘supposed' to.
