Jamar Labs natural wipes for Hands, Faces and Feet

Monday, January 4th, 2010

As much as I like to ignore it, life in New York City can get pretty dirty.  I’ve often wished for something I could tuck in my purse for when a sticky situation arises (literally).  I was never comfortable with the idea of baby wipes, though – isn’t one of the benefits of being childless not having to lug those Huggies tubs around?

So, I was intrigued by Jamar Labs natural wipes.  They’re the only 100% natural cotton foot wipes and one of the only 100% natural cotton hand and face wipes that are powered with natural cleansing and moisturizing ingredients. Jamar wipes don’t contain Paraben and phthalate and they are biodegradable.

They come in separate, cute little pouches for hands, faces and feet and each has a unique scent.  I kept to the rules but someone more daring than I might use a hand wipe on their feet and see what happens – or the feet wipe on the face, egad!  Joking.

I really enjoyed these wipes and felt noticeably fresher as I pranced around town.  Thanks to Genea for passing some along to me to try!

LAVERE Lifting Serum Hydro-Gel

Monday, June 15th, 2009

LAVERE Anti-Aging by Lavera is celebrating its 20th anniversary and, as a result, I got to fight wrinkles.  Or rather, as I’m pretty young still, I got to preemptively fight wrinkles.

LAVERE Lifting Serum Hydro-Gel is a cute little bottle, and the gel is very gentle, unabrasive, not stingy and sweet-smelling.  It reminded me of aloe gel.  As I applied it for the first time, I was a little skeptical that something so benign would have much of an effect.

A day later, I already noticed a difference in my face.  My skin felt fresher, firmer and smoother.  This has continued as I’ve used it for several weeks now.  The 0.8 oz lasts for many, many applications.

Who knew fighting a preemptive war (against aging) could be so peaceful?!
