My skin was horrible! I felt... Read More »

PLEASE! Do your research!

PLEASE! Do your research!

So, I have a confession to make, and it’s kind of a silly/nerdy confession. For anyone who read my first post, knows that I am an animal lover and I’m also a vet tech, so this is where my confession stems from. (And I just came from work so it’s weighing on my mind).  Probably my biggest pet peeve is when people buy a dog, and then decide a few months later that they don’t ... Read More »

Why Most People Don’t Know How To Use Eye Cream

Why Most People Don’t Know How To Use Eye Cream

  So I was kinda shocked when a few people I sold eye cream to, told me they had never used eye cream before – and they were in their 50s!  I started using it in college!  Well, a few of the eye cream virgins woke up with red irritated eyes that were puffy.  Turned out they were practically putting the eye cream in (or too close to) their eye!  So, I feel the need to help educate on how...
