Fab-Fit-Frugal, bentonite clay and skin
As I get older, a few things have happened when it comes to my beauty routine. My product junky-ism gets worse and I increasingly rely on all natural, affordable remedies. A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay. She loved it. Couldn't stop talking about it. Wouldn't stop talking about it. So I finally bought a jar from Whole Foods for about $6 or $7.
It was the best beauty decision I ever made.

uses for witch hazel, witch hazel and skin
For as long as I can remember, I've had oily, acne prone skin. And I've also tried a variety of products, from dermatologist prescribed topical treatments to serums, creams and peels sold over the counter.
But one product I come back to over and over again is witch hazel. Per Web MD, it "contains chemicals called tannins. When applied directly to the skin, witch hazel might help reduce swelling, help repair broken skin, and fight bacteria."
It's also just a few dollars and a must have in every bathroom, whether you have problem skin, puffy eyes or irritation.

lauren conrad dress, a-line dress

I know some people who wear vintage from head to toe. There's nothing wrong with that, but I love mixing a touch of vintage with contemporary threads. And that's exactly what I did last weekend. I've become kinda obsessed with Kohl's since I used a pair of their brocade shorts for my last Today Show appearance. And in particular, I've become a fan of the LC Lauren Conrad line. From the jeans to the tops and especially the dresses, the pieces are flirty, sweet and super feminine.So I was excited when I was sent this Lauren Conrad for Kohl's dress. It's A-line {a flattering shape for all sizes} and has adorable cut outs at the top.
