Name: Ruth K. Wassinger Age: 59 A Surviving “Affair” My husband had four different women in his life for almost a year. Their names were Zsa Zsa, Rachelle, Ava, and Sassy. Sassy was actually only a “one-day stand. “ Most women wouldn’t be tolerant of their husbands having these “affairs.” but I was perfectly content. My bilateral mastectomy December 11, 2007 was followed by six sessions of chemotherapy from January 4-April 18, 2008. There was little that I was in control of othe... Read Full Story

I hope you aren’t one of those people who neglects their feet all winter long simply because you can hide them in your socks. (You’re not, right?)

I have had a long love hate relationship with liquid makeup removers. I’ve tried so many, been disappointed by the greasy oil slick they left behind went on to try others…fell in love with Korres Jasmine Makeup Remover, but couldn’t afford the $22 pricetag of late and with how I have been traveling over the last few months, liquid just isn’t feasible. So when I was approached to try Pond’s Wet Cleansing Towelettes, my interest was piqued by the thought of a simpl... Read Full Story

Guest beauty review from Morgan Cecil: I found the White Sands Hydrating Shampoo & Conditioner to be pretty good, if not great. I liked the scent of it (very girly, but not overpowering) and the color in my hair has seemed to last longer (I dye it a chestnut brown), which is really important to those of us who color our hair. The shampoo and conditioner says that the “Color Intelligent ensures protection of color treated hair and neutralizes the oxidative radicals generated by dail... Read Full Story

Daylight savings is happening again this weekend. I dread this time of year when the days grow shorter. It is a bit depressing leaving work after it gets dark. Yes, I am in denial that summer is finally over. But to appease the winter blues I turn to my tried and true solution for windswept, beachy, sexy tousled hair, Bumble and Bumble’s Surf Spray. Surf Spray is a styling lotion that adds volume and texture. The easy breezy days of summer sunshine captured in a bottle! I have straight ... Read Full Story

It was on October 26, 2005 that A Girl’s Gotta Spa! came to life. At the time I was a bath & body rep. for Country Bunny Bath & Body (hence the name on my blog was “LotionBarBunny” so I could be anonymous…which obv. makes me laugh now.) I found a picture of what my blog originally used to look like back in 2005 and it is pretty pathetic. Oh what it was like to be a beauty blogger back in the day. What I didn’t know back then was that this blog would chang... Read Full Story

Name: Haralee Weintraub Age: 55 CEO of Cool Garments for Hot Women My name is Haralee and 7 years ago when I was 48, I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer, stage IIB. I went in for a routine mammogram and yearly physical feeling great and came out being told I was very ill. How could I feel fine and be so sick? After I started chemotherapy I felt ill and it was easier to intellectualize that this disease was mine. When I asked my oncologist what I could do to help me feel better, he re... Read Full Story

You know when you see a beautiful woman of impossible-to-guess age? Second to the attitude (magically light-hearted and sophisticated at once) it’s all about the skin. It’s the skin on a woman’s face and neck that betrays her– or wonderfully acts in her favor. When a woman cheeks radiate youthfullness and glow and her eyes are bright and shining, you will not believe her when she talks about a son who has gone off to college or a daughter who is expecting her second b...
