Frugal Snob: The Body Shop Wild Argan Oil Collection
The Body Shop always makes me nostalgic. I remember spending allowance money there growing up so I love that nearly two decades later they’re still alive and kicking! I will say their packaging could be a little swankier, but their new collection, Wild Argan Oil, smells so delicious I’m giving them a pass.
Widespread Ban on Plastic Microbeads in Scrubs Possibly on the Horizon
It’s no secret that big companies more often than not try to cut costs with no regard to the effects on the planet or even the consumer as long as it helps their bottom lines.

Yes To Carrots Launches Yes to Coconuts
Hands down my favorite drugstore brand is Yes to Carrots especially now that drugstore brands seem to be either super cheap and chemically filled or fairly pricey (at least in NYC where more and more drugstores are carrying higher end brands). Yes to Carrots stays true to their natural philosophy and continues to deliver superfood-inspired skincare products.
Shower Yourself in Coffee with Mr. Bean
Do you ever wake up so tired you wish you could just shower your body in caffeine so that all your pores could soak it up? I kind of feel that way every weekday morning when my alarm rings…meh!

Frugal Snob: Be Delectable
Somehow it feels like every week a different friend of mine is going through some sort of a crisis!

I’m always looking for fun things that will put a smile on someone’s face and that’s where lines like Be Delectable come in.
Mama Mio Launches Workout-Inspired Products
I’ve been a fan of Mama Mio since they launched because they advocate beauty and fitness.
