Fashion Gone Wrong: Double Flower Headband

This Forever 21 headband is now on sale for only $2.99, and I'm not surprised. Halloween isn't for a few more months, and honestly, who goes as a goth-garden version of Princess Leia?

Clarisonic: A Review

Have you heard of the Clarisonic? If you haven't, consider yourself warned; it might just revolutionize your daily routine. That's what happened to me!

The Clarisonic is a facial cleanser similar to the Neutrogena Wave. In a way, it's like an electronic toothbrush for your face. The Clarisonic's brush oscillates 300 times per second for intense and complete cleansing. And don't worry about taking off your makeup; it removes makeup and cleanses all in 60 seconds.

Pros: The Clarisonic delivers quick, efficient cleaning every time.
It's a medium size - not too big to keep on the counter.
It charges in its own stand, so don't worry about changing batteries.
The Clarisonic removes makeup better than anything I've ever tried.
For those of us with skin conditions such as acne or rosacea, the Clarisonic helps prevent breakouts, reduces redness, etc. and is safe to share with others who do not have the same conditions.

Cons: The Clarisonic does have to charge every once in a while; however, this is not a big problem, as the battery life lasts 30 minutes before it needs re-charging.
The brush heads, like toothbrushes, eventually wear down and need replacing. These replacements are not too tricky, and the brushes last anywhere from a few months to a year or so, depending on how often it is used.
When first recieving the Clarisonic, you must configure the cycle you want to use. It's a bit confusing; the directions are only slightly helpful. However, you'll only have to do this once.
The initial investment is substantial (The basic system is $195).

Recommended by several doctors and dermatologists (see NY Times article here), the Clarisonic delivers what's promised. After months of use, I could not be happier with the way it leaves my skin soft and clean every time. Despite the initial investment, it definitely pays off.

Many dermatologists carry the Clarisonic at their offices; if yours does not, find it here.
