Kate Somerville RetAsphere 2-in-1 Retinol Night Cream
I’ve always been into anti-aging but, last year, when I hit 30, I REALLLLY got into anti-aging. For serious.

Call of the wild
Lately I’ve been trying to test out products that I’d normally write off at as “marketing hoopla” or really just something I’m just not interested in trying because, hey, I AM a beauty blogger and it IS my job to test out EVERYTHING, right? These three products, though I was skeptical, pleasantly surprised me…

Melanoma Monday
Today is MELANOMA MONDAY, e.g. the yearly designated day by the American Academy of Dermatology to raise awareness for skin cancer and to encourage early detection through self-examination. I’m kinda preachy when it comes to sun protection (#SorryImNotSorry) but, let me explain. Obviously I’m someone who has always HAD to wear sunscreen, due to the fact that my skin resembles a wedding dress, so I’ve never really had a choice to NOT wear SPF…but here’ the thing, I’m posting a photo of myself IN A BIKINI…ON THE INTERNET…so you have to read this whole post. Ok? (nod your head yes)

Mario Badescu Drying Lotion
When I first saw this product I thought “no…that can’t be. Can it? Is that Calamine Lotion in there with the salicylic acid?” Yes, yes it is. Let’s take it back a minute to a time when young Jamie was constantly covered in either bug bites or poison ivy because, yeah, that was my reality. My parents stockpiled Calamine lotion which, by the way, is BRIGHT PINK and, now that I think about it, the fact that I was always covered in pink dots may be a big contributor to my affliction to the color, but I digress. The MARIO BADESCU DRYING LOTION is pretty amazing at not only calming the itch out of mosquito bites (and it DOES do that, trust), but the formulation of calamine mixed with salicylic acid and other acne-fighting ingredients really gets rid of whiteheads FAST.

Jennifer Aniston Doesn’t Age…and I wanna know why
I feel badly starting this off by saying how COURTNEY COX has had too much Botox (sorry, she has) because I think Courtney Cox is amazing but, guys, after watching Courtney on Cougar Town I got to thinking about the fact that, yes, Courtney has aged (and probably in a normal way) but her former FRIENDS co-star, JENNIFER ANISTON, has NOT. Jen pretty much looks the same since 1997…seriously, look at these photos. What. the. hell? How is this possible?
