Yu-Be Skin Moisturizing Cream

I have ridiculously sensitive skin with rosacea AND live in Minnesota, where winters and central heating do not help. This stuff never irritates or breaks me out, and it keeps my skin soft and bouncy. Plus, it’s great value: $39 for a big tub that lasts forever.

Gargle with salt water

As soon as I get that itchy/sore feeling at the back of my throat that heralds a cold, I add a bunch of salt to some warm water and gargle several times. Almost never fails to keep the cold away even when my family is suffering.

Arbor Teas

It’s not LA, but Arbor Teas does an amazing Organic Masala Chai black tea with plenty of cardamom pods. They’re based in Michigan.

Extreme Length Mascara & Lash Primer

I have been using this for years. Every time I try something else, it pales in comparison. The receptionist at my kids’ doctor even complimented me on my eyelashes once.
