Sure there are no newsboys anymore (and now they would include newsgirls) but The Frugal Diva is still a sucker for the printed page. How lovely to sit with a cup of coffee and gently turn pages. First the entertainment section for movie reviews, then the business section for new products, then the local information, and the world at large.

Never has the word “no” been so welcome. No dimethicone, no paraben, no mineral oil, no animal testing or products make the BWC Hand & Body Lotion worth trying. Vitacost had sent me a bottle to review and this is The Frugal Diva’s very unscientific report. After one week of usage, I like it for the following reasons – it did not upset my sensitive skin, it absorbed quickly, left no filmy residue and my skin felt softer immediately after application. All these things would be immaterial to The Frugal Diva for a high priced bottle…
