I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.

You want a facial. You need a facial. But your wallet is sort of… well… your wallet is a bit of a tightwad; it thinks you need to ease up on the beauty budget a little.
Don’t worry, you don’t need to break up with anyone just yet; I’ve got a cheap fix for your facial needs.
You knew I would, I always do.
A homemade facial mask using only baking soda and water. Boom.

You know how I feel about OPI. We’ve discussed this. My love is as wide as a river, as high as a mountain, all that jazz. So when I found out two of my lifetime favorites had merged to have a lovechild?
ECSTASY.
OPI created a Muppet nail polish collection just in time for the holidays, and I can promise you I almost passed out when it showed up in the mail.
Rainbow Connection, are you kidding me?
I grew up with Kermit and the gang. We used to gather around once a week as a family to watch The Muppet Show on our closet-hanger-antennae-d-TV to see which hosting celebrity had a sense of humor, and hope Animal would blow something up.
This is Gone Gonzo! Don’t you love it? I’d wear this one on New Year’s Eve to a fun party with lots of glittery makeup.
Gettin’ Miss Piggy With It!
It’s gorgeous on my nails; I think I’ll wear it for Christmas.

I’ve had this pumpkin mask in my arsenal for awhile, so I’m excited to finally whip it out for you. Whip it out! Get it? Because you whip the pum…..

Pumpkin probably isn’t at the top of your list when you think about ingredients for facials, but it should be. This pumpkin mask facial is amazing for your skin, and this time of year you probably have a lot of pumpkin around the house anyway.
Pumpkin is filled to the brim with vitamin C, vitamin E, vitamin A, zinc, beta carotene, antioxidants and potassium. It naturally exfoliates, soothes irritation + redness, calms breakouts and makes the skin more bright.
The other amazing thing about a pumpkin mask {like you needed something else to love}? It only takes 4 ingredients.
Basically, you’re 4 ingredients away from a spa in your kitchen.

I’m a bit obsessed with any beauty shortcut on the market, it’s just the kinda gal I am. I’ve had a long love affair with Costco’s make-up remover wipes, and I recently rediscovered an old beauty flame from my past:
Olay facial cloths.
Have you ever used these? They’re cheap {so am I}. You can pick up a box of 33 for about six dollars and recycle them when you’re done. What?
That’s what she said.
I used these face wash cloths in college, when I was super tired and wanted to make sure my face was clean and makeup free for even the paltry handful of hours I was sleeping.
Some things just never change.
I wouldn’t go back and tell my college self just how tired my future self is; I couldn’t do that to me. My college self would lose the will to live.
Anyway.
What I realized when I started using this face wash again is how perfect it is for travel. I love my regular makeup wipes, but they aren’t always convenient to take when I’m traveling, especially when I have a full or nearly full pack of them. So when I traveled … >> find out more…

Last week I showed you my manky yellow teeth {and wrinkles, but that’s neither here nor there} before I used some whitening strips on them.
They were manky and yellow {or brown some say}, and now:
What do you think?
I put them on while I worked for two hours and no one noticed. Sure, I work at home, but I was able to do a whole bunch of phone calls without anyone telling me I sounded 12. With braces. My gums were a little sensitive, but not much. And can you believe what happened in two hours? That was only using one strip and there are three more in the box. I’m super stoked.
The other thing I was really happy about is that the actual teeth whitening strips are way stickier these days. They didn’t slide around at all and I had to peel them off my teeth when I was done. Huge bonus.
What would you whiten your teeth for, in only two hours? Wedding? Just for you? Reunion? Trip with your significant other?

I’ve officially lost any vanity I might have ever had. I mean, I share all kinds of personal information with you, but I never show you actual photos of me in bed for weeks at a time, or pictures of me un-showered with bedhead. But today? I’m showing you a photo of my yellow teeth.
I know.
Never mind the wrinkles. I’m an unapologetic sun worshiper, and I have the laugh lines around my eyes to show for it.
Anyway, we’re talking about my teeth. They don’t look as manky here as they do in real life, but I promise you, my teeth are not my best feature. Just last week Charming politely asked why my teeth were so “brown” and if there was a way to fix it.
Duly noted little Jedi.
So I’m taking action. This week I’m going to use some teeth whitening strips to see if they can really make these yellow {“brown”} teeth look a little less manky.
The copy on the box swears they brighten your teeth in 2 hours, so I’m going to give it a go and see what happens. I can get a lot done in 2 hours with these bad … >> find out more…
