Smells Like Teen Spirit

 
Nothing reminds me of summer and my teen years like the smell of the ocean rolling in in the morning and Vanilla musk. I don’t know what it is with teenage girls and vanilla. I think it’s written into our genetic code or something. All 15 year old girls must smell like sugar cookies and […]

Everything Old is New Again

 
Head on over to LUSH to see some of your old favorites that have been brought back by popular demand. Don’t you just hate it when you fall in love with something and then the company goes out of business or they discontinue a product? Well my LUSHlies, you will not have to feel pained […]

Greasing Up Baby

Kids are weird.
They are odd, little people that live in your home. One day they’re these larval, immobile creatures with floppy heads and tiny mouths. Then, suddenly, they’re walking, talking little humans capable of saying “MAMA!” as they stare at your husband.
Strangely, they need much of the same things we do. Food. Shelter. Moisturizing.
In the […]

Put Your Hand Down…You Shouldn’t Be That Sure

I would love to live in a world of flower-filled fields, where all of my bodily functions could be controlled by daisies and pretty thoughts. In this fantasy land, bees would gladly give me little parcels of honey, my headaches could be controlled with the dew from a lily, and the crisp, fresh air would […]

You Build Me Up Buttercup

On my Monday wish list at the top is Malie’s Natural Mango Butter Cup. It’s an amazing bar of body silkifying goodness that looks absolutely perfect for the summer. It’s made with mango butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E and turmeric. It’s heat activated so it gets better in this kind of weather. You may not […]

Good On Salads Too

Not to beat a dead horse but it’s like really hot here. I’ve been filling up the fridge with cucumbers and juicy fruit to keep us hydrated. I know cucumbers are good but I wanted to find a recipe for a cleanser or mask. I found this one and it looks delish. I almost want to […]

Cool and Refreshing

So I don’t do the sun. I would rather be cold than hot any day; I’m just over it. I enjoy nice weather but not actually being in the sun for more than 10 minutes at a time. I’m trying not to ruin my family’s fun this Summer with my attitude so I’m eyeing Farmaesthetics […]

Where It’s At: Two Turntables and Some Bubble Bath

One of my favorite places to shop when I’m flush (so like once a year) is Anthropologie. It has a very Paris flea market feel. A really overpriced, touristy Paris flea market for yuppies perhaps. Nonetheless you can find lots of little trinkets and cool bath and beauty products. I first discovered Korres there and have […]

Clean Again Naturally

 
Since today is Father’s Day I thought I would talk about a “natural” products geared towards men. It must smell like grass or beer or something. The hubs has beautiful hair that he refuses to put product in, so I have to be careful to not offend his senses when trying out a new shampoo on him. […]

Anita Grant Hair Care

I just came across Anita Grant’s hair and skin care lines and I am actually salivating. After having a bad experience with conventional products she decided that she could make her own products using natural ingredients. Here goal was to demystify the process and ingredients so that the consumer can be empowered to do it […]
