Come to think of it, this is a lot like a winter hygge list… cardigan/sweater or faux fur lined hoodie: alpaca cardigan from Timber View Farm Alpacas and Victoria Secret Pink Collection lotion/body butters with at home spa accessories I posted previously (see Pure Fiji and Sonoma Lavender Company) hot beverage: my favorites are hot …
Pure Fiji Is Pure Bliss
It’s a shame that I had never heard of Pure Fiji before Spavia. I got to experience their oils, lotions, scrubs, etc. during my spa treatments and fell in love right away. It’s moisturizing without being greasy, smells divine (guava scent= my personal favorite), doesn’t burn on dry cracked skin (which is how my skin …
The Habe Travel Makeup Bag
I bought a Habe travel makeup bag from Amazon.com as a gift recently for my mother and she loved it. Had I not already owned a similar case from years ago, I would have bought another for myself. You can see for yourself how much it can hold and the variety of items you can store. …
A New Relaxation Ritual
Inspired by Priscilla Ahn’s (musician) positive review of Rain Living, I’m planning to make a purchase to include a few of their bath bombs and bath salts. It’s been a small decision put off for too long; maybe about a year even :(. Oh my, has time flewn! I recently saw their products at the …
My Top New Finds of Summer 2014…
I don’t differentiate between seasonal or day/night scents. To me preference will always supersede trends. Here is a playful medley of my new favorites… While browsing at my favorite Anthropologie, a tube of Library of Flowers‘ Arboretum caught my eye, but didn’t make a purchase until my visit to New York Botanical Garden weeks later …
My New September Favorite: Farmhouse Fresh
On the first evening in Cape May, New Jersey, my husband and I walked to the main shopping strip (just minutes from the White Dove Cottage, Bed & Breakfast). BTW, thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the White Dove; Stella gives it two paws up as well! After a quick preliminary scout around the area, I …
Lush Cosmetics’ Facial Masks
I’ve tried a few of Lush’s face masks and really love them! These are the ones I’ve tried for my combination, mildly sensitive skin (recommended via a Lush consult)… Cupcake: Great for oily or spotty skin. Catastrophe Cosmetic: A blueberry infused maintenance mask. Love Lettuce: Balancing mask for all skin types. BB Seaweed: A gentle …
Gumback Express Smoothie
I had heard about this amazing product from Lush even before trying it. At the time I came upon various posts regarding Gumback, the product was in discontinued status and was in high demand for a second wave of production. A few months later I saw it re-offered online (yayyy, Lush really listens to their …
Tend Skin to the Rescue!
After years of improper leg skincare, I’ve developed a number of ingrown hairs, razor bumps, and very dry skin below my knees. Last winter I realized that I needed a drastic change of regimen so as a trial remedy, I had a few waxings and meticulous tweezings done over a course of a few months …
Basin White
Last summer’s trip to Las Vegas had us venturing into the Venetian Grand Canal Shoppes after enjoying a Blue Man Group performance just moments before. I was looking for a Thank You present to gift to mom and chose the three pictured below. My mom thought they were too pretty to use =). Due to …
