Lately I’ve been under a lot of stress from a family project I took on and feel that I had emotionally missed a good part of the summer with all the chaos and bustle. Even earlier (during the last part of 2011) and before the onset of this project, I had found inspiration in shells …
A Rose by Any Other Name Would Smell as Sweet?….
I have been on a long and arduous “Des Esseintes” hunt for rose scented products which actually smell like a real rose = /. My obsession began with my yoga instructor’s rose essential oil which she occasionally dabs onto our hands as we are readying ourselves for shavasana (I love to place it on my …
Third Time’s The Charm: Origins
I first tried an Origins product years ago; I believe it was a small bottle of milky makeup remover. It was okay but didn’t leave a huge impression on me. A few years later I was dorming at college and found out that one of my suitemates was an Origins fanatic. Had I liked her …
Lush Review: Black Cat Bath Cocktail
Luscious purple bath, mildly sweet, mostly soft-scented herbals =) A great treat for yourself after your Hallow’s Eve candy-giving duties has been fulfilled. A few years previously we literally had over a hundred trick-or-treaters knocking on our door (13 bags of candy worth). Cobweb Bath Ballistic: Sweet, mild herbal scent. Black sugar Lavender absolute Chamomile …
Alterna’s Ten Duo
I ordered the shampoo and conditioner duo via sample sale recently since I’ve been trying to get my hands on them for the longest time. Nice packaging but sad to say, this is not going to be much of a positive review: Alterna’s 10 Science of Ten Shampoo: Good consistency. So-so scent compared to other …
Orofluido Review
First I’d like to say, I hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving =)… I managed to snag a great deal on Orofluido at one of the recent sample sales. You never know whether or not you will like a product by purchasing online without seeing it first. I just decided to take a risk this time …
Pedicure Recommendations
This post is about some of the great affordable products I use for my at-home pedicures. As an aside, I’m planning to review several Lush footcare products in the near future. I’m glad there are some quality products out there since I do greatly benefit from more frequent pedicures and don’t always want to go …
Lush Review: Tang Bath Cocktail
This bath cocktail is a small reward for all the recent organizational milestones reached so far and for the 5 big loads of laundry I did yesterday (quite exhausting). Very Tang in color and scent (orange, citrusy). This may seem rather strange, but the woodsiness of this bath also reminded me of pre-lit orange incense. …
Lush Massage Bars
Just some of my Lush favorites. My top three are Soft Coeur (The Honeymooners), Shimmy Shimmy, and Glitterbug. Please see past massage bar reviews. *Photocredit: Lush Cosmetics
Lush Review: Cheer Up! Bath Cocktail
After a disappointing end result of Project Runway: Season 9 (and the elimination of my favored designer, Fallene Wells), I decided a Lush bath cocktail was in order though it was very late. I’ve had the ingredients laid out since before vacation and boy did my feet need a good pumice scrub (which I saved …
