Super Soft





I know its probably too early to be looking at, or even thinking about, cashmere sweaters, but I came across these asymetrical upcycled cashmere sweaters by Movie Boy Productions and I am IN LOVE!! Perfect with a pair of jeans in the Fall...I just love the swing factor at the bottom and the lovely little whimsical flower embellishments along the bodice. Gorgeous one of a kind pieces that would be treasured forever! See more HERE.

Baby Soft


I first saw the commercials for Olay Body In-Shower Body Lotion at least a year ago and remember thinking "Yeah, right...there's no way that works." Then, 3 weeks ago, my best friend tells me that she stocked up on the jumbo size of it because it is "the greatest thing ever." So, I was still totally skeptical, but curious too. She generously gave me one bottle to try...and, I have to say, I don't know how I have lived without this product! It is ingenius! Made with shea butter and petrolatum (I think these two particular ingredients is how the product works, because it leaves a film on the skin), you smooth the lotion all over while you are in the shower. Then, you gently rinse it off as you get out of the shower and pat yourself with a towel when you get out. I have been using it every day, in every shower, and it has done wonders for my dry legs and arms (from swimming in chlorine every day!) I swear...I don't even have to put lotion on my body after using this in-shower body lotion. I highly recommend this time saving product!!

Frizz Free

A friend of mine had a beauty product swap with me a couple months ago, and I have been using the Living Proof Straight Making No Frizz Styling Cream (one of the products that didn't work for her) for a few weeks now. A lightweight styling cream, with an amazing grapefruity scent, it leaves my hair pretty frizz free, and without any heavy buildup or greasy feeling. Which is really important to me since I have blonde hair that has the tendancy to look greasy with product in it. I am almost done with my bottle, and this is definitely a product that I will purchase on my own when it is done. Available HERE or at Sephora.

Glow, Baby Glow


Summer is all about bare skin and skimpy clothing. Unfortunately, its also about dry, and, in my case, sometimes ashy skin. The sweet almond dry oil body gloss by Soap and Glory is the perfect remedy to it. Makes my skin super soft, smells great, and gives a nice subtle, not over-the-top shimmer to my skin. Available exclusively at Target. Only $12.99.
