AHAVA Mineral Botanic Body Wash

I have a tendency to go through body wash very quickly, so I am hesitant to buy the “good stuff” -but then I realize that quality makes all the difference when you are spreading a substance all over delicate skin.

AHAVA’s Mineral Botantic Body Wash is absolutely under the “good stuff” category – at around $20, it’s a little pricier than the drug store brands, but it’s infused with real Dead Sea minerals and plant extracts that will complement your specific body type.

For instance, if you have normal-to-dry skin, you may want to try the Orange/Frangipani: It’s enriched with vitamin C and will soothe your skin or the Hibiscus/Fig for your dry skin, which has antibacterial properties and can help to soften.

It’s almost like a bathtime cocktail

Home again, Home again, Jiggety jig

So, I was gone all last week on a 7 day cruise without phone or internet. I thought I would die without those modern conveniences, but as it turns out, it was pretty friggin awesome. I might mention there were no kids involved either – just my fabulous hubby, tons of free food and expensive drinks. Aaaaaaah.

I learned a few things on this cruise:

1. You really can find incredible jewelry bargains in the Caribbean. But the bargains still aren’t cheap. Gamble well.

2. I really don’t care if I go back to Jamaica again.

3. Don’t buy YSL mascara in the duty free store and think you’re gonna like it. Two tubes for the price of one is only good if the mascara isn’t old (don’t tell my hubby I wasted 50 bucks).

4. Buy all the Touché Eclat you can find at a 2 for 1 price.

5. Don’t ever ride a Sea Doo in the ocean – it is just not fun.

6. I super duper love the sunscreens from Ahava! Keep them around in all SPF ranges from 15-50!

7. Definitely take the opportunity to swim with the dolphins if you find one. It is well worth the price.

8. Do not think you can wrap your digital camera up in a Ziploc bag and have it survive anywhere near the ocean.

9. I *heart* all of my wonderful coworkers in the Beauty & Style channel. Thanks so much for everything! xoxox (I didn’t really learn this, but it seemed like a good time to give thanks)

Ill leave you with that, as I batten down the hatches for the anti-dolphin swimming people to come by. And Ill get right on back to beauty and to some better blogging habits if it kills me (or causes me to lose my other job!!)!

Hope you all are doing great and having a lovely summer! xoxox

Beauty Beat: Bring Home the Spa!

There is nothing that can make you feel beautiful like a trip to the spa – so why not bring the spa home for Christmas? Luxury spa products are the next big trend in beauty, and there is no time like the present to take advantage and ask for them for Christmas. There are lots of wonderful spa lines out now – try products from Hamadi, Carol’s Daughter, L’Occitane – but Ahava is my current love. I highly recommend you ask Santa to bring you the Ahava Stress Melt Butter Salt; it is an amazing moisturizer and exfoliant made with Dead Sea salts with a light green apple scent. There is no better product to combat the dry skin brought on by the cold winter months and leave you feeling like you have had the once over at the spa. Delish!
