This weekend, I was on a cruise, and while it was fabulously fun – more on that soon – there was inclement weather that made it decidedly non-tropical.
But at one point, I realized: Even if Hurricane Ida takes the tropics away from us…we can bring it right back.
Currently, I’m obsessing about the amazing scent of pomegranate and mango in Avon’s Naturals Pomegranate & Mango 5-Piece Bath Set; and what makes it even more lustworthy is that currently, you’ll pay just $10 for this $35 value!

Also on the Reese front, she is the honorary chairperson of the Avon Foundation, and designed the Women’s Empowerment Bracelet, Avon’s first global charity product designed to save and improve women’s lives worldwide.

I finally got my hands on this product yesterday – if you are unaware of what it is, Instant Manicure is nail polish, partially dried in strips, that you apply to your nails almost like stickers. I will go ahead and say that I am coming into this as a big skeptic as a 20-yr nail tech, so I am not expecting much, even though I have heard quite a few rave reviews.
