Philopshy’s Winter Escape

Aly Walansky — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 17:32:35 +0000

As it gets increasingly cold out, I begin to crave comfort, indulgence, and warmth.

Philosophy

Sadly, just about the only way I’m going to be getting that right now is a good bubble bath, but I’ve found the perfect source.

Philosophy’s Winter Escape is perfect for a little bit of holiday-season self-indulgence.

It includes peppermint Hot Cocoa Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath! Why do I love this? It screams holiday yum, but obviously – no calories.

Also included are the incredibly delicious Marshmallow Body Soufflé and Marshmallow Flavored Lip Shine – which will make me smell and taste so kissable, I may have body warmth of another kind sooner than I expect.

Get ready, this is super-decadent…you may have to fit it into your year-round routine.

Free Lip Love at Bath and Body Works

I am thrilled – there’s nothing I enjoy more than a gift with purchase!

BathandBodyWorks.com

If you stop by Bath & Body Works – any one of their stores!– this weekend, you will receive a free lip item (up to a $7.50 value) with any purchase! Doesn’t matter what you buy!

You can’t take advantage of this offer online, sadly, but just print and redeem this printable coupon any time before 8/30. How fabulous is that???

Personally, I’d make my free item the Liplicious Pomegranate/Brown Sugar Lip Color and Sugar Scrub - it’s normally $12, but is currently on sale for $4 – which means it falls into the free item limit!

Lavender-Honey Milk Bath

Aly Walansky — Thu, 14 May 2009 15:01:57 +0000

When I moved into my new apartment a few weeks ago, the most exciting element was the old-fashioned bath tub. I can now take a fabulously luxurious bath (complete with vino and music, of course), any time I want!

I did want the bath to be as enriching as possible, though. And so I found this “recipe” with the help of the National Honey Board. It’s totally worth a try!

Lavender-Honey Milk Bath
-Makes enough for 2 baths -

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. dried lavender flowers*
1-1/2 cups whole milk, cream or combination
1/3 cup honey

Directions:
Process lavender flowers in a blender until they become a powder, turning off the blender and scraping down the sides as necessary. Whisk together lavender powder, milk and honey in a glass bowl, then pour into a jar. Before each use, shake the jar and pour half of the mixture into the bath. Store remaining milk bath covered in refrigerator for up to 1 week.

*Dried lavender flowers can also be found in the spice section of gourmet and specialty stores.

Kiss Me, I’m Irish

Aly Walansky — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 16:50:08 +0000

OK, I am full of it: I’m actually a Jewish girl from Brooklyn. But that doesn’t have to stop me from reaping the benefits of St. Patty’s Day!

Check out LUSH’s new limited edition shamrock-inspired Luck of the Irish Bath Bomb.

It’s so cool: Drop the shamrock into your tub as you soak. As it fizzes away, your bath water will get that Irish touch of green because of the skin-nourishing avocado packed inside. Plus, the scents of lemongrass, bergamot and rosewood will revive the senses so you can do that Irish jig all day long – once you figure out what that is.

To Use: Toss into a full, hot bath and enjoy its lovely color, fragrance and fizzy action!
