May Is A Big Month For Beauty

Happy May Day!  We have two big things going on this month - first, and most important to your health - it is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.  Second, and also relatively important to your health, is Mother’s Day.  Yeah!  I will get into a lot more about Skin Cancer Awareness later on, but I have Mothers Day on my mind at the moment.  Sadly, I usually ask for tech stuff for Mother’s Day (and will likely do the same this year, along with a “day off”  - yeah right), but I really have this on the brain, hardcore:

This is Kiehl’s Gardenia collection - a limited time only collection.  Why *oh why* did I not get this when I was at Kiehl’s last month?  Probably because it wasn’t there yet.  Gardenia is, bar none, my very favorite fragrance.  My gardenia bush outside is covered in buds, and I salivate every time I look at it.  I can hardly wait for the flowers to open - the smell is simply to-die-for.  Ok ok, back to the products.

There are three new products in Kiehl’s line, Gardenia Hand & Body Lotion ($19.50), Gardenia Liquid Body Cleanser ($15.50) and Gardenia candle (I am *so* getting this - $28).  I really don’t have to say more about this - it is Kiehl’s, and a great product (can you say, 1851??), with an amazing scent.  What else do you need?   Ah, gift wrap.  If you are lucky enough to be near a Kiehl’s store, they will help you with that too.  I have seen the operation, it is lovely, organized and they will take GOOD care of you back there in the gift department.  Let me know if you get this - I am dying to know how great it smells.  Meanwhile, I’m ordering a candle (or 5) - don’t forget this is limited edition and will likely sell out before long.   I can buy myself Mother’s Day gifts, right?
