My lips need therapy.

And that’s not just because they are currently getting less attention than they deserve, but no matter what my current state of single entails, I still want my lips to be perpetually kissably soft!

Philosophy’s Kiss Me Tonight is fab. It worked pretty much the minute I put it on to soften my rough areas, and to relieve dryness. I do not have guilt over my dry lips - it’s nothing I’m doing wrong! I drink plenty of water, and all that jazz. But at last, I know I’m doing something extra-right:  Even my fine lines are gone!

Life stress has robbed me of sleep the last three nights, and I look something like a walking blonde zombie.

I have found hope though (and from the same people who gave me Hope in a Jar!). Philosphy’s Eye Hope is meant to provide - well - hope for skin tissue around the eye area.

This product is great for sensitive skin and also has anti-inflammatory benefits that calm and soothe skin, and even brighten skin tone. It’s really awesome - you must try it!

Sephora is advertising this Philosophy Amazing Grace set for Mother’s Day - it is $99 worth of products on sale for $65. The set includes a 24 oz. Bubble Bath; 16 oz. Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath (a combo product); 2 bars of soap; and a 16 oz. Amazing Grace Firming Emulsion. If you remember, I tried a few of the Amazing Grace products in February, and loved the scent - and still do. This is a great deal if you are shopping for a great gift for your great Mom!

I just gave my Mom a cell phone for a year for Mother’s Day, but I need to send her a little something special on “the day,” - this will be just right, and with those big 16 - 24 oz products, will last a WHOLE lot longer than flowers (and smells just as great)!

Since busting out of my one fragrance mode last year, I realized that I don’t “have” to stick with one or two fragrances.  I don’t know what it is about me that gets in such a rut with things, but I have realized lately that I am very much this way - I carry one purse til it dies, and wear one watch til it dies.  Crazy.  I am missing out on a lot here!

Anyway, I have been using Philosophy’s Amazing Grace for a couple of weeks now, and I really like it - it is very light, summery, floral based fragrance, which will be just exactly right for everyday wear in the spring and summer months.  Sometimes florals get a little “elderly” smelling, but this one is not that way at all, nor does it smell like a very young girl’s fragrance - it is very elegant.  I tried this Fragrance Purse, pictured above, that has .5 oz of spray fragrance as well as a little jar of solid fragrance (fabulous for carrying around in my purse).  You can get the purse from beauty.com, for $30.
