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

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!
Remember, that’s for FIVE PIECES. You’ll get two shower gels, 2 moisturizing hand and body …read more

Beauty writers tend to be inundated with products – so much that we readily share with our friends and families.
However, for all of us, there’s a few key items that we won’t share. These are the ones we will hoard as we get them and put in a safe place, just to make sure there’s NEVER a rainy day onto which we’ll run out.
For me, this list of product includes body butters. You can just never be too buttered up!
Right now at Bath & Body Works, if you buy any three Signature Collection items, you will get two free or …read more

Check this out: Crabtree & Evelyn is having their first-ever 96-hour sale (ends 10 a.m. EST on Tuesday), and during the sale, EVERYTHING is 20% – even clearance items!
With deals like this, it’s a great time to choose your seasonal scent. (Is it pomegranate? Orange spice? What makes you think of the holidays) – or just stock up on your tried-and-true favorite.
My own pick is the awesome hand care caddy: It’s a ceramic caddy with full-size bottles of Orange Spice Hand Wash and moisturising Hand Lotion. So perfect for the season- and a must-have for my bathroom!

It’s not the holiday season with adorable and yet delicious sweet treats!
Check this out: Right now, and through this Thursday, if you visit Philosophy.com, you can get a free deluxe 1oz. Gingerbread Man shower gel with any purchase.
It’s a sweet treat that also just happens to make you smell and taste delicious, yourself! Gotta say, there’s nothing that makes me feel better than a good relaxing bath as holiday season hysteria takes over!
Except maybe a cruise…which I will be on tomorrow!

I just discovered a coupon at Bath & Body Works, where you can save $10 on any purchase of $30 or more.
That’s like 30%!
You just have to enter code TENTHIRTY at checkout. Have you been naughty or nice this year? It doesn’t matter because either way you’re on the savings list at Bath & Body Works!
I’m crazy for their fabulous-smelling bath gels. Try the Butterfly Flower Shower Gel – it totally smells like a mimosa! Plus, they have a buy 3-get 3 body care deal going on, so you can be in body wash until summer if you play your …read more

Everyone is flu-paranoid right now…and who can blame them? It’s the worst! How much of the worst is it? It actually caused me to miss a trip to JAMAICA last month. There is nothing that sucks more than that, right?
But did you know there’s BEAUTY tricks you can add to your arsenal? Yes, things we do to look and feel good can also save us from certain ruin.
I conferred with Borba skincare founder and celebrity esthetician, Scott-Vincent Borba, and he provided few seasonal skincare and wellness tips to keep your complexion looking flawless despite dropping temperatures and the flu!

I haven’t blogged much about this cause it’s well, not pretty – but I’ve spent much of the last week super-sick. As in well over 100 fever – and just when I thought I was getting better, I’d wear myself down and get sick again.
It was so bad that I had to postpone a trip to Jamaica that I was supposed to be on right this moment.
The culprit? Well, clearly a renegade germ. But also…that I didn’t take my vitamins!
I used to be a stickler, and now I will be again…but that means it’s time to stock up in a …read more

Who doesn’t love Bliss?
Each product I try, I’m a little more addicted to, and the new Lemon + Sage Soapy Suds Body Wash + Bubbling Bath is super perfect for my bath routine.
You know how smells influence your senses? Like some relax you, some invigorate you, some may even…um…create a sense of excitement…
Well, this is a citrus-scentedbody wash, and it’s undeniably stimulating to the senses, but it’s also super-hydrating: it has glycerin, aloe, and vitamin E.
It’s sold as a body wash, but I like to put a drop in some warm water and make a bath out of it. So …read more

How darn cute is this???
Whether you are seeking a bit of scent or a lot of shimmer, I think you will beyond-adore Couture Couture by Juicy Couture Body Dust.
It’s actually also a bit of gold glow: To wear, you just pat on some body powder. It’s super delicate, but it actually nourishes skin, because it’s loaded with protein and crushed pearl powder.
Note: To each is the decision dependent, but I’m thinking body dust is most attractive post-happy hour. It may look a little odd around that breakfast meeting…
