It’s easy to get caught up in the rush and busy of preparing for the holidays. Don’t forget to take a few moments for yourself. It’s important to catch your breath, recharge, and pamper yourself – if only for a short time – in order to truly be able to enjoy everything that the holidays have to offer.

I’ve just been going over my to-do list and unfortunately, due to an unforeseen family emergency, I’m way off track. Our sweet guinea pig, Whoobie, died last night and I woke up feeling sad and distracted. It’s going to take some real work to get everything done and get myself back into the holiday spirit.

I’ve decided that come 6pm, no matter where I am on my list, I’m going to stop and take a breather. Either a bath or shower, I’m going to wash the stress of the day out of my hair and off my mind. I’m going to lather up with something wonderful-smelling, moisturize with something fragrantly rich, and powder myself with my favorite …..uh baby powder. Seriously, I use Johnson’s Baby Powder everyday. It smells nice and makes my skin feel extra-soft.  A real money-saver, too.

And since I admitted to the Johnsons, I might as well let you know that I like to use Gerber’s Laveder scented baby wash and lotion, too. They are soap-free and gentle on your skin and very inexpensive. Their scent stays with you all day, much longer than many more expensive body washes and lotions.

Please remember to make time for yourself, as well. I know that there’s a lot to fit in the days ahead, but you deserve some time to yourself. Happy holidays!

Great Weekend For Shopping

Big sale going on at Avon.com for lovers of the Skin So Soft product line.  About ten years ago, my mom and I sold Avon as a team. Skin So Soft was always a big seller. It had a nice, light, feminine scent.  They’ve really expanded the line to include a variety of skincare products, featuring a variety of fresh fragrances. 

My neighbor, next door, used to buy a bottle of the bath oil every other month. She was the mother of little ones and long baths were her favorite stress-reliever.

The holiday season is upon us.  Do you have a special party dress picked out?  Maybe something in a satin and strapless, like this one featured at Style It Less?  Something short and sexy, sure to impress.  How do those legs you’ve been hiding under your warm pants look?  Need some help?  Skin So Soft has you covered. 

For smooth skin, there’s this cute Skin So Soft flower shaver  that’s currently 50% off……

or 30% off of the Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Hair Removal Cream in the Bonus Size.

Lost your tan? Try some Skin So Soft Satin Glow Continuous Mist Airbrush Spray for Fair Skin Tones to give your legs a kiss of faux Summer sun.

Spritz a bit of  Skin So Soft Fusions Soft & Sensual Dual Softening Body Oil , to put a fragrant sheen on those glowing legs, and your look is complete.
