Bliss Minty Moisture Milk



We have a multitude of options when it comes to moisturizers, so it's really not enough for a lotion to just make me not ashy. All lotion does that, what have you done for me lately? Bliss Minty Moisture Milk is a must for me come summer time. It has a great minty tingle, that is refreshing and cooling on hot summer days, and it contains lactic acid to smooth and exfoliate so your skin is never dull.
Best of all it has that elusive perfect blend of creaminess and greasiness. You know when you want a little oil on your skin to make it shine, but not be straight up greasy and have to worry about getting oil on your nice clothes. Yeah, it gives you that glow, and when you got that glow your body's gold, so don't let go of the power of elevation. Truer words were never spoken.

Got Milk?

Well how about adding an entire gallon of milk to your hot bath and soaking in it? That's what daughter of Venezuelan designer Carolina Herrera does now and then [when she can stand the stench] for silky baby soft skin. Carolina Herrera Jr. has inspired much of her mother's designs and is known for her understated style and elegance. She would rather sit in a tub of milk than spend money on expensive products. Now I will admit that I was tempted to try it when I read that interview a few days ago. I do like to try my hand at some @ home beauty regimes myself. For instance, I usually don't feel like my face is clean unless I give it a good scrubbing. So I have been known to add some coffee grinds to my face cleanser - it feels great.You can also mix some olive oil [which I also use on my hair] with salt or sugar and use that as a scrub on your entire body especially elbows and knees. Do this is for your own at home spa pedicure also! From Carolina, to me, to you! LOL

Happy soaking/scrubbing! ;)

When Life Hands You Grapefruits

Try Gloomaway by ORIGINS; it is optimism and content in a grapefruity souffle. I don't mind grapefruity scents and I happen to love Origins. Also, if you love a good scrub try ORIGIN's Incredible Spreadable Scrub.






My friend put me on to this scent and I fell in love! This scrub has white and brown sugars plus olive oil and leaves your skin super silky. The ginger scent is invigorating, but it is not one that plays nicely with other scents. I like to use this in the summer either alone or with the fragrance Ginger Essence.

Infuse Your Hair With Silk

Good Morning Lovely Ladies,
[and gentlemen....I know a few men check in, we love you guys for that!]

Loving your comments, some really had me chuckle over here - keep em' coming!

Now the issue at hand: I am a CHI advocate all the way. I have been using a ceramic CHI flat iron since like 1996.... don't quote me, but I'd venture to say that it is the brand that changed the face of flat irons. With that said - they know a thing or two about hair products. CHI Silk Infusion has the consistency of a hair serum but it is really a hair treatment with Cationic Hydration Interlink. This leave-in treatment is infused with pure silk, wheat and soy proteins. It penetrates your hair leaving it soft and silky. Who wouldn't want to infuse silk in their hair???
You don't even need to use a lot of this treatment to notice a difference so a 12 oz. bottle can really last you a long time. Its great to use it on your hair wet or dry and it smells amazing too - the scent is definitely a head turner. You have to try it.
:)
Buy CHI Silk Infusion.
