Bliss Vanilla + Bergamont Body Butter




This stuff smells so good that I want to eat it! The combination of Vanilla and Bergamont is just awesome.

But, more importantly, the Bliss Maximum Moisture Cream Body Butter really works. It's Paraben free. I'm using mine sparingly so it's my once a week after shower treat. Oh, and it is great as an "after-shave." The weather is getting warmer which means "show off those legs!" But, don't do it until you shave! LOL

Seriously, my mom introduced me to Bliss and I love all their products. Unfortunately, as a "starving student" I can't use them all the time which makes it even more special when I can!

They have a ton of great products. Check them out at

Let's Get This Party Started Now!





My birthday was on Tuesday, but as I've said before, it was finals week. So, I've been totally zapped, but the weekend is here and it's time to p-a-r-t-y! Not really. It's pouring rain, freezing cold and I've got the sniffles. But, hey, my nails don't have to know that.

I went to Walgreen's today in search of Incoco nails only to find that they no longer carry them. Anyway, I picked up this pack of Broadway Nails (Celebrity Style Designs) in silver.


I'll let you know how they work out. 5.99 for a pack of 28 wraps.

Oh, and my parents got me my favorite princess cake - in my favorite color - pink!

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Thayers Witch Hazel - Magic Potion



My latest obsession. Witch Hazel. One of my besties told me that Witch Hazel was great for keeping your skin soft and blemish free. So, I ordered a bottle from Drugstore.com. I think the most popular brand of Witch Hazel is Dickinson's but I ordered Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel. Oh My God. You should see my skin. I would post pictures but I look sort of like - well, sort of like I just finished finals and I'm ready to collapse.

But, this beauty news was just too good to keep. I've been using this alcohol free toner for about two weeks. Once in the morning and once at night. When I got home, my mom said, 'Wow, your skin looks great.' As you know, I do try to use all natural products on my skin as much as possible, but the Witch Hazel has made a serious difference. It doesn't dry the skin like alcohol-based products can - did I mention that it's alcohol free? And it smells so fresh - like fresh - cucumbers!

Bargain prized at 7.99 for a 12 ounce bottle.

"Flossing" Hair With Fekkai BRILLIANT GLOSSING



I love my mom. Especially when she puts beauty treats in my care packages from home. This week, along with these super yummy chocolate Bahlsen cookies, she sent me sample pack of Fekkai Brilliant Glossing. I just finished using the shampoo and conditioner. My hair feels so good and the smell is amazing. I have no idea what's in this formula but the package says "With Encapsulated Shine-Release Complex."

At $38.00 for sixteen ounces of shampoo, it's a little out of my "price range," but at least I can say I've experienced it. Also, sometimes Ross and other discount stores sell Fekkai products. Since this is new, it will probably be a while before it lands there, but you never know, so be on the lookout!

Hope you're having a great Sunday!
