Dirty Bird Energy Soap

7/14/2017

Hi! Hi, birdie!
A pleasure to meet (and shower with) Dirty Bird Energy Soap. After a run in my Allbirds, I stuck with my avian theme while stepping out of my shoes and into my shower. A caffeine-infused exfoliating body bar, Dirty Bird restored me with its powerful aromatics (peppermint immersed in palm oil and coconut oil) and its pumicing texture. Instant fan of this product, I'm stoked to try all the Dirty Bird soaps. I started with 'Energy', as I needed it right then and there. However, I still have 'Relax' and 'Recover' to try. Oh! The other cool factor about this soap, is it's package that doubles as a soap dish. Cheers to soap that sustains with energy in the shower!

Christie Brinkley Authentic Skincare

Practice makes perfect... Well, it makes for a perfect attempt anyway when it comes to me and music. While my violin playing is improving rather slowly, my complexion is getting better by the day. Thanks, Christie, for clarity via a fabulous exfoliating polish and smooth softness for days from a day cream that must contain some amount of magic from the fountain of youth.

Cheers to beautiful daily routines comprised of these.

FROWNIES AROMA THERAPY BODY LOTION

12/12/2016

ORGANIC APRICOT, SAFFLOWER & GRAPESEED MEADOWFOAM OILS, OH MY!

While I generally color outside the lines and take instructions as 'suggestions' and little else, these directions I will gladly follow without objection: 'Apply twice daily to the entire body to protect and promote a smooth and younger appearance of the skin.'

I work hard... at the office and the gym. Both mind and body are taxed on a regular basis. Fortunate to have a product that serves as salve ('lotion' that is) for both. Much love for Frownies Aroma Therapy Daily Body Lotion. Mind and body are more than satiated. They are entirely satisfied by a series of essential oils and natural lipids that are formulated into a therapeutic lotion - healing for both the skin and the senses.

Cheers to physical and emotional benefits in a single bottle.

GLOW FOR A CAUSE

11/29/2016

'Her magic was their muse. Her glow undeniable.'
Now, that's a statement I can get behind... and a product as well. Much love for GLOW for a cause - a beauty company unlike any other. Gotta love beauty that gives back. Founded by artist, teacher, and skincare genius, Johanna Querry Smith, GLOW for a cause is a passion project that makes both people and the world just a little more beautiful. GLOW for a cause products are made from the finest and purest ingredients out there. Every time you buy a GLOW for a cause product, you are not only pampering yourself, you are giving back 5% to their partner non-profit organizations.

Cheers to beauty products that not only are good... but do good.

GREEN TEA FOR THE EYES

10/3/2016

Green tea is good for the body... but great for the eyes..
With collagen, amino acids and vitamins, the Green Tea Eyes by ToGoSpa lives up to its alias - The Dark Circle Warrior. While it's super soothing straight out of the package, for a really relaxing experience put the package in the refrigerator for a bit to chill down the eye pads. Find yourself at a whole new level of calm. For a girl who's on the go most of the time, I'm stoked to have a travel ready spa option.

Cheers to 'packable' pampering.

TURN THAT FROWN UPSIDE DOWN

9/24/2016

A toner, refresher & makeup setter, Frownies Rose Water Hydrator serves as a lovely aromatic base for your face. With hydrating glycerin aloe juice and antioxidant-rich grapefruit seed extract, it leaves your skin smooth and supple to the touch. Cheers to falling in love with the feel of your face. - Allie Merrick

YOU SAY (COLOR)STAY

8/20/2016

While I'm more of a Chapstick, Carmex of clear lip gloss gal, on occasion I like to class it up with color... but not just any color. Revlon has a line entitled ColorStay Overtime. True to its name, the color actually stays... all day in fact. My shade of choice? True Chocolate.

While according to Frost it may be that 'nothing gold can stay', I can attest that 'true chocolate' can. Thanks Revlon for rockin' it like you do. I'm appropriately pairing this lip color with 'Stay' by Lisa Loeb.

Cheers,

JAPANESE AGARWOOD
by LISA HOFFMAN

For some time now, I've been in seek of my 'signature scent'. After many years, my search is over at long last. Love at first sniff, the Japanese Agarwood Eau de Parfum by Lisa Hoffman is the fragrance I've deemed as my signature scent. Pure, elegant & enriched with earth driven aromatics, this scent is a perfect translation of clarity and grace. Honored to wear it, this fragrance is my favorite thing to put on every day.

Cheers,

'Zesty, warm, and invigorating. Woody agarwood surrounded by bergamot, spiced ginger, amber, and cedarwood. Arouses clarity and zen.'

ROSE RADIANCE SKIN SERUM

8/6/2016

"A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but it won't make your skin glow like this." -AM

Aromatherapy Associates of London has designed a stunning serum developed from evening primrose oil and rose. Take the time to read the back of the box to find the section titled 'The Ritual:', as opposed to 'Directions'. And a ritual it is - not in the form of a religious experience or a rite of some sort but as a habit or routine. A routine I've adopted both morning and night, my skin is in love with this serum. A fan of soft, glowing skin? If so, you just may become as infatuated with this as I am.

Cheers,

ZAKIA'S MOROCCO: PURE, NATURAL & BEAUTIFUL

7/19/2016

I don't believe my skin has ever enjoyed a more enriching and organic experience than this. I started with the Moroccan Black Soap, made of olive oil, olives & eucalyptus. It begins with detoxifying and deep cleaning and concludes with softening and smoothing. While the scent is very strong, the results are very powerful.

The Ghassoul Clay Mask was my favorite. What makes your skin softer than soft? This mask! My mid-thirty face felt baby smooth. On my list of favorite masks, this is now at the top.

Rich and rejuvenating, the Organic Shea Butter with Argan Oil is comprised of vitamins A, E, F & K. Much love for this concentrated multi-vitamin moisturizer.

Cheers to you , Zakia Haman!
Thanks for producing pure and natural products that produce beautiful results.
