Pull Yourself Together:
On Soft Skin
January 30th, 2012 By

Surprisingly, I have very soft skin. I don’t know how that is, since I drink enough wine & vodka to suck my skin dry like a cactus. And I never drink water. In fact, I hate water. Hate the taste of it. The only thing I can drink that is remotely similar to water is seltzer. So, my secret to soft skin is either genetics or bath products, and since I don’t like giving my parents too much credit for anything, why don’t we go with the latter. An ex-boyfriend once referred to my hands as being “as soft as his grandma’s.” Needless to say, we’re not together anymore. However, my relationship with the products/brands below has remained tried and true—after all, they’ve been much gentler on me than my ex.

Shop under $10 from Head to Toe February 18th, 2010 By

The 2009 holiday season is now a distant memory, but is your wallet still recovering from a full season of holiday shopping? Here are some of my favorite finds for $10 or less.

 

beso frugal without skimping on small treats to pamper yourself from head to toe.

I was first introduced to Herbacin Cosmetics Kamille Glycerin Hand Cream by the sales girl at Anthropologie.  The natural chamomile extracts combined with vegetable glycerin and silicone softens the skin and protects against the harsh winter weather.  What a small price to pay for soft, smooth hands?   Hang on ladies, spring is just around the corner!  Warm thoughts come easy with a pair of Valentina Popcorn Mittens and Chenille Mary-Jane Slippers.  They will keep you warm and a Schweppes Ginger Ale Scented Soy Wax Candle will lift your spirits to hold you over for the next few weeks as the weather begins to warm up.  Two other great finds are this satin beaded headband to add some sparkle to your day, and my favorite for this month, the Envirosax reusable, reversible, marshmallow shopping bag.
