FLAKEY WINTER SKIN BE GONE! MY LATEST SCRUB OBSESH’S.

December 8, 2010

When it comes to grabbing for a great body scrub in the shower – I'm salty.

I like my crystals big. I like them drenched in extra oil that I can pour on my body afterwards. And it really comes down to an out of this world smell to turn what could be a mundane experience into shower nirvana.

I've got two that have been in heavy rotation for the past few months:

LALICIOUS makes some kick ass Sugar Souffle scrubs from pure sugar cane crystals, almond and vitamin oils and then some.

The Tahitian Flower Sugar Souffle Scrub ($16 oz. $34) is like a trip to Hawaii (or I guess that would be Thailand right? Never been. Hawaii is close enough). The smell is SICK. They say 'no going back' on their website and they are right. I'm making my way through every flavor (like Brown Sugar and Vanilla – yummaayy).

I alternate that one with good old HUGO'S NATURALS.

Yep, this one that you've seen before a million times in Whole Foods and is totally reasonable at $17.99.

Made from mineral rich salts, brown sugar, kukui oil, almond oil, jojoba ester and powerful emollients, the Grapefruit Himalayan Pink Salt Scrub is the big hitter out of the bunch.

A fab salt scrub really is the best way to keep winter skin moist and dry skin free. I love to add a little water to the jar and make even MORE divine smelling oil and when I'm done scrubbing just pour it all over.

Both these scrubs are totally affordable and exquisite. Not to mention why not stick this is a stocking? I'd be ga-ga over a stocking stuffer like this!

CHOCOLATE FETISH? COCO-ZEN’S GOT YOU COVERED

December 6, 2010

From chocolate body scrubs, bath salts, lotions soaps and lip glosses to truffles both vegan and regular, this line of organic, fair trade chocolate treats is so home made you feel like someone personally crafted it for you.

I really didn't think there was anything better that you could do with chocolate than eat it but it turns out that wearing it is pretty intoxicating too.

COCO-ZEN is a bonanza for freaks like me.

The lotion is now my bedside go to and the dark truffles? Well, that tin of 8 lasted all of about one day in my house.

Go crazy with your chocolate bad self here.

Even better, order a treat for the chocolate junkie in your life.

How does this sound?

Truffles-To-Share: 12-Piece

No fancy packaging here… just 12 pieces of our large dessert truffles nestled in a recyclable and biodegradable carton made of recycled paper pulp, ready to share with friends and family.

Choose either single flavor or sampler:
– Original Signature Sampler
(Chai, Mint, Orange & Dk Choc – 3pcs each)
– Summer Berries Sampler
(Strawberry & Raspberry – 6pcs each)
– Classic Nut Butter Sampler
(Almond, Hazelnut, Peanut – 4pcs each)

Please Note: Our large dessert truffle "balls" are similar to traditional "French truffles", in which the ganache centers are made with fresh organic heavy cream. While the high cream content makes our truffles a truly rich and decadent treat, it also makes them perishable with a limited shelf life. We recommend shipping our truffles via Priority Mail and refrigerating them within 2-3 days upon receipt if not consumed. If refrigerated, our truffles will remain fresh for up to 10 days.

PRICE:

$25.00
$29.00 Almond Nut Butter

I got my daughter out of Princess clothes. You can too. Deprogram with GLUG.

December 2, 2010

It's a major score when I can steer my 4.5 year old girl away from all things Disney when it comes to her predominantly pink and purple sparkle-princess inspired wardrobe. No matter how hard you try the Princess crap will creep in whether you like it or not. It's preschool DNA or something. It's a wardrobe malfunction nightmare that I've surrendered to. It's at the point now where I save myself a Target return-shlep and go straight for the giant Ariel swathed nightgown.

But something cool happened when I slipped her a little GLUG.

(Did you got to the website yet? Plotzing.)

SHE DUG IT.

You can imagine my glee.

I picked up a few pieces purely as an experiment and with basically no prodding, she was like: I DIG IT! (More like "I can wear this skirt tomorrow and Noa (her BFF) is gonna loooveee it! Is it so cool, mom?")

Click here for retail stores that sell it and online shops.

I shop for my daughter here.

And when my baby boy gets bigger I'll shop for him here.
