Bath Salts Make a Thoughtful Gift

2008-02-14T10:25:00.000-08:00

Flowers are a great Valentines Day gift but have you considered giving bath and body products to your sweetheart?

Ladies love sweet scented body lotions, bubble baths and bath salts. We love the beautiful colors and pretty packaging. We pretty much adore most everything about these luxurious, soothing and pampering gifts.

Women these days are facing a lot more stress than they used to so by giving the gift of relaxation and pampering you are letting us know you appreciate and acknowledge our hard work and efforts. We would love to share these gifts with you most of the time but just know that we will want to use them alone as well! A little me time makes a great gift as well.

Ladies Try a Romantic Bubble Bath For Your Guys Valentines Gift

2008-02-13T12:29:00.000-08:00

Hey ladies it is almost V-day the most celebrated day for romance of the year! What have you come up with for your guy this year, a pair of red socks or a cupid tie? Maybe you are giving the same old tired silk boxers with hearts on them.

Try something new and give the gift of yourself. Your husband will be so amazed to come home and find the kids at grandmas for the night and you standing there ready to give him your full attention!

What ever the plans are for dinner and drinks just keep it romantic then lead him to the bathroom where he will find a romantic bubble bath waiting for him. Give him the massage for once and wash his back. We know we love so you can bet he does too!

Taking a nice long soak in a relaxing, romantic environment with just the two of you may remind you both of just how special you are to each other!

Support Only Cosmetic Companies That Do Not Test On Animals

2008-02-05T16:05:00.001-08:00

I love cosmetics! I love wearing them, shopping for them and buying them as gifts. I do not need a special occasion or reason to shop for a new make up product it is just something that has always been a lot of fun for me. Now my daughter has joined me in my lust for cosmetics and as we searched through some of the labels she asked me what it means when it says not tested on animals.

This innocent question has got me thinking about how we have seen the fight for putting an end to animal testing and the cruelty that goes along with it but I should still be talking actively about this to my daughter and really all mothers should make this a point with their daughters.

Let us not forget what animals have endured for us all in the name of vanity. I know some companies still animal test and I am telling my daughter to spread the word so her friends will not spend money with these cruel cosmetic companies. All you have to do is picture the poor bunnies getting their beautiful fur shaved off to stick on patches and then enduring painful tests with no anesthetic during the entire process or force feeding animals such as dogs, lipsticks and mouthwash over time. Any animal that survives testing are killed.

Choose your cosmetics wisely and do not give any of your money to a company that hurts any of Gods creatures for such a frivolous purpose such as our enhanced beauty it simply is too high a price.

Looking Good In a Pink Cadillac and of Course Mary Kay Cosmetics

2008-02-04T20:03:00.000-08:00

When most women think of pink they think of Mary Kay Cosmetics. A new generation of women may be thinking of Victoria’s Secret but for sure we can all agree that when it comes to cosmetics Mary Kay has cornered pink!

This feisty business woman started up her business in 1963 in Dallas, Texas. After seeing how much smoother and younger looking the skin of a tanner was she used his wonderful recipe to create the original 9 items in the now famous and much sought after cosmetics line.

Mary Kay Cosmetics are sold all over the world by independent beauty consultants and if you are interested in a job that allows you to work from home and earn lavish prizes for sales goals then this may be the opportunity you have been waiting for.

There is one more thing I need to mention here; the car. The prize of all prizes is the pink Cadillac awarded to the companies top producers in the United States. In Europe the car is a pink Mercedes and in Argentina they are awarded with a pink Ford but in Australia they get a choice. They get to choose between a Ford Falcon and a Volkswagen Beetle. Not to be left out Chinas superstars get a Volkswagen Santana and last but not least all the Nordic countries get a pink Volvo. God Bless America and the Mother country! If I have to drive a pink car it better be the caddy or the Mercedes!

Discount Cosmetics Saves Both Time and Money

2008-01-31T10:04:00.000-08:00

I am sick and tired of paying too much for things just because our society has decided that designer clothes, handbags and glasses deserve a huge mark up for the label they carry.

You can see this in cosmetics as well. I am done over paying for face creams, mascaras and lipsticks that I can find for less than half the price of those cosmetic boutique make ups in the department stores by shopping at my local Walgreens or CVS pharmacies!

I like a variety of colors to choose from and by shopping for discount cosmetics my selection can be much larger and still keep more money in my bank account. These discount cosmetics have the same ingredient that the more expensive brands do and quite frankly I like a lot of them much better!

Another benefit to shopping for discount cosmetics at our corner drug or grocery store is sheer convenience. I can pick up my daughters prescription and check out a new shade of lipstick while I am at it.

Bath Time is Fun Time!

2008-01-30T12:03:00.001-08:00

Bath Time should be fun time for your child. Many parents complain that they have to fight their kids when it comes time to take a bath. I have been very fortunate that I have not experienced that problem but experts agree that parents need to win this battle in a peaceful way!

Creating a fun and safe bath environment for your baby is important and by providing colorful toys for your baby to play with you can create a nice relaxing experience for both you and your child.

My kids loved bath time and would play as long as I would let them stay in there! I remember them laughing at their little pruned fingers and toes as we would dry them off. Also you will be able to find some really great storage nets and baskets for your baby toys that will allow them to drain out and stay clean and sanitary until the next time.

In Orange County Cosmetic Surgery is Quite Common

2008-01-24T17:06:00.000-08:00

If you are considering cosmetic surgery you need to realize that choosing your plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions that you will be making. Check the Doctors credentials and do not be afraid to ask for references.

Being Board certified is very important but meet with your doctor prior to agreeing to anything and be very clear on what the procedure you are asking for involves as well as all the fees that will be associated with your surgery.

My friend is from California and she knows people who live in Orange County and she jokes that Orange County cosmetic surgery offices are on every corner! No wonder they say all the beautiful people are from California!

I am of the mind that you should be happy with who you are and if it means making a little improvement here and there so what? If it makes you happy you should do it. Just be cautious and take all the necessary steps to ensure your health and happiness.

Women Want More Natural Cosmetic Ingrediants

2008-01-17T21:32:00.000-08:00

Cosmetics are a blessing to many of us women and we love to try out all the newest advances in beauty and skin care products. There is much to love about make up and the benefits we receive from it but there is a down side that we may not pay enough attention to.

Everything we put on our faces and near our eyes could have consequences if we are not careful. Knowing what is in our cosmetics should be more important to us than if the color is that latest and greatest arrival of the season but many times the ingredients that are clearly marked go unread. Sometimes causing irritating results or may trigger an allergy, hives or worse.

At time we may not recognize what an ingredient really is. There are books and articles that are a great resource to help us understand what we are using on our bodies and to help us understand their effects.

Many cosmetic companies have become very conscious and have done a wonderful job keeping their cosmetic ingredients as pure and natural as they can. As we move into the future women want this trend to grow and while we still want to achieve beauty we are caring about our inner health a little more than perhaps we were in the past.

Thank You Cover Girl Cosmetics For Affordable Quality All These Years

2008-01-16T17:08:00.001-08:00

I love the fresh look and smell of Cover Girl foundation and powder. I am amazed by the fact that I can walk into any grocery, drug or discount store and find cover girl cosmetics and buy them at a very reasonable price when powders and foundations that are not as quality in my opinion require a trip to the mall and carry a very hefty price tag on top of the inconvenience!

Cover Girl cosmetics were started in Baltimore, Maryland in the 1950's by the maker of Noxema. I love the smell of Noxema and it is the same idea for a medicated make up that gives my favorite foundation that wonderful scent.

Cover Girl has come along way since the fifties and they now have one of the most helpful websites when it comes to checking out what their newest makeup collection has to offer. You can check out new colors and even find money saving coupons on their newest and most popular products.

When it comes to looking your best the good people at Cover Girl have proven that it does not take your whole pay check to achieve beauty. It takes a company dedicated to giving the public quality products at reasonable, affordable prices.

Bath Tubs Can Add Value to Your Home

2008-01-10T12:11:00.000-08:00

f you are thinking about buying a new home or remodeling your current home you should spend a little time browsing through all the different types of bath tubs available today!

From the early claw foot tubs to the fully enclosed hydro massage bath tubs on the market today there are so many choices it can make your head spin. Having an up to date bath room is very important when you are ready to sell your home so if you are thinking that some day you may consider a move you should do something nice for yourself now and upgrade your bath tub.

Whirlpool tubs are a great way to come home and soak away a tough day. Hydro massage tubs are the next generation of the whirlpools. The makers of bath tubs are finally getting the message that the public wants a larger tub so that is good news for all of us.

Think about upgrading the surrounds around your bath tub in an elegant tile or marble to match your floors or counter tops. Today the bathrooms are holding the key to making or breaking a sale. Certainly when you buy your next home you will appreciate seeing the upgrades that have been done to it or if you buy custom this is not an area to cut corners!

LOreal Cosmetics Has Freshest Looks For Spring

2008-01-09T12:51:00.000-08:00

This year the word on the street for the hottest cosmetic looks for spring is going to be the ones that have soft shimmer and a look of innocence.

Soft, pale and delicate are the buzz words for spring. The look to be achieved is feminine yet mystical. Sounds like fun to try anyway! I love testing out all the new shades each season as the cosmetic companies all start ramping up their new colors and products.

LOreal cosmetics always seem to have the most beautiful displays in the stores that catch my eye and draw me right in! I love to play in the new frosty shades that are out for spring and by the time it really is spring I will own most of their new collection if not all. If you do not believe me as to how tempting it can be go into any local drug store of an Ulta cosmetics store and have a peek for yourself.

Spring is going to be absolutely beautiful this year! I can already see it!

Best Bath and Body Spa is Right at Home

2008-01-03T23:08:00.001-08:00

I love the thought of a spa day complete with a massage and facial but I must confess that the favorite moments of pampering in my life have been in the comfort of my own home.

My husband recently surprised me by purchasing a professional massage table and taking a few massage classes. Let me tell you he learned well. There is nothing better than a nice long romantic candle light soak in warm bath of my favorite bath gels from my family who knows I love that type of thing and then getting a full body massage and being able to slip into a blissful sleep.

The cost cannot be beat. I of course will return the favor and so it goes. You can turn your home into the best bath and body spa in town if you just look for ways to make you love your home.

My home is my favorite place on earth because it makes me think of my loved ones and I cannot think of a better place to relax and unwind and enjoy a day.

Bath Body Bridal Gift Regsitry Offers Much More

2008-01-02T13:46:00.000-08:00

After my sister bridal shower I went home and joked with my husband of 15 years that we should divorce and get married again just for all the cool gifts we could get!

I could not believe the haul my sister and her fiancée made that day! They were registered as Bed Bath and Beyond and Crate and Barrel and let me tell you I was absolutely amazed that a bath body bridal gift registry could include so many wonderful things for the home as well as sensual body care ideas for the newly weds!

I chose to get them a very nice sheet set along with linen sprays and champagne bubble bath. It was fun to see where practical met sensual and trendy! There are all kinds of fun twists on common household items and gadgets that can make a fun and appreciated gift when getting a fresh start in life.

If you are going to be married soon I highly recommend that you register at a bath and body store and see what kind of goodies you bring home!

Burt's Bees Introduce New Customers to Organic Cosmetics

2007-12-28T09:03:00.001-08:00

One of the fastest growing organic cosmetics companies today is Burt’s Bees. I am sure just about everybody has heard of them and most have tried the products.

These earth friendly products are made from a company that has deep core values in doing the right thing. Or as they say every thing they do is for the greater good. Burt’s Bees strives to be an earth friendly natural body care product line that is hoping to improve the well being of its consumers while maintaining the good of the earth.

I love their products made from natural products of the earth such as fresh bees wax and herbs, flowers, minerals and essential oils. They smell great and I know they are good for me and the planet.

If you are interested in finding some good organic cosmetics I highly recommend that you give Burt’s Bees a shot. I know you will be happy that you did!

The Grinch Visits The Bed, Bath and Beyond Store

2007-12-27T08:59:00.000-08:00

I have to admit that my local Bed, Bath Beyond store saved Santa this year.
To be honest I was sick of shopping and really tired of fighting my way through crowds at the mall to pay for overpriced items that would be forgotten in a week or two. Does that sound a bit grinchish? I supposed it does but I get better!

My husband and I having drawn names of both my sister and her new husband to be their secret Santa seemed like an odd twist of fate but it really turned out to work out to our advantage. We were able to use the Bridal registry they had at Bed, Bath and Beyond and complete the many items they had wished for and not received.

It was a dream come true as I pulled into the parking lot to find front row parking and an available shopping cart. We were off to a great start! Then to see if they had the items I needed. It was amazing but the staff actually helped me locate my gifts and were friendly! After that my mood was lighter and I was able to find stocking stuffers galore so that saved me from having to search the mall!

Happy is the day when Rudolph and all the plastic Christmas ornaments are packed away and we can walk into our stores again without seeing them. I do not know how you feel about that but I am weary of Christmas by the time Thanksgiving rolled around! Since when does Halloween mean you missed out on all the best Christmas decorations? Anyway I am thankful for Bed Bath and Beyond for doing a good year round business.

Cosmetic Free Samples Will Save you Lots!

2007-12-18T16:37:00.001-08:00

Cosmetics can be an expensive investment in ourselves that we are willing to pay for but how do you feel when you purchase a product for top dollar only to be disappointed when you get it home and try it on?

The most expensive cosmetic is the one you should not have purchased! How can you tell if you will like the way the product works on you? Many times we know we are taking a gamble but more and more companies are offering free samples to help their customers try their cosmetics before paying the price.

Another way to try out cosmetics before purchasing is to get a make over at a make up counter. Estee Lauder, Lancôme, Clinique and Chanel all offer full service cosmetic counters ready to show you how you can look your best in their product. Usually after purchasing the will give you a goodie bag full of their cosmetic free samples.

Getting samples of high end cosmetics is always the best idea. Like me, most of my friends have a make up drawer full of mistakes that remind us of all the money we have wasted. Do not feel cheap when asking for free samples, feel smart!

Ionic Foot Bath Has Intrigue

2007-12-10T16:59:00.001-08:00

Have you heard of an Ionic foot bath? I have not until just recently and I must admit that I am intrigued by the idea that you can rid yourself of toxins through your feet.

For years people have always been detoxifying by taking saunas or hot baths to sweat them out but now with this new invention it is less time consuming and more effective from what they are saying.

I have not tried doing this yet but I am giving it some serious thought. You can find people who say it is a total scam and others who swear it is the new miracle cure for the toxic build up in our bodies that can lead to disease and sickness.

Ionic footbaths work by sending small currents through the body and create positive ions that attach to negatively charged toxins and then eliminate them. Sounds simple? Yes I bet it did and that is because I just summarized it! It is a little more complex than that but it is a science of positive and negative.

People who use pace makers should not use this product as it could cause some serious issues for them. I am going to look for a good Ionic foot bath and buy it as a Christmas gift to myself this year and I will even let me open it early!

Are Mineral Cosmetics a Better Choice For You?

2007-12-08T13:54:00.000-08:00

Fashion and beauty trends come and go but the ones that have staying power are the trends that have actual truth behind their claims.

One of the newest trends is mineral cosmetics. I doubt there are many women who have not heard of Bare Minerals the hottest cosmetics on the market today!

This new fad is being driven by the growing awareness of living a more natural and healthy life style and becoming more environmentally friendly in our existence.

All areas of the market place are jumping on board with these sentiments so it is really no surprise that the cosmetics industry is joining in on the movement but is it really a better product and thus a better choice of cosmetics for us?

Supporters are generally those that need minimal coverage. Mineral cosmetics are sheer and good for sensitive and dry skin types but as I mentioned if you are looking for coverage for acne this will not make you happy.

I am hearing all kinds of support in favor of the more natural make ups made with minerals because they are not made from a talc base but there is still no proof positive if talc is bad for you so until then I am not able to say for sure until the tests come back as conclusive.

Mud Bath Will Melt Your Stress Away

2007-12-04T14:58:00.000-08:00

I had my first mud bath recently and I have to say it was really very nice. I really had different perceptions of what to expect and was feeling a little apprehensive and silly about the whole thing but in the end I have come out of the experience as a believer in mud bath therapy!

If you have not had the luxury of a mud bath you may be wondering like I did what could possibly be so great about sitting in mud! First of all I have learned that it is not just regular mud like you may find your kids tracking onto your freshly cleaned kitchen floors on a rainy day. Different spas will use different recipes for their mud baths some use volcanic ash, peat moss and spring water.

Again I know what you may be thinking and that it just sounds dirty and messy but I can assure you that it is very relaxing. Your body feels warm and weightless with no pressure points on the body. You will feel like you are floating in the warm mixture.

The warmth from the mixture that is kept a few degrees above body temperature caused me to perspire and that is what they told me will help the complexion rid itself of impurities. I am not totally sold on that but it sounds pretty nice so I will go with it!

After the mud bath you will get a nice fresh water spa bath and if you like you can get a massage and at that point you will find that a nap sounds like the only thing you will want to do! Talk about relaxing! A mud bath should definitely be on your list of things to try.

Merle Norman Cosmetics Offer Quality Products With Personal Service

2007-12-01T13:40:00.000-08:00

If you like to shop for make up then I am quite certain that you have heard of the family owned, Los Angeles based company called Merle Norman Cosmetics that is dedicated to helping women feel better about them selves by teaching them the basics in how to look better.

When you visit a Merle Norman studio it is more than just shopping it is an experience in skin care and make up application. Merle Norman was a pioneer in having the beauty consultants highly trained to help their customers receive the know how to use their products to their fullest and best possible uses.

Your Merle Norman beauty consultant really does care and will work with you to find the best products available that suite your specific needs.

I love shopping at Merle Norman Cosmetics with my daughter as it helps to teach her the proper care of her skin and how she should be applying her make up to create a classy look for her young age. It is a great way to spend an afternoon with your daughter, mother or friend.

Cosmetic Bags More Important Than the Cosmetics?

2007-11-29T11:20:00.001-08:00

This year my daughter will be getting a couple very cute cosmetic bags for Christmas. She loves Victoria’s Secret and uses the paper bags from the store that are used to put purchases in to keep her ever growing collection of make up in until very recently when tragedy struck and our family cat, Chase shredded them!

Up until that moment I had assumed that anything that could hold the assortment of the ever growing collection of colorful face icings would be greeted with thanks and appreciation so I brought my daughter an old straw purse with the cutest fabric lining to help clean up the cosmetic spill.

My daughter was horrified when she saw what I was proposing and said she would rather use a trash bag! Upon further investigation into the rejection I just had faced I have learned that the younger girls are very in tune to what holds there make up is as important as the cosmetics themselves.

I was further educated and discovered that Victoria’s Secret has a large assortment of acceptable, cute bags specifically designed to hold massive amounts of beauty items that would be allowed in her room.

Ulta Cosmetics store also carries several brands of cosmetic bags that are fun and funky for young girls today. With that lesson learned it has given me the opportunity for a Christmas gift that I would not have thought of on my own!

Natural Bath Salts Add Balance to Your Life

2007-11-26T16:43:00.001-08:00

Relaxing in a warm fragrant bath of natural bath salts is a luxury that we should all indulge in to protect our physical and mental health.

It is not very often that we pamper ourselves but we should start doing more of it. Soaking in bath salts has been proven to be a health benefit because natural bath salts are loaded with minerals and salts that our body needs.

Natural Bath salts are made from sea salt that many proclaim to have all kinds of special soothing and healing qualities. Some natural beauty experts claim that the ionizing effects of the salts help to balance your body and help your energy flow become stronger.

Other health benefits of sea salt includes the easing of muscle tensions, sooths eczema and other skin conditions. It also helps with concentration, reduces stress and is known as a wonderful sleep aid. When mixed with natural herbs and floral scents this can be a heavenly and healthful experience!

Next time you feel guilty about sneaking away for a nice relaxing soak in your favorite natural bath salts just remember you are doing it for your health and your family needs you to be healthy!
