You don’t necessarily think of clean and green body products when you breeze into your local Victoria’s Secret store. First and foremost in most of our minds is snagging some new underwear, a decent bra that fits or maybe a sexy new PJ set. But while you’re there, think about what goes under those PJs. […]

Saint Patty's Day Pretty Picks from Sephora
Honestly, I’ve never been a fan of green beer. If it’s not some shade of honey, it’s not going past these lips. I’m celebrating St. Patty’s Day instead with a little beauty pick-me-up from the shelves of my favorite beauty store, Sephora. I’ve been a good girl lately and pulling up my bootstraps but I’m […]
Wet N Wild Crystalic Nail Color: Wet, Wild and Super Cheap
Being the beauty snob that I’ve become, I was happily surprised to find a nail polish that cost me less than $2 bucks and that worked so well. Wet N Wild nail polish has made me a true believer in the spending power of the almighty dollar (or two in this case). Take that Susie […]
A Slice of San Francisco: International Orange Bath, Bod and Hair Products
The last time the Spa Boy and I were in San Francisco, we panicked. Or at least I did. See, I was at the wheel, and after a leisurely week of tooling through wine country and up the California coastline, we arrived in the city just as rush-hour traffic was kicking into high gear. I […]
A Razor with Edge: The New Venus Embrace
A razor is just a razor, right? Not when it comes with five blades and a swivel head that rides over curves and contours without nicking your skin. The new Venus Embrace from Gillette takes the daily shave to the next level for smoother hair-free skin minus the cuts and nicks. Tired of the rather […]
Save Your Breath: New Breath Palette Toothpaste
Well it’s about time if you ask me. Minty fresh breath is nice. But boring. Enter Breath Palette toothpaste, Japan’s answer to clean, fresh and flavorful breath. Only recently available in the U.S., Breath Palette is a naturally derived line of flavored toothpastes and mouthwashes. From fruity to exotic, flavors tempt the palette with tastes […]
Singled Out: Celebrate Valentine's Day with a Single Gals Home Spa Shindig
Single and dreading the year’s gushiest holiday? Why not spaaah the singled-out holiday away with a relaxing, girls-only spa party at home? Instead of spending time and moola getting all dolled up for a date, get the gals together for a rejuvenating date at home. Soothing spa treatments + a chick flick + a cocktail […]
Princess and the Payot: Nutricia Cream for Satiny Skin
So Saturday was my first big society gala. I got the dress (a $6,000 Badgley Mischka gown marked down 90% off at Nordstrom Rack). Got my brows plucked, zits zapped and my skin airbrushed tanned (twice) to an island glow. Got that extra dash of blond highlights and my hair teased and curled. All that […]
Power of Attraction: New Moisture Magnet from Lather
It’s the ultimate winter skincare battle. The dry, scaly and often red patches that appear around your nose and mouth or cheeks during cold weather. I call it the crust factor. This year, my badge of winter runs along the crease that connects the bottom of my nose to the corner of my mouth. Only […]

Among the hundreds of exciting new beauty and spa products to debut in 2009, here are just a few of our faves. Danica Aromatics I Am perfumes. Spritz […]
Celeb Spotting with MB York
We’ve been smitten with M.B. York (aka, Mary Beth York) and her facial artillery kits since first stepping foot into her adorably girlie day spa formerly in located north Scottsdale. And we had a bit of a hissy fit when she closed it to focus more on her products. But fear not my fellow girlie […]
