Now that all this crazy business of football games and golf opens is nearly over (What a weekend, huh Phoenicians? Apparently, we were standing next to Nick Lachey this morning at the ESPN broadcast center in Scottsdale but were totally distracted by the cutest beagle puppy wearing a Giants jersey. Duh.), we’re back to the business of sniffing down the latest, greatest feel-good products. And this week, SpaGirl Alyssa hit the jackpot. Here’s what she dug up.
Do you ever roll out of bed, look in the mirror expecting to look fresh and rested and (gasp!) you see chapped lips and dull skin? We all have days when we feel less than dazzling. I’ve searched high and low for a magic morning wand to wave these ragged days away, but I promise it doesn’t exist. Fret not! In my searches I discovered a next best alternative. I came into the SpaGirls office one morning and found a clear bag with a cute polka dot bow tied around it. Upon examining the contents I discovered enough delicious fragrances to make up for the breakfast I missed this morning. All the delectable products were from Ciao Bella, a natural body and skincare line that combines botanicals, vitamins, minerals and essential oils. The complete line of bath, body, face and hair products integrates well into a daily routine. Lotions, scrubs and lip balm galore! Now, I own more than my fair share of products and really hate playing favorites but with Ciao Bella’s Yuzu Grapefruit Sugar Scrub, I’m not sure there are words describe how a product could be so luscious and effective at the same time. The scent reminds me of early morning on a beach somewhere tropical. As a sugar scrub should, it exfoliates away the dullness, leaving a perfect amount of oil to nourish the newly buffed skin. The sugar scrub is also available in fourteen (yes 14!) other scents, including vanilla, lemon verbena and sweet almond. So, you jump out of the shower, smelling like a beach and glowing like the sun, and now there’s no time to apply a full face of make up before work. Ciao Bella’s Margarita Lime all-natural flavored lip balm will shine up those chapped lips and send you on your way. This lovely line of natural skin and body products lives up to its name. It will have you looking in the mirror and thinking “Hello, Gorgeous!” Check it out for yourself at www.ciaobellabody.com. Photo: Lavender Rejuvenating Sugar Body Treatment from Ciao Bella, $24.
