LaLicious Smells Delicious!

29 Feb

The name says it all. LaLicious is a delicious smelling all natural bath and body line that will leave you feeling soft and smelling sweet.  I love  the smell of  LaLicious scrubs( moisturizing without being greasy) and body butters. I mean it’s like aromatherapy, only better. Imagine something perfectly sweet but not over the top or  artificial smelling. . LaLicious has a variety of scents to choose from, my favorite is the brown sugar and vanilla OMG it smells so good! Prices range from$12 for lip butter to $34 for body scrubs. You can shop by scent on the LaLicious website.

Can’t get enough of this facemask

28 Feb

I love a good facemask and I can’t get enough of Origins clear improvement active charcoal mask.  The activated charcoal acts like a magnet to draw out dirt and toxins. It makes me feel like a spring chicken, seriously my face is  tight ( not in a dry way)and clean feeling when I rinse it off. It’s super easy to use, I just put a hot towel on my face to open the pores, followed by the mask. I leave it on until it dries like armor, that thing won’t budge. The reviews are excellent online as well,g lad to see I’m not the only person who loves it.  ($22) available at Origins.

Spring Daytime Function Attire,( perfect the dressy without being overdressed look)

27 Feb

Spring is right around the corner and so are the Birthday BBQs, Baby& Bridal showers,Luncheons,Day dates, etc. Daytime attire can be a bit tricky because you want to look super cute but not over the top or “evening”.  At least with evening events, when all else fails that LBD always works…not so much in the day. Some of my favorite go to  looks for “dressy day” are sleeveless print dresses, button up dresses, skirts with cute blouses, belted dresses and floral anything. Here are a few looks that’ll work for pretty much any daytime affair. LOVE! Wedges, feminine sandals, and strappy heels go great with all these looks. Long sleeve button up dress($160), Nude chiffon dress with feather detail($46), sleeveless graphic orange print dress($118),all available at Nordstrom.  Sleeveless belted print dress($29.95) available at H&M.  Orange belted long tank dress with button detail($24.80) and yellow skirt($17.80) both available at Forever21.

Flash Sale Sites

25 Feb

Flash sale websites are member only websites that hold timed sales at up to 60% off of designer clothes and accessories etc(private shopping clubs). You must be invited by an existing member or sign up to get on a wait list, which usually aren’t very long.  The benefits are HUGE!  There are sales all the time and these sites keep you in the loop with emails so you know exactly what designer is going on sale and when. These sales only last 24-48 hours, so be sure to check often and early.  Most of these sales start at 11 a.m or noon.

There are many flash sale sites, here are my favorites.

  • Ideeli
  • Gilt Group
  • Billion dollar babes
  • RueLaLa
  • Beyond The Rack
