Olay Calm Release Body Wash Violet and LavendarDon’t be a HOT Racker! 

I love this stuff, a drugstore find, it’s affordable and readily available.  No bathroom should be without Olay’s Calm Release, super sweet smell and non-drying formula.  Lavender just makes me feel good, how ’bout you?

So comforting and relaxing, it’s a total favorite.  In addition to the scent the formula is gentle and moisturizing, my skin feels so good when I use this, it’s awesome to use right before bed.  Speaking of bed-time rituals, I’m always surprised when people don’t take showers at night, it’s so refreshing to get the days worries off and start fresh the next day, don’t you think? 

I can’t help but think of a derogatory Navy term for people who don’t bathe at night, “hot rackers”… rack = bed, and hot = not bathed.  I can’t help but think this to myself in the back of my mind if I can’t shower at night, like right now because it’s so late I don’t want to disturb all the sleepy heads in the house!

Thanks to Total Beauty and CEW for the chance to try this fantastic product!

Space NK Seduction Bodycare Origami Box Product Review

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments

spacenkseduction1.jpg Space NK’s Seduction Bodycare essentials set comes in a nice box that features origami cranes in different colors all over it.  

Having lived in Japan, I love to see anything origami. I have the bodywash and body balm in seduction which smells amazing. 

The bodywash has a much stronger version of the scent than the body balm.  Described as a “fresh blend of fig leaves and freesia in a sensual earthy base of amber and musk” confused me at first, I’ve never smelled fig leaves before!  so let me put it simply for you - it smells good! 

It’s not fruity or flowery so very nice to have on hand for a man.  If you’re not going to use it right away open it and put it in your linen closet for some towels that smell wonderful.  $55 for the set @ SpaceNK
