April showers bring May flowers?  April Showers May Bring flowers would be more appropriate.  I’m getting quite frustrated by the sluggish tulips and no-show crocus in my garden.  It’s enough to make me want to throw in the trowel and get a good stiff drink.  Thankfully body showering is much healthier and pleasant and I’m especially pleased to talk about a new product I’ve been using.

It is often said to make lemonade out of lemons but what I really love are limes.  I’ve quenched my thirst with a Brazilian bath and shower gel from Brazilian Fruit that has transported me to the beachside cafes and gum drop mountains of Rio.  The scent of Caipirinhas (a Brazilian drink made from rum, sugar and lime juice served on the rocks) is soothing and comforting.  The best part, there are NO parabens or mineral oil. 

Caipirinha shower gel is appropriate for all skin types, contains sugar cane and lemon pulp extracts to nourish your skin after a long day of work or play.  It’s important to note that the extract comes from lime pulp and will not cause photosensitivity to your skin.  I really love this at night, since I don’t go out to bars, it’s a nice compromise to carry the scent of a drink.    Check out the www.brazilbeautyproducts.com website for all the best skincare!

Don’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!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day 2008!

You may be wearing green, but have you done anything green today? 

Support an eco-friendly company that not only produces “green” products but also encourages good habits.  The Clean Logic Body Care team is dedicated to keeping the world Green by reducing waste and reusing products, something we can all do.  The most impressive thing I found out is they have plants througout the office to help absorb the airborne pollutants and negative ions!  Taking care of living things = serious dedication to the environment.  If that wasn’t enough they even carpool to work! 

Clean Logic’s Soap Sponge Product Review

It’s a soap, it’s a sponge, it exfoliates, it creates suds! and a specialty soap dish too!  There are four scents to choose from, Cucumber Melon, Lavender, Warm Vanilla and my favorite, Peach Berry!

The Soap Sponge is a great time saver, no need to pour, launder washcloths or handle slippery soaps.  Soap Sponge is four things in one.  When I first opened the package I was afraid this soap would be too harsh and strip away too much. 

After using it for two weeks my skin was unchanged!  It was gentle soap with a great scent, isn’t that a hard combination to get? The exfoliation of the sponge was just right, gentle enough for everyday use. This would make a great generic gift to keep on hand for those unexpected gift giving obligations.

I’ve always taken my skin for granted, regular cleansing, bit of moisturizing and plenty of water is about all I’ve needed.  I didn’t understand the physical discomfort dry skin causes until my son, boy2001, started getting really dry winter skin.

I gave him more fluids, tried scrubbing him, moisturizing him, nothing worked!

I’ve read that Eczema is the most common inflammatory skin disease in the world and most likely caused by our body’s immune system.  Dealing with his skin has been a struggle but as he gets older it seems more manageable than ever with the help from Aveeno products.

Aveeno Eczema Care Body Wash and Aveeno’s Eczema Moisturizing Cream have given him relief from itching away at his dry skin after just a few uses for not one but almost two full days!

His skin looks better, but more importantly he feels better about himself.  If you have dry skin of any degree Aveeno has different products to offer some relief.

The name ‘Active Naturals’ refers to some of Aveeno’s key ingredients that work together to soothe your skin,  Natural Colloidal Oatmeal, Pure Oat Essence and Ceramides.  The great thing is you can find Aveeno at your neighborhood drugstore for less than $10 each.
