Soaps that do the body good


I am sooooo into these very large scented soaps.
They smell so great and lather very well. They are
a bit expensive but worth it for the size and smell
and again the fact that they lather and hold up well.
Unfortunately I could not find my favourite Pre de
Provence French Milk Soap. See it online but it's a bit
dear so will have to have my fingers cross that I will
get lucky and come across it again. Damn, should have
bought more that day.
The three that I have here have awesome scents of Asquith
& Somerset's English Lily and not sure who the Egyptian
Cotton and Almond are by--but they smell fab.

Au Lait Milk Soap


Yesterday whilst in TK Maxx I was quite disappointed once again to not find the Pre de @Provence@ milk soap that I have fallen in love with in the bath. It's very nice and lathers really well. Too bad I only managed to buy one bar of it thinking that it would be a waste of money. So now I will have to give this new one a try from Scottish soaps. It's called Au Lait and I am hoping it will work the same as the other brand. They are a bit dear but well worth it in a discount shop compared to what you'd pay for it elsewhere.

Got some cool freebies today from the Ocen Company.
It's a cool little diary to keep. A couple bottles

Hand Soap and Avocado & Oatmeal Clay mask from Freeman's.
Great things to try out huh ;-)

OPI Y SO HI?




I love O.P.I. nail varnish but it is ridiculously expensive.
Almost $9 a pop! Sure it's better than Revlon and Sally Hansen
but good grief why so bloody much?
I splurged and bought a few bottles lastweek but that was
solely because they were on sale at Ulta Buy 2 get 1 Free plus
a $'s off coupon. Only cost me about $14 for 3 so that's a good
deal but wow. I find myself buying colours that are useful for
me as well as few others who wear it.

Bold eyeshadow




I've always loved that bold look of heavy eyeshadow and especially
with a 70s look of big bumped up hair. So sultry and sexy.

The Smell of Lemon


Thought I would give this bath gel a try. It's
by Avalon Organics and it's great! Got it at
Wal-Mart a few days ago. It's a nice and not too
overpowering lemon scent that really stays on after
the shower. This bottle was on clearance for $5 and
I hope they still have more when I go back. At regular
price it's $10.95 so I got a pretty good deal on this
one. It comes in other scents as well in the rest of
the AO range. Think I will give the peppermint a try
or should I after that massive stock up at Tmas on
Peppermint Twist from Bath & Body Works.

I "Heart" Juicy Couture Fragrance


Whilst I am not the biggest fan of the
Juicy Couture fashion line I can say that
they do a lovely scent in their perfumes.
I recently received a wonderful gift of Juicy
Couture. Well actually it was Juicy Viva la Juicy
but I am a bigger fan of the original.
Lovin' my Juicy Couture EDP! Thanks J E and G!

Trying a natural solution with apple cider vinegar


This afternoon I thought I would give the
Apple Cider Vinegar hair rinse a try in an
effort to regrow my hair. Not sure what has been
going on with it as of the past few years but I
am losing too much of it on a daily basis. Even more
seems I have spent a lot of money on various OTC products
including shampoos, conditioers, treatments, pills, etc.
to control the mass shedding and breakage. My hair used to be
at least 15" and now it's about 10-11". :-(
Hopefully this natural application of apple cider vinegar and
Mane N'Tail will work.
In a few days I think I will do an Aphogee Keratin treatment.
Come'on somethings got to give.

True Vision perfume


LOL okay thought I would give this
perfume a try. It's a fake version of
True Religion. It was on clearance $2.99 so what the
hell. Not too bad but a tad strong so
I would not bother wearing it too much.
Smells a little like Gucci Rush but better.
The last fake I bought was of one of the
JLOs and it was really good. Very soft and pretty
scent. These came from Cato and they are not too
bad. Thinking of getting the Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy.
