Two daughters, two looks, too many colors to choose from but they BOTH love Butter London Nail Lacquers. Butter London has an exquisite color palette, one that is very difficult to choose from. To make choosing your nail lacquer color more intriguing, Butter London offers up some interesting effects. Some of the nail lacquers are infused with glitter particles and others have metallic or holographic finishes. Whether you are feeling bold, shy, daring or casual, Butter London has a Nail Lacquer for you.
My daughters like the nail brush which they say, “it makes brushing on the nail lacquer easy and clean”. The polishes also stayed on their nails longer than most polishes. They can’t wait to get their hands on more Butter London nail lacquers.
Adrienne (shown below on the left) wanted a holographic look and chose Trustafarian, which resembles a golden sage green color. Trustafarian is part of Butter London’s Autumn/Winter Collection.
Jenna’s (shown below on the right) chose Toff, a brownish pink variation which I found to be a fabulous fall color.

LaLicious has recently introduced it newest scent “Sugar Reef”” to their best selling Bath and Body Collection. If you are not familiar with LaLicious, all of their natural bath and body collections consists of splendid scented products such as Body Oils, Body Butters, Body Soaps, Gift Sets and accessories. All the LaLicious skin products are preservative, sulfate and paraben free. LaLicious is available in eight scrumptious scents including Brown Sugar & Vanilla, Coconut Cream, Lily Mango, Passionfruit Lime, Island Guava, Tahitian Flower, Peppermint and Coffee Bean.
My daughters and I have been enjoying it’s newest scent Sugar Reef. Jenna says the Whipped body Soap “Smells great and feels great on her skin”. LaLicious Whipped Body Soap contains Coconut Oil and Safflower oil giving it its luscious scent and leaving her skin soft and hydrated. Lalicious Whipped Body Soap leaves no heavy lather which means the soap will clean your skin without drying it out.
LaLicious Exfoliating Scrubs are sensational as they exfoliate and moisturize leaving you skin feeling smooth and silky. I actually used the scrub on my hands after doing some gardening recently. I rubbed a small amount of Sugar Reef scrub into my hands and after rinsing, my hands were left clean and soft, my hands looked great!
As stated by LaLicious, “Our unique sugar scrub exfoliates, moisturizes and smooths your skin to perfection! This incredible combination of oils and cane sugar is whipped together to provide vitamins, minerals and proteins essential to maintaining beautiful youthful skin.” Did you know that scrubs containing pure cane sugar are less abrasive on your skin than salts? And best of all, sugar scrubs won’t cause cuts and scrapes to burn or sting.
LaLicious Bath and Body products are extremely versatile as well. One of my favorites, the LaLicious Oil Collection are available in 9 scents. One drop of this delicately scented oil was all I needed for unbelievably smooth and silky hands. I massaged LaLicious oil into my hands and cuticles and the oil quickly absorbed into my skin leaving no oily residue. LaLicious Oils can also be used as a hair conditioning treatment, shaving cream or even an eye make-up remover. I even used the oil to remove my eye make-up and it really did work. Sounds like a terrific travel accessory to me.
LaLicious bath and Body Products can be found throughout my house and at www.lalicious.com. The way to feeling smooth and silky is the Lalicious way.
In honor of National Coffee Day on September 29th, Eight O’Clock Coffee, America’s Original Gourmet Coffee, is demystifying coffee jargon—and explaining how to make a great-tasting specialty coffee drink at home, no fancy machines needed. Behold, your guide to creating a café coffee experience right in your own kitchen, courtesy of Eight O’Clock Coffee!
Latte- Traditionally, this is made using espresso and foamed milk. The milk to coffee ratio is 3:1.
Café au Lait- Similar to a latte, but usually uses strong brewed coffee instead of espresso and has a 1:1 ratio of coffee to milk.
Cappuccino- Usually made with equal parts espresso, steamed milk and frothed milk.
Macchiato- A traditional macchiato is a shot of espresso with a bit of milk foam. We usually think of the caramel macchiato, which is very popular at coffee shops in the US.
Frappe- A frappe is a cold blended coffee drink with chilled coffee, sugar, milk or cream and ice blended together.
Pumpkin Coffee- Virtually every coffee shop has some kind of limited-time-only pumpkin coffee, a delicious fall flavor.
Espresso: A concentrated coffee brewed by forcing a small amount of nearly boiling water under pressure through finely ground coffee beans.
Would you like to experience an invigorating Bath or Shower? Cleanlogic carries the accessories to help you do just that. Cleanlogic Bath and Body Care now offers a unique range of unisex bath and shower essentials and once you try them you won’t want to shower without them.
Cleanlogic would also like you to know that they are “the first beauty brand to include braille on their packaging. With vision loss now one of the fastest growing disabilities in the United States due to the rise of diabetes, by including braille on their packaging, Cleanlogic have created a simple and proactive way to help the 25 million blind and visually impaired individuals in the country today.” Now, tell me that isn’t truly amazing.
Cleanlogic has many items to choose from and one of my favorites (and I have many), is the Soap+Sponge. The Soap+Sponge is exactly that, a soap and sponge combined into one. While the glycerin soap cleanses your skin the antimicrobial synthetic sponge gently exfoliates, leaving your skin feeling fresh and clean. Cleanlogic Soap Sponges are available in 3 fantastic scents, Peachberry (my favorite), Lavender, and Cucumber Melon.
Clean Logic Stretch Bath and Shower Cloth is another “must-have” for bathing. This unique wash cloth stretches up to three times the size of a regular washcloth allowing you to wash the hardest to reach places. Cleanlogic wash cloths gently exfoliate and gives you a nice rich lather leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
Cleanlogic Exfoliating Body Scrubber is another one of my favorites. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of my hand and gives a very gentle scrub. The attached strap keeps the body scrubber firmly on your hand which is a plus if you are always dropping your washcloth or scrubber while showering. Try using one of Cleanlogic‘s Body Washes like Nopal & Spearmint, or Moisturizing Sugar & Rice Body Wash, they are both exceptional.
At http://www.cleanlogicbodycare.com/ choose from a variety of bath accessories, antimicrobial sponges, body washes and lotions. Cleanlogic, It’s the logical choice.
Having a large family, and everyone having different skin types, it is nice to know that Paula’s Choice offers a complete Skin Balancing Collection that addresses all skin types even those of us with Oily/Combination skin. We all agree that we want a skincare product that will leave us with a healthy well-balanced complexion.
Most of us know what Oily skin is, but what is Combination skin? People with combination skin have an oily nose and forehead but normal to dry cheeks. Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Collection is the perfect skincare product to help you achieve a well balanced complexion. As stated by Paula’s Choice, their Skincare collection features “state-of-the art formulas with ingredients tailored to help combination skin function optimally, this 100% fragrance and colorant-free comprehensive daily routine helps promote smooth, balanced skin that combats excess oiliness, clogged pores, flaky skin and breakouts.”
Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Collection consists of 5 products. You can use all 5 as part of your daily skincare routine or choose a specific product in the collection that best suits your skincare needs.
I always start my routine with a facial cleanser and Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Oil-Reducing Cleaner is guaranteed to remove excess oil and makeup. It’s pearly white, slightly thick texture, foams up slightly and rinses off easily. You will be left with a very soothing, soft, refreshed feeling. This is a great cleanser for sensitive skin and is safe to use around your eyes, it’s perfect!
Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Pore Reducing Toner is sensational because of its powerful antioxidants and anti-irratants that it contains, helping to restore damaged skin. Using this Toner assists in keeping oily areas under control. Say good-bye to those flaky, dry patches on your face, because now you will have smooth and soft skin where the dryness used to be.
After Cleansing, it is always important to moisturize and with Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Invisible Finish Moisture Gel, you will find this clear silky-textured gel extremely lightweight on your face. It absorbs quickly, helping to reduce existing redness and has a nice matte finish. Did I mention that Invisible Finish Moisture Gel helps minimize wrinkles and reduces pores, it’s fantastic.
If you are looking for a moisturizer with SPF 15 then you will want Paula’s Choice Daily Mattifying Lotion SPF 15 & Antioxidants. I always use a moisturizer with at least SPF 15 and this is a good one. It provides broad Spectrum sun protection, keeps your skin dry without shine and is the perfect choice for your skin with or without makeup.
All of the 5 products are terrific and my personal favorite is Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Super Antioxidant Concentrate Serum with Retinol. It’s an amazing oil-free, anti aging serum which feels like satin when applied. Containing antioxidants, anti irritants and retinol, this serum helps reduce wrinkles, reduce pores, and helps repair damaged skin. It is great to use around the eyes. I especially like that is helps makeup go on smoothly and lasts longer too. This serum is 100% fragrance free, and contains no dyes or coloring agents.

As my daughter Adrienne nicely put it, “Nothing is more annoying than tweezers that don’t tweeze, but there is nothing annoying about Tweezerman tweezers”. That was the experience I recently had when I was trying to find a “tweezer that worked”. She told my I could borrow her Tweezerman tweezer but to make sure I returned it to her, and I can see why. Tweezerman tweezers are truly amazing and they really do work. E every unwanted hair I wanted removed came out on the first try. With Tweezerman, I shaped my eyebrow quickly and easily. These stainless steel mini slant tweezers have “perfectly aligned, hand-filed tips to ensure precision”.
Tweezerman has also just introduced the Mix ‘N Match Runway Prints Collection available in Neon Pink or Blue and available exclusively at Sephora.
You will find an assortment of Tweezers in many colors and prints along with a wide variety of beauty tools at www.tweezerman.com.
