Lolita Introduces Her New Label Wines, “Wines by Lolita”


Wine connoisseurs and amateurs alike gathered in Providence Rhode Island on January 23rd to mingle, talk about their favorite wines and taste, taste, taste!   I met local entrepreneur and founder of Designs By Lolita, Lolita Healy, as she  introduced guests to her brand new label wines and sparkling rose at Gasbarro’s Wines on Federal Hill.

Three fabulous wines were available for sampling, “Ravishing Red”, “Whitty White”, and of course my favorite, “Winter Sparkling”.  I was thrilled to purchase a bottle of “Winter Sparkling” and Lolita herself autograph it. Lolita is a beautiful lady with a sparkling personality, it was a delight meeting her. Not only were “Wines by Lolita” available at special pricing, but  her beautiful limited edition hand painted champagne flutes were also available that evening for purchase.

Local chef Kaitlyn Rogers, of Easy Entertaining Inc. served up tasty hors d’oeurves throughout the evening.  Guests also had the opportunity to meet and chat with the Italian maker, Claudio Quarta of Magistravini Vineyard in Italy, as well as Lolita herself.

This Valentines Day, don’t forget to celebrate with your favorite Bottle of Lolita Wine http://www.gasbarros.com/pages/lolita and of course, a pair of “Design by Lolita’s”  commemorative hand painted Winter Sparkling glasses http://www.gasbarros.com/collections/italy/products/lolita-winter-sparkling-bellini-glass

It was a delightful evening, one I was happy not to have missed.

Couture LA LA, It’s Juicy, Pink and Perfect for Valentine’s Day

It’s Pretty, Precious, Pink, Perfect, Pastel, Pleasant, Provocative, Paragon, Passionate and Pleasing….Its Juicy Couture’s NEWEST fragrance, Couture La La and it’s is simply PHENOMINAL. I’m not sure who is enjoying this fragrance more, my daughter or myself. My daughter Adrienne has always been a huge fan of Juicy Couture fragrances and their newest one,  Couture La La by far, is her favorite.

We both find the fragrance simply luscious with top notes of fruity scents and floral bouquets. Couture La La is definitely a fragrance that can be be worn anytime of day, whether casual or dressy, this fragrance will make you feel confident during the day and glamorous at night.

My daughter was attracted to the bottle at first sight, she absolutely loved it. The glass bottle holds the perfectly pastel pink fragrance we all know and love. Did you know that the bejeweled punk rock charm dangling from the cap was inspired by an authentic necklace. The hot pink bow adds to  the chicness of the bottle.  You don’t have to love everything pink to adore this spectacular pink fragrance.  It’s the perfect fragrance for Valentine’s day or any day you want to feel special.

“CRAFT YOUR HEART OUT” with Martha Stewart Crafts

Some of my most precious Valentine’s Day cards have been homemade cards from my children. I have saved each and every one of them over the past 26 years and they are all very special to me. Nothing could be better than getting a card made from a piece of folded red construction paper with a heart fashioned out of a white paper doily glued on it. Fast forward twenty-six years later and Martha Stewart Crafts has truly made card making so much more fun and exciting.

My daughter Adrienne wanted to make a few Valentine’s Day Cards for family and friends. What started out as a quick one half hour project, turned into hours of afternoon fun with the help of Martha Stewart Crafts. She started off with Martha Stewart Crafts “Stamp Card and Envelope Set” which includes 18 scalloped edge note cards and matching envelopes with heart-accented labels. She then added her special touches and a little stamping with the “Wood Stamp Valentine’s Day Hearts”.  This set is so cute, with its set of 12 mini stamps nestled in a reusable wood crate. Let’s not forget the final touches with “Valentine Cupid” and “Valentine Cupcake” stickers. This yummy collection of stickers contains cherub silhouettes, hearts and an assortment of Valentine icons with shine, glitter and foil accents (all shown below).

 

To make things even sweeter, you can save 20% at MarthaStewartCrafts.com now through Valentine’s Day! Just enter coupon code BLOG20 at checkout.Whatever you craft for Valentine’s Day, be sure to enter it in the Martha Stewart Crafts “Craft Your Heart Out” Sweepstakes for your chance to WIN a DIAMOND HEART NECKLACE!

New L’Occitane Limited Edition Shea Butter, it’s Worth the Trip

 

 My daughter Adrienne and I recently took an exciting day trip to New York City and stopped off at one of our favorite shops, L’Occitane en Provence. We found some wonderful sales and stocked up on lip balms and body cremes.  We also managed to fit a few new L’Occitane items in our shopping bags. We couldn’t resist L’Occitane’s newest, Limited Edition Shea Butter Honey Whipped Body Cream. We purchased them for ourselves and bought a few gifts too.  This special body cream smelled delicious, so how could we resist? Shea Butter Honey Whipped Body Cream is whipped so it is very light and airy and is incredibly soft and your hands will feel silky smooth after you have massaged it into your hands.

We are not new to L’Occitane’s Shae Butter products, they are simply devine. Our biggest problem was to decide which ones to purchase. L’Occitane carries foot creams, face creams, body creams, liquid soap and so many more, all containing shae butter and with so many choices ….We ended up making some great ones. Start your shopping at http://usa.loccitane.com.

I want to share an interesting fact about Shea Butter that I found on their website, “Shea Butter is a natural beauty balm, used by women in Sub-saharan Africa. Since the 1980’s, L’OCCITANE has maintained a sustainable and fair trade partnership with the women in Burkina Faso who produce it. To further support the women of Burkina Faso, the L’OCCITANE Foundation encourages their economic emancipation by supporting literacy programs and women’s entrepreneurship projects”.

Have the Best Looking Nails in LondonTOWN

My hands are looking better and better each day and I have Londontown Kur Nail Care products to thank for it. I tend to have dry hands and cuticles and the fact that my hand are always in water doesn’t help. Unfortunately, I don’t wear gloves like I should and I am paying the price for it. Hand creams help but my nails need a little more pampering and Kur Nourishing Cuticle Oil has worked wonders. I simply apply the cuticle oil to my cuticles each night and massage into my nail plate. The cuticle oil dries rapidly without a greasy residue. I can apply the cuticle oil as often as needed and the oil will repair dry damaged skin on and around the nail area.  Kur Nourishing Oil is formulated with Britain’s rapeseed flower oil, which provides nutrients as well as a unique blend of vitamins (A & E) along with extracts that help heal and nourish your cuticles and nail root. Kur Nourishing Oil can be used with or without nail polish and is non-carcinogenic and non-toxic. I have definitely noticed a difference in my nails and cuticles since using it.

You will obtain added benefits by using Kur Restorative Nail Cream alongside Kur Nourishing Oil. As stated by Londontown,  Kur Restorative Nail Cream “works to penetrate and replenish deteriorated nail protein (keratin) and balance the natural oils in the nail to strengthen and nourish them back to health.” Kur Restorative Nail Cream basically contains the same unique blend of vitamins and extracts and aids in rejuvinating and restoring dry brittle nails. Each day, I massage the cream  into my nails and nail bed. Once or twice a week after applying the cream to my nails I wear the enclosed Londontown moisturizing gloves overnight.  Kur Restorative Nail Cream can be used over polish and is non carinogenic and paraben-free.  It really has worked wonders!

Both Kur Nourishing Cuticle Oil and Kur Restorative Nail Cream both assist in restoring nails damaged by UV gel polish, acrylics and wraps and both are vegan, gluten-free and cruelty free.

The complete line of Londontown Kur Nail Care products can be found at http://www.londontownusa.com/.

All products in the system work in unison to repair, strengthen and hydrate the nail and cuticle. If you have damaged, brittle and dried nails and cutiles, Londontown is waiting for you.

For Flu and Cold Symptoms, Kiss My Face !!

Feeling under the weather?  Is that nasty cold or flu bringing you down? If so, then it’s time to hit the shower and Kiss My Face. Don’t kiss my face, but lather up with “Kiss My Face Cold and Flu Shower Gel”.

Kiss My Face Cold and Flu Shower Gel is by no means a cure for those nasty symptoms associated with the flu, but a shower with Kiss My Face will provide you with temporary relief from your cold or flu and give you an exhilarating shower that will make you feel energized and refreshed.

I can tell you from experience, having had the flu a few weeks ago that Kiss My Face literally opened up my nasal passages and I was able to breath again which made for a super enjoyable shower. What causes this exhilarating feeling while showering? Kiss My Face Cold & Flu Shower Gel is infused with botanicals including eucalyptus, fennel, Horehound and other aromatics. Kiss My Face is formulated with skin soothers such as Olive Oil, Aloe Vera and Allantoin.

Kiss My Face Cold & Flu Shower Gel is a natural product  because “it is made primarily of natural ingredients with minimal processing. Natural ingredients are extracted directly from plants or animals as opposed to being made synthetically”.

When lathering with Kiss My Face Cold & Flu Shower Gel you will immediately smell the aroma of the Eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is also a fabulous skin soother because it cools your skin and the blend of natural ingredients will clear your senses and leave you feeling refreshed for hours. The smell of the botanicals lingers on your skin and it is a very delightful fragrance.

You don’t have to actually have a cold or flu to enjoy the benefits of a refreshing shower with Kiss My Face Cold & Flu Shower Gel. This shower gel can be used by everyone. My husband is using it on his face and enjoys the way the aroma clears his nasal passages without irritation. Kiss My Face Cold & Flu Shower Gel is formulated for all skin types and does not contain any sulfates, glutens, petrochemicals, parabens, phthalates, artificial fragrances, is vegan friendly and is not tested on animals.
