I’m Heading back to school with DOVE

Dove carries some of the best body washes. I love the creamy texture and the thick lather. The scents of the body washes are fantastic especially Dove’s newest scent, Purely Pampering Sweet Cream with Peony.  The sweet peony scent lingers on your skin long after you wash and it smells so so good. I love how my skin feels after washing and I especially love that Dove is Dermatologist Recommended. Dove has NutriumMoisture™ technology which will treat your skin with natural nutrients. Your skin will feel soft and refreshed.

I have already stocked up on Dove body washes and soap bars to bring back to school. The body wash is 21 oz. and will provide me with many showers. I plan on leaving a soap bar at my sink to wash my hands and of course the fragrance of the soap will make the bathroom smell great. The Dove soap bars also contain ¼ moisturizing cream for added moisturizing. You can find Dove products at stores like CVS, Walmart, Walgreens and Target.

Lauren B Beauty Nail Couture introduces 8 NEW Fall Colors that are Perfect for Back to School

unnamed-2

Inspired by Los Angeles, each shade offers a compelling departure from the standard. For fall, her discerning eye landed on a range of influences, which she’s recast in sexy jewel tones and rich earthy shades. A sunset viewed from the Griffith Park observatory reappears as a pink-rose-khaki polish. An iridescent, shell-white tone nods to Shutters on the Beach, Lauren’s favorite local hotel and spa. A deep iris purple plays off the energy of gardens in Hancock Park. And a shimmery violet pink repeats the shade of a treasure scored at the Rose Bowl Flea Market. Bonus: Each polish is supremely eco-centric, fast-drying, and as glossy and long-wearing as a salon gel manicure!

DIY on the Fly by Julee Ireland

Turn your ordinary mead composition notebook into something too cool for school! Here’s how you do it.

1.  Start with a standard composition book

2.  Purchase scrapbook paper from your local craft store.  I love the DCWC sets at Joanne Fabrics that includes four decorative color coordinated scrapbook sheets of paper for $5.99

3.  Next. Use a glue stick and put a nice coat of glue onto the face of notebook.

4.  Align your paper with the bottom edge and the tape of your notebook and press firmly to the glue.  Use extra glue as needed to make sure your edges stay in place.

5.  Trim the excess off using your scissors and following the edge of the notebook.

6.  repeat this step on the back and the inside front and back of your notebook for a complete new look.

7.  Embellish with crystals, ribbon, trim, buttons, stickers any way you like to personalize your notebook with your own unique style.

As you head back to school, have fun being you and feeling really cool.
