Carrie: I just love Sleeping Beauty! The music, the sets, the costumes. It's so romantic!

Just Can't Live Without...Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle

By TheGlamtastic · March 2, 2010 · 0 Comments ·
I love the snow when I'm snuggled up in my sweats watching re-runs of The Real Housewives of Orange County, but when I'm hiking through hills of snow and trying to avoid patches of ice on my way to work, I don't love it so much! In fact, when I step my stiletto into a big puddle of melting brown snow - I HATE the snow.

With mountains of snow and no sunlight to be seen, the days sure can seem gloomy. While my office is decked with fabulous florescent lighting that reminds me of the light over the dentist chair, it still feels a bit BLAH my early March.

At this time of year I need a pick me up! To cheer up my body and deeply hydrate dry, itchy and flaky skin, I've become a big fan of Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle. This ultra-light body hydrator feels like you're scooping up Cool Whip with your fingers and applying it to the skin.

It quickly absorbs into thirsty skin after a steamy shower or bath. It has the fresh, happy and clean scent of grapefruit that I've started to love! It's a unisex scent that if my husband used body lotion, he may even love.

It sounds cheesy but the ultra-clean white and vibrant yellow packaging even gives off happy vibes. Silly sounding I know, especially from someone who works in beauty and fashion PR full time, but light post-shower pampering products can make the day that much brighter!

As winter trudges along, I just can't live without Origins Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle!

Are you a grapefruit girl or is there another body souffle you prefer? What moisturizer MUST we try? Tell us about it!!!

Butter Up Your Bod with Lavanila Healthy Body Butter

Butter Up Your Bod with Lavanila Healthy Body Butter 
I've been sick all week with some phantom August flu and my body is feeling the pain! Everything is sore, my skin is dry and I'm craving a weekend at Canyon Ranch and a Godfather movie marathon! But sadly, my dreams of this spa haven and quality TV time just aren't happening this weekend! 

Instead, I've been chowing down my favorite comfort foods and covering my skin in Lavanila Laboratories Healthy Body Butter. This rich, whipped cream feels buttery to the touch and melts into your thirsty skin within seconds. Using a recipe of 100% pure Shea and Cocoa Butters, it moisturizes, while antioxidants from Goji Berry and Kakadu Plum cover the skin in 30 essential vitamins and minerals. Regardless of the recipe, my skin has never felt so soft! 

It didn't leave a greasy residue on the skin or a heavy scent. It's also free of harsh chemicals, phthalates, sulfates, parabens, synthetic dyes and silicone. Who needs 'um! 

And while I still feel like a sickling on the inside, at least I look like a well-groomed, silky smooth J. Crew fashionista on the outside. 

Tried this all natural body butter? Tell us what you think!
