There is a never-ending quest to find a product that actually does what it claims in the game of cellulite reduction. I would like to introduce you to just such product. Mama Mio Skincare’s Shrink to Fit Hip & Thigh Cream. I am impressed with this product for many reasons. After a months use I definitely saw a firmer booty will less cellulite. The website and packaging are extremely informative. They don’t just list the ingredients, they explain what each active ingredient does. And of course, as they say there are no “nasties” i.e. petrolatum,sodium lauryl sulphate, colourant etc. So try Shrink to Fit and get your booty ready for your next call…..

I love going to Victoria’s Secret, and it has nothing to do with my current shopping addiction. I leave the store smiling, because I’m in scent heaven. I don’t leave until every exposed body part has been sprayed with something different and mesmerizing. Here are my top 2.

Fragrance type: fruity floral
Top notes: nectarine, juicy apple, sparkling citrus, pineapple, guanabana, mouthwatering pear, red fruit, bergamot

2)Dream Angels Heavenly –blend of white peony, soft vanilla and creamy sandalwood

Fragrance type: vanilla oriental

Top notes: quince, cardamom

Middle notes: white peony, freesia

Low notes: white musk, sandalwood, vanilla


I love laying out and getting color, but I rarely have the time, or attention span, to spend more than an hour. That is why I’m using Maui Babe Browning Lotion. I love this Hawaiian “local secret”! It helps you achieve a sexy tan faster than usual. I’ve noticed that it also helps me achieve a more “brown” color, vs a reddish undertone. The formula is all natural and includes Kona Coffee. A major bonus is when you apply it,  you’re instantly sporting a sexy bronze glow. Like makeup for the pool 🙂 I am also crazy about their After Browning Lotion tan enhancer and Healer. It’s a silky moisturizer that leaves your skin crazy smooth. This stuff can be hard to find outside of Hawaii, so you may want to order from their website.  So get tan and silky, but I’m not responsible for the urge to run around naked showing off 🙂

My Remmington MPT-3000 Precision Trimmer Detailer. Every Man and Woman should have one of these. I have two. I live in Miami, so I’m always in a bikini. I am also incapable of getting a perfect shave. I don’t know why, but I always seem to miss some little one inch spot here or there, ankle or knee. It’s so convenient to do quick touch ups with this little pen size trimmer. I know some women that use it for pesky facial hairs, but I can not vouch for that. I recommend you test a spot and see how it grows in. There are a few good brands out there that work well. Most run under $10, and come with batteries already in them. I Can’t say the same about your other vibrating devices……….;)

CVS Continuous Spray Cocoa Butter Body Oil Dry-TouchI’m in love with dry oil. Unlike other body oils, it dries quickly and immediately absorbs into your skin. What’s better than dry oil you ask? Dry oil in a spray can! duh. That is why I use CVS Continuous Spray Cocoa Butter Body Oil Dry-Touch. You heard right. This isn’t a CVS knock off either. It’s an original , amazingly brilliant concept of their’s. It smells divine and is super fast to apply. Now you have no excuse to ever skip moisturizing. So what’s your boyfriend’s excuse for why he keeps borrowing it????……..

I recommend fake and bake, and when I do my favorite is the California Tan Sunless AutoBronzer. Unfortunately this machine is very hard to find. Most places use mystic tan. Here are the reason’s why I prefer the AutoBronzer. 1)it is an open air style machine. You are not enclosed in any sort of capsule, thus making it a claustrophobic free experience. 2) It has a dryer. When the spraying is done you turn around and face a 7 ft (ish) tall drying tower. It blows warm air at you, drying the solution to your body. Therefor no need for that after spray pat down, and less of the post spray tan stained clothes. 3) Great color and coverage. You choose your level 1-3 based on your height. you move around as the voice commands tell you to, and there you go, perfect coverage. It easily and naturally fades away, if only we could say the same about the cast from the Jersey shore….

Below is a list of hazardous ingredients to avoid in your skin care and make up products. Even if  you buy products at a health food store they can still contain some of these. I admit that I am not perfect in this department. I found this list on one of my favorite websites. Mercola.com. He is a genius Dr, Naturalist, and whistle-blower. Companies tend to use these harmful ingredients because they’re cheap and readily available. Don’t be that girl 😉

Parabens–  Studies implicate their connection with cancer because their hormone-disrupting qualities mimic estrogen and could disrupt your body’s endocrine system

Mineral Oil, Paraffin, and Petrolatum-These petroleum products coat the skin like plastic – clogging pores and creating a build-up of toxins. They can slow cellular development, creating earlier signs of aging. They’re implicated as a suspected cause of cancer. Plus, they can disrupt hormonal activity. When you think about black oil pumped from deep underground, ask yourself why you’d want to put that kind of stuff on your skin…

Sodium laurel or lauryl sulfate (SLS)-SLS combined with other chemicals may become a “nitrosamine” – a potent carcinogen.

Acrylamide-Linked to mammary tumors.

Propylene glycol-May cause dermatitis and skin irritation. May inhibit skin cell growth. Linked to kidney and liver problems

Phenol carbolic acid-Can cause circulatory collapse, paralysis, convulsions, coma, and even death from respiratory failure.

Dioxane-These chemicals are often contaminated with high concentrations of highly volatile 1,4-dioxane that’s easily absorbed through the skin. Its carcinogenicity was first reported in 1965, and later confirmed in studies including one from the National Cancer Institute in 1978. Nasal passages are considered extremely vulnerable, making it, in my opinion, a really bad idea to use these things on your face.

Toluene-Chronic exposure linked to anemia, lowered blood cell count, liver or kidney damage…May affect a developing fetus

I’ve tried a million different body washes, and rarely notice any sort of difference. I mainly grab for a nice scent, at a good price. The first time I tried Eucerin Calming body Wash I was happily surprised. It had a nice texture, and made for a perfect bubbly cleaning with my loofah. Afterwards I definitely noticed a softness to my skin. It’s fragrance free, gentle enough to be used on children, and full of Omega oils. Now you have a great excuse for why you’re in the bath for so long 😉

Sugar and Spice and everything nice. Us girls are so lovely, and captivating. We have so many ways of drawing attention to ourselves. The subtlest moves are the most powerful, that’s why I rely on my two fave “you’re mine” perfumes. Pleasures by Estee Lauder and AMARIGE by Givenchy. Pleasures is; soft, girly, flowery, made with a blend of white lily, lilac, rose ,violet, accompanied by a hint of sandalwood. When you feel like bringing out your inner Scarlett Johansson.  Amarige is my ,only on certain occasion, a “seal the deal” if you will fragrance. It’s stronger with; violet, mimosa, soft sweet spices, and orange flowers, accompanied by fruity notes of- fresh citrus, melons, peaches, and plums. More Angelina Jolie or Beyonce. Be gentle, the boys are about to be putty in your hands. Or don’t , that’s up to you.



Johnson’s Baby Oil and Shampoo are two inexpensive must haves. I use the shampoo to clean my makeup brushes. It does a great job cleaning, and is gentle enough to keep the brushes in great shape.There is nothing out there that will make your legs shinier than baby oil. It is a great moisturizer for all over, and when you’re in a short skirt it is mandatory. You can use any line. I grew up with Johnson’s so that’s what I buy. On a good day you can even find it at the dollar store. Not that you ever shop at the dollar store right ? ;)…….
