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 🙂
I got a great manicure today. I am a creature of habit when it comes to my nails. I do clear on my hands and Essie’s Fiji on my toes. I’ve been using Fiji for 10 years now. It looks so good on tan feet. Today my manicurist suggested something amazing, and I was inspired to try something different on my hands. Here is the formula; 1 coat Essie True love followed by 1 coat Essie Sugar Daddy. The result is, perfect, sheer, natural, pinkish, fabulousness! So try true love with sugar daddy, it seems to work for a lot of chicks in hollywood ;)….
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……….;)
I’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????……..
So is my absolute favorite concealer to all other concealers. Cle de Peau Concealer is not cheap. It will run you around $70. But, if you’re looking for the ultimate in concealer, especially when it comes to that hard to cover under eye area, this is the one. I prefer to warm it up with my fingers before applying to the eye area. If I want to go the extra mile I find layering Cle de Peau under lancome Effacernes waterproof under eye concealer equals perfection. Now that you’ve covered up those bags under your eyes from partying all night, please do something about the stench of alcohol leaking out of your pores!
..when it comes to pores, duh. So I use Clinique’s Pore Minimizer instant perfector. This light weight cream minimizes the appearance of pores, eliminates oil, and gives a silky soft surface to decorate with your fave makeup. A little goes a long way. I’ve had one tube for over a year. When your pores minimize, the guys maximize!

…of impurities, dead skin cells, black heads, pore blockers, etc. It’s easy with Giovanni D:tox system Purifying Facial Mask. The mask is full of natural ingredients, most importantly charcoal and volcanic ash. The volcanic ash works to extract and absorb pollutants, while activated charcoal pulls the deepest impurities to the surface. Unlike other mud or clay masks, this one goes on smoothly and swiftly. As with any mask, my hotsytotsy recommendation is to do it twice a week right after a hot shower. It is around $10, which is super cheap for an organic,vegan, amazeball mask. An awesome bonus is 5% of all proceeds from any Giovanni D:tox system product goes to the National Breast Cancer foundation. So now that you did something good, go do something bad, very ,very, bad 😉
From drab to fab! Yes I’m talking about hair again! There are thousands of shine products on the market today. One of my favorites is Citre Shine Anti- Frizz Laminator. This product is inexpensive, but works like the high price competition, if not better. It’s extremely light weight, adds tons of shine, and softens your overall look. It comes in a pump, but when my hair is a little extra out of whack, i spray it into my hands and run it top to bottom. It smells yummy and is full of protectors from heat and the environment. Lastly it is alcohol free, unlike you and I…….
There’s nothing beautiful about a stuffed red nose. That’s why when I have a cold and look and feel like hell , I turn to my Olbas Inhaler. I like Olbas because not only does it work like magic, it’s 100%natural. The aromatherapy concoction is made of Menthol, peppermint, cajeput, and Eucalyptol. You can find it in your local health food store. Try it out and in a few minutes you’ll be breathing easy, it’s probably the second best thing you could be inhaling ;)……….
