I love this new face scrub my boss gave me. It's a honey lemon sugar scrub and it smells good enough to eat. I've never heard of the brand before. It's called Duchess Beauty. It comes in a really nice glass jar, like a sugar or flour jar, so you can re-use it when you are done. (I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging!)

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  As we look forward to New Year, we are all planning wonderful evenings with beautiful gowns and nice make-up, but what do we wear as a scent?  Such a question is easy to answer, go with what you know. Personally, I would stay away from "celebrity" scents as they often smell cheap are an imitation of something that is already out there. If you can afford to splurge look to Chopard or Lavin or Dior. I love scents that are exotic and fruity; heady and oriental. To me, this is the smell of glamour and magic.

The most fun I can have is sampling different scents. Have fun and try something new in the New Year. 

Wintertime in colder climates can be a real challenge to dry skin. The crispness of the air can make skin cracked, chaffed and super dry. There are several things people can do to keep their skin soft and supple throughout and winter months.

The first thing is to cut back on the those piping-hot showers. Those hot showers feel great when it is icy outside but it does a number on your skin. Try to take moderately warm showers and use a moisturizing bodywash.

After you finish your shower, gently pat yourself semi-dry and then apply your favorite body oil. This will keep you moisturized throughout the day.  My favorites are coconut oil, cocoa butter oil, sweet almond oil and olive oil.
