Jumpin' Jelly Bean has me Jumping for joy!!!

With Easter right around the corner and the Easter bunny bringing lots of candy, the Jumpin' n Jelly Bean Scentsy bar is the perfect scent! This is one of my top favorite wax scent bars to have burning around the house.  It smells like jellybeans and brightens your mood:) If you have never checked out Scentsy be sure to check out Scentsy.com!  They have sooooooo many scents to choose from! I have so many scents I love it would take a while to list all of them, but a few others I'm loving right now with spring around the corner are: Pixie,Sugar, Honeymoon hideaway, Rio Beach,and Strawberry. Like I have said before scent plays a huge part in my  life. Its  like a form of therapy to me.  Scents can make you feel warm and cozy, happy, energized,  sleepy, calm, motivated,etc...Look a Christmas time how Cinnamon,vanilla, cookie scent, peppermint, orange and clove it makes you automatically excited, happy and in the "holiday mood". The same goes for Thanksgiving we smell pumpkin, apple pie,cinnamon and it does the same thing. The familiar scents of times that make us so happy.   So I like to create happy feelings with scent everyday  in my house:) If you try out Jumpin' Jelly Bean let me know what you think.  Also if there is a great smelling candle or scent thing you want to share I wouldlove to hear about it!  Thanks for stopping by my blog. :)

Lips soft as a baby's.......

Hello everyone!! Sorry I have been MIA the past couple days.  I wanted to write a short blog tonight about one of my favorite lip balms.  I have an addiction to lip balms and glosses!  I have almost every flavor of the Maybelline Baby lips.  They are flavored sheer color or clear lip balms.  I have the cherry, grape, quench(which is clear) bright pink( I am not sure on the flavor, it's something fruity) Plummy, and Peach.

Here is a pic of 4 of the Baby Lip colors to show how sheer and glossy the color is. (Left to right)
Cherry- Sheer red, smells like cherry koolaid...My favorite scent of all of them!!
Grape- Sheer Purple, smells like Grape Koolaid
Hot Pink- Sheer bright pink, smells like guava or something tropical
Peach- Sheer Peach/pale nude, smells like peaches and cream

*If you love soft lips, like sheer color with a gloss sheen, and love yummy flavored lip balms, definitely try Maybelline Baby Lips!!  I really feel like you can't go wrong with these.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! XOXO

Lush..a little Rock Star and Ro's

Hello,  I wanted to write about two of my favorite Lush products.  Let me just say that Lush is one of my favorite lines and I have so many favorites that it would take a long time to name them all, so I figured I would just write about two of them tonight.  I will share more Lush products in another blog.

First is Rockstar soap, it makes me think pink, girly, and candy.  I wish they would make a lotion in this scent because I can't get enough of it!  The soap lasts a long time and i have to say normally I NEVER like bar soaps, but Lush I'm guilty of loving.  If you like candy, girly scents you will probably love this soap.

The second product is Ro's Argan body conditioner.  I can honestly say this is my very FAVORITE Lush product.  I normally never like any kind of floral scent, but this product is a sweet rose jam scent.  Its like candied roses with fruit jam.  Maybe that's a bad explanation but that's what it is like for me.  My skin is left so soft and sweet smelling after I use this.  Truly an amazing product that I don't think you can go wrong with.

Sorry tonights blog is so short as I have to be up very early tomorrow for work but I wanted to make sure to at least share two products I adore.  Thanks for reading!!

mmmm... why do you smell like the beach??

Hello there, as I was sitting here in snowy cold MN, I thought to myself I need to smell like the beach today.  I know I wrote this in a past blog, but just in case you are new to my blog I'm obsessed with yummy smelling everything! Lotions, perfumes, candles, essential oils, etc. if it smells yummy I'm obsessed.  So I thought I would step away from the make up side today and write about how to smell like the beach.  I now scented stuff can smell different on everyone because of our body chemistry, but I will share what smells like the beach on me and you can try it if you like.:)

 (above picture shown is Victoria Secret Pink Beach line.  I love these! Total beach smell! One is very coconut mixed with beach, one is more a Hawaiian flower with beach, and one is a dewberry mixed with ocean breeze scent.  I believe they are discontinued but you may be able to find online, just be cautious with buying a scented product that is discontinued as they do expire.)



Lotions:Treehut Hawaiian Kukoi lotion and body scrub-mmmmmm so good used it today!!!! Body Shop coconut( I also love the coconut milk body lotion spray), Bath and Body works coconut pineapple-MY FAV! sad to say I think its discontinued unless they bring it back for summer, Bobbi Brown beach lotion- this is a little spendy for a lotion, but it literally smells like the beach, there is also a beach perfume.  I don't use this one anymore as I have found mixing my own coconut, pineapple, or ocean clean smelling lotion with a perfume makes a more unique "beachy" smell. For lotion I would say play around find a scent that fits you that you think smells like the beach.  Most coconut or pineapple ones are good to find as they will mix with your perfume and give you that yummy beach and suntan lotion smell.  Bath and Body works Malibu Heat- love this it smells like coconut, fruity, with a soft beachy background.

Shower Gels:  The one above is one of my favs right now.  Its Softsoap Citrus Splash and Berry Fusion- it smells like fruit and water, not super beachy but its very clean fruity with a touch of water scent, Philosophy Coconut Frosting- Philosophy actually makes a few beach smelling shower gels and lotions if you look online, Honestly I switch my shower gels all the time so to list all of them that I love that smell "beachy" would take a while.  I would suggest just looking for coconut, pineapple, Hawaiian floral, sea salt, or watery smells.

Perfumes: Escada Into the blue- let me start off by saying this is discontinued and it was my all time favorite perfume! It was my signature scent....ugh so bummed:( but this perfume was a fruity mix with the ultimate aquatic beach smell, Versace Bright Crystal- a very clean scent but mixed with a warmer scented lotion like coconut or pineapple gives a beach smell, Davidoff Cool Water- I no longer wear this as everyone and their mom seems to have it but a great water scent, Armani Aqua Di Gio- another scent from my past smells very aquatic with a little flowers, they have a new one called Armani Aqua Di Gioia, I love this but it mixes more like a alcohol smell on my skin so I didn't end up buying it, but give it a try because I love the way it smelled in the bottle, Eternity Aqua- new scent buy Eternity that smells very aquatic.

**There's so many combos I could go on for hours so I just wanted to mention a few, its all about finding what mixes well with your chemistry and trying different combos to get the exact scent you want.  I love the smell of the yummy banana boat and Hawaiian tropic sunscreens but I can only wear those in the summer when I'm outside so I just look for different ways to recreate that scent.   If you have any questions or want to know more scents on this or want help recreating a "scent" you love please let me know.  Also if you know any "beachy" smelling products leave a comment I would love to hear about them.  The same goes with hair products and candles pick out the Coconut, pineapple, watery smelling scents on these products to get the full effect.  I'm one that when I want to smell like beach I use everything from my soap to my lotion to my perfume to my shampoos and conditioners to layer it and have the scent last longer, same goes when I want to smell like candy( which is a whole other blog I will do sometime).  Thank you again for reading and if you want to subscribe to my blog there is ways on my page to subscribe by email, follow me on pinterest, my google+, or by blogger.  Have a great day!!!

Clean Slate

I have used many great cleansers and moisturizers.  I tend to go back to Philosophy Purity cleanser and Hope in a jar moisturizer(see picture posted).  It just makes my skin feel super clean and refreshed, and I love the clean smell of both the cleanser and moisturizer. 

I also Love Revision skincare line that we sell at the clinic I work at.  I switch off between this and the purity.  I use the Revision Brightening was.

Also one thing I was blessed to get from my work which changed my skin and I can never live without is my clarisonic Pro(see above pic) This is the exact one I have and I love that it's pink:).

As far as make up remover wipes my favorite that I use to wipe off my eye makeup with first is Ponds soothing white tea and chammomile.

If the price of some of these products is too steep you might like St. Ives apricot scrub I still to this day after using all the products I have love this one! Its smells nice and gives you face a nice glow.  It really removes the dead skin, and for cleansers Neutrogena, Aveeno, and cetaphil are great drug store brands that a lot of dermatologists recommend and give away samples at their office.


***For my last skin care tip some may think I'm crazy for but if I have a pimple starting I put Honey on it and got to bed.  Honestly when I first heard of putting honey on pimples I thought yuck! But don't knock it till you try it! It doesnt work for every ones skin type but it really works for me!  Also I have mixed organic sugar mixed with honey as a facial scrub before and this is a very good DIY facial scrub and very nice to the wallet too:)  Ok go ahead and ask any questions or leave a comment about your skincare regimen. Thanks for reading!!!

St. Pattys Day ideas

Since there is a lot of St. Patricks day parties going on tomorrow I thought I would write a couple fun tips before I go to bed.

Wearing bright green eyeshadow can be too harsh for most skin tones and can end up looking "clownish".  Instead maybe going for a smoky eye with greens would work a bit better.  I apologize for not having any videos showing a easy way to acheive a smoky eye, I promise I will try to get some "how to" videos up soon.  If you wear a sultry smoky eye with the greens to make the eyes pop more try to wear a pale pink, peach, or nude color so the lips wont take away from they eyes.  If smoky eye is not your thing then going with a pale green and just playing up the eye liner is a nice sleek look.  

For nails the things you can do are endless, but my FAV right now is painting all my nails a color and then painting my ring finger a different color.   This  style has  been in for a while now nut to mee its funky but not over the top.  I think I may do all black nails and leave my ring finger is a shamrock green for St. Patricks Day.  Another fun combo would be paint all the nails shamrock green and then paint the ring finger a sparkly silver.  Well its very late and I should finally get to bed but I wanted to at least post a little something before all the parties tomorrow.  Sorry this post was not detailed in how to do a smoky eye but I will get to that soon.  Thanks for reading!
