Yardley London is more than just soap. The formula keeps skin soft. This particular bar features the antioxidant properties of Pomegranate mixed with oatmeal to exfoliate the skin while you cleanse. It’s the ultimate multi-tasker, and a bargain as well!

If ever you spot me looking bronze, I assure you it is ALL smoke and mirrors. My latest weapon in achieving a healthy bronze glow is Jemma Kidd Year-Round Body Glow, from the Show Stopper collection.

It’s easily applied. Just buff a thick dollop into the skin, and the coverage is even. I’ll be toting this along with me to the pool, to fully test it’s water-resistant claims! But in the meanwhile, I’ll attest that this product is a great way to glam up those gams when you bare them in the warm weather!

I am–seriously–a jaded consumer. Despite that my bathroom is cluttered with product, I went positively nuts for the Burt’s Bees Pomegranate Spa Set. With a retail price of $19.99, this set includes two zesty cranberry/pomegranate scented products. The Sugar Scrub is now one of my all-time favorite body scrubs. Cranberry seeds are used to exfoliate, and pomegranate oil is used to moisturize. The Naturally Ageless Skin Smoothing Hand Cream has been my partner in crime. It repaired my cold-weather tattered hands in only one night, when paired with moisturizing gloves.

How do I know it’s winter? When my already-dry hands start to crack and bleed. This happens to me at least once per winter season, and yet I always seem to forget that my hands need extra attention. The Burt’s Bees Natural Manicure Set includes super-portable pampering products for the hands. The lemon butter cuticle cream can literally be fit in the pocket of your jeans, and the almond milk beeswax hand creme is an extremely rich hand cream. Use it sparingly during the day for a quick moisutre-fix, or as an overnight treatment, worn with a pair of moisturizing gloves. Retail price is $14.99.

Are these Burt’s Bees gift sets still too pricey? Don’t fret. Click HERE to head over to BurtsBees.com. They have a lengthy gift guide for those with budgets of $10 and under!

Olivina Nappa Valley: Honeysuckle Rose Collection Reviews

During my childhood, my best friend and I spent countless hours playing in her backyard. One side of her house was simply covered in twining Honeysuckle. The scent of those blooms and taste of their nectar is rooted firmly in my memory.

When I recently sampled Olivina’s bath & beauty collection in Honeysuckle Rose, the scent took me right back to those glorious sun-filled play-dates, and immediately put me in a “feel-good” state of mind.

Fomulated with Olive Oil, Olive Butter, Shea Butter and honey; Olivina Bath Soap is incredibly moisturizing. The 8 oz. generously-sized chunky soap also comes packaged in the most beautiful gift-worthy box. No wrapping necessary!

Olivina Hand Creme is ultra-rich and quick to absorb. I saw immediate improvement in the condition of my dry hands, and the bonus is a lingering Honeysuckle scent! Off-label use: If you have extra-dry skin–like me–don’t stop at your hands! Olivina Hand Creme is a strong ally in the war against dry elbows and abused knees as well.

There are countless reasons to love this brand. Not only are Olivina bath and body products to-die-for rich and pampering, they are also free of parabens, sulfates and preservatives. Another reason I love Olivina? The patriot in me is pleased to announce that Olivina is not only made in the USA, but is exported to consumers abroad! Positive GDP! Woo-hoo!

Olivina Bath Soap and Hand Creme in Honeysuckle Rose retail for $18 each.
