Surprise!!


Ohmigosh!! So I open my front door, and to my complete surprise, a lovely back and white Sephora box is just sitting there outside, like a mirage in the desert. But, I say to myself, I haven't placed a Sephora order, what could this be? I look at the label, and lo and behold, it is addressed to my husband! Now, before you jump to any crazy conclusions - ha ha - my birthday is coming up, and my wonderful hubby got me something from Sephora!! Does he know me well, or what? Well, I guess that will be determined when I get to open the box, which, unfortunately will not be until May 20th...blurg! (as Liz Lemon on 30 Rock would exclaim) - torture to have to wait sooooooo long to find out what is in the Sephora box!!! I hope it is the new Sephora book. I want to order it right now, but now that I have this mystery Sephora box, I don't want to jinx my self and end up with two copies. He did say he got free shipping, so that means he at least spent $50 (Sephora has been running a free shipping offer with $50 purchase, but they always ship free with a $75 purchase) so there has to be something else in there (and maybe a few free samples thrown in? Not sure if they come with the $50 free shipping or just the $75). I'm sure y'all are very curious as to what's in the box, and I will be sure to let you know... in 22 loooong days!

Get Yourself Screened!!

Yeah, I don't have skin cancer! I had my annual full-body check today with the dermatologist, and I had a few spots I was concerned with, but the dr. gave me a clean bill of health. Whew. But I am one of the lucky ones. I read so many articles these days about skin cancer, and since I had so many sunburns as a young girl, I'm nervous about something developing. Read these facts from Olay , who has teamed up with the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery to sponsor free screenings across the country: Did you know... One person dies every hour from skin cancer. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer. Skin cancer in women under 40 has tripled in the past 30 years. Five sunburns double a woman's chance of getting skin cancer. UV exposure at tanning salons is just as risky as sunbathing outside. People with fair skin that burns rather than tans, people with red hair and people with blue eyes are at greater risk of developing skin cancer. People who have many (extens

A Little Extra Protection is A Good Thing

For my recent shore vacation (the "shore" is what we southeast Pennsylvanians and southern New Jerseyans call the "beach") I purchased St. Ives Elements Protective Cleanser with SPF 10. This is a facial cleanser that, when you wash the cleanser off your face, is supposed to leave behind a layer of SPF 10 protection. Pretty cool, huh? Now, some people say this will help them skip a pesky extra step in their morning skincare routine by eliminating the application of SPF. I understand how one could feel this way, but c'mon ladies. SPF 10? From a cleanser you just washed off your face? I mean, really, how much protection can that really give you? Now, I'm not denying that the product does what it says, but we should all know by now that you need a lot higher SPF protection on your delicate face than a 10.My dermatologist said nothing less than 30 would do, and she herself wore, like, 75 (and she was probably late 40's/early 50's and her skin was porcelai

Vaseline Cocoa Butter Vitalizing Gel Body Oil

So which is it - a gel or body oil? Well, it is both, and I like it! I found this today when I stopped at Wal-Mart to find some replacement cushions for my patio furniture, and immediately had to have it (sadly, I did not get any cushions). It says "new" on the bottle, but looks like maybe it came out some time last year, based on customer reviews at Amazon, however, it's new to me! I thought it had to be brand new because it just seems like summer-in-a-bottle. It has that rich, earthy smell of cocoa butter products, but I also think I caught a very slight whiff of a pretty floral note, like lilacs, which I love, and at the same time, it smells like yummy buttercream frosting! The key ingredients include Brazilian Nut Oil (supposed to be a great moisture barrier, keeping your skin hydrated, and possesses antioxidant properties) and Sweet Almond Oil (gives your skin a pretty glow and restores moisture). To be honest, I don't see cocoa butter listed in the ingredients
