I am slightly obsessive about keeping my skin hydrated, especially when it’s hot and dry outside. I’m constantly trying different types of lotions hoping to find new ones to introduce into my beauty arsenal this summer. Lucky for me, I was asked to try Moody …
I put my hair through quite a bit—between coloring, blow drying and using a flat iron almost daily, my hair can dry out and lose some of its shine. I was looking forward to trying a product from Topganic called Leave On Silk Serum with …
We are halfway through spring and summer is just around the corner. Now is the time to get into a new summertime beauty routine so that you can look your best this season.
Over the years I’ve reviewed hundreds of bath, body, skin care and hair care products and today, I am sharing with all of you 5 of my must-have beauty products for summer. Furthermore, all 5 of these items are affordable and won’t break the bank!
1. The La Bella Revitalizing Foot Gel with Aloe Vera, Tea Tree Oil and Eucalyptus will help to refresh, deodorize and soothe sore & tired feet. To use: After showering or exercise, massage onto feet and ankles. I love how my feet feel and smell after applying this foot gel!
2. The Palmer’s Rapid Moisture Spray Lotion is for deep moisture and contains cocoa butter and vitamin E. It is fast absorbing, non-greasy and non-staining. One of the things I love about this product is that it is a non-messy spray lotion and it goes onto your skin lightly, absorbs almost instantly and makes your skin feel super soft after just a few applications. In addition, I can use it right after shaving with no after-shaving burn!
3. The Palmer’s Dry Shampoo in a clean scent will help to refresh your hair between shampoos and it will absorb excess oil and leaves no white residue behind. It contains olive oil, vitamin E and tapioca starch. It has no sulfates and no parabens. I love using this product during the days where I am on the road traveling and don’t always have access to a shower or on busy days at-home when my hair just needs refreshed & a touch-up.
4. The Palmer’s Firming Butter contains cocoa butter, shea butter, collagen, elastin and vitamin E. This product helps to firm, tone and tighten your skin. As a bonus, it has great moisturizing power too! I’ve been using this product for almost a year and it’s a staple in my personal beauty bag.
5. The La Bella Pain Relieving Cream with Chile Extract will help relieve minor aches and pains. I consider this a beauty item because if I am in pain and hurting…well, I don’t feel beautiful on those days! What I love about this cream is that it works quickly and lasts for several hours before I need to reapply. In addition, I don’t stink like a medicine cabinet when I am using it!
You can learn more about Palmer’s and the La Bella products featured in this post by visiting the company’s websites. What are some of your summer must-have beauty and skin care products?

Underarm odor and sweating is a problem for many of us. For me personally, I am a “hot” person and sweat a lot…all year long! Part of my issue is that I am post-menopausal and the other part is from medications that I take to …
Hand washing…its something we all must do and do it numerous times every day. We need to be washing our hands after we use the restroom, after changing a child’s diaper, as soon as we come into our homes from the outside and before food …
Spring has finally sprung and I have been enjoying every minute of the season so far. One of the things I enjoy about this time of the year is all of the pleasant fragrances that come along with the season. Scents like jasmine, rose, lavender, honeysuckle, citrus fruits, melons and all of those other wonderful scents that are associated with the spring & summer seasons.
Softsoap has come out with a limited edition line of body washes to help you to escape to springtime in Paris. These fresh scents are incredible and moisture-rich formulas will transport your senses to France.
Softsoap® brand Parisian Escape
Moisturize your skin while you retreat to the French countryside with the fresh scent of citrus and pear blossom leaving your skin feeling soft and smooth.
Softsoap® brand Riviera Renewal
Let your senses dance in the French Riviera with the fresh scent of delicate jasmine and blossom, while the moisturizing formula hydrates your skins leaving it silky smooth.
Softsoap® brand French Macaron
Wrap yourself in the sweet scent of French vanilla and coconut while the moisture-rich formula leaves your skins feeling hydrated and smooth.
I’ve been using the Softsoap brand hand soaps and body washes for several years now and I just love them! They keep getting better & better and I love that they keep coming out with new fragrances so that I never get bored!
Recently I received one bottle of each of the 3 new limited edition scents to review for all of you. Each of these fragrances are distinct from one another.
The Parisian Escape has a wonderful citrus & pear blossom sent to it…nothing over-whelming at all and I loved using this one in my morning shower to energize me for my day.
The Riviera Renewal has a light floral scent consisting of jasmine and other blossoms. I am not much of a floral person when it comes to bath & body products so I gave this one to my 29 year old daughter who loved it. She has been using it for 2 weeks now and has it almost gone.
The French Macaron is my absolute favorite out of the three. This one has a light French vanilla scent mixed with coconut. Very tropical smelling and I love relaxing with this one in the evening when I take my bath. Ahhh, tropical heaven in a bottle!
No matter which fragrance you choose…your skin will feel silky smooth, clean and well-moisturized after using them. The Softsoap line of body washes are just fantastic and you can currently find them at Walmart through May 2015.

I am in my 40’s and I am a prolific hand washer. Seriously, not a day goes by that I don’t wash my hands at least a dozen times. My obsessive hand washing habit begun back in the 80’s when I started working in the …
