Spoiled Pretty On A Deserted Island


If you ever anticipate being shipwrecked on a deserted island, make sure to pack Maiden Beauty’s Perfect Pout Lip Scrub. This brown sugar exfoliant buffs and refines your lips…and it’s 100% edible!

The scrub comes with your choice of Tasty Tint Lip Balm, a glossy moisturizer featuring a hint of color and a kiss of brown sugar flavor. Balm choices include Pretty (light pink), Smart (sheer caramel) and Lady (cherry red).

I Made Up My Mind, I'm Keeping My Baby

Although it pains me to betray my old friends at Fresh, I just can’t resist telling my new friends (all of you) about my latest discovery. I absolutely adore Fresh's Brown Sugar Body Polish, but I cannot justify spending $62 on a 14-ounce container of sugar crystals and apricot kernels. Even the “to go” size is $15 for a little more than an ounce…highway robbery if you ask me.

C.O. Bigelow products are another shining example that luxurious products needn’t cost you your first-born. Bigelow Lemon Body Scrub exfoliates and moisturizes skin with a blend of pure white and brown sugars, skin-brightening lemon extracts and finely crushed, natural lotus flower and fruit seeds - leaving skin looking radiant, smooth, and renewed.

And in exchange for $20, you get 10 whole ounces (plus, you get to keep your baby).

Sweet 16

Have you heard about Fresh? If you haven't...girl, let me tell you. Fresh is a brand of makeup, skin, hair, bath, body, fragrance, and home products based on the philosophy that “you shouldn’t have to choose between products that look good and products that work well.” Good thinking, right?

I love Fresh. Fresh is, no-pun intended, a breath of fresh air. In an industry of cookie cutter products and packaging, this line has developed a reputation for perfectly marrying function with fun.

Many of the beauty products I buy end up in the back of my bathroom cabinet, gathering dust. They never seem to deliver the results or fulfill the promises written on the packaging. And month after month, year after year, these discarded products are a sad reminder of how much money I’ve spent and how many times I’ve been let down. But with Fresh, that familiar scenario never plays out. I always make certain to squeeze out use every last drop of my Cleansing Balm with Lemon Oil. I always remember to pick up a new tube of the Umbrian Clay Face Treatment before the old one runs out. And long after I’ve used up my Sugar Face Polish, the jar is sitting in my bathroom because the packaging is so dang purty I can’t bear to throw it away.

This Fall, Fresh celebrates its Sweet 16 with events at all of its thirteen stores. Every Thursday, between now and October, Fresh stores will be honoring different milestone products of the past 16 years with champagne toasts, raffles, and more. The deluxe raffle is a goodie bag worth over $750!

I live in Philadelphia and thus, cannot attend any soirees. But if you live in a city that, luckily, has a Fresh store, I implore you to attend in my honor. If you heed any of the advice I impart on this blog, let it be this…clean out your cabinets and start Fresh. You’re welcome (you’ll thank me later).
