Jennifer Aniston by Jennifer Aniston Perfume Review: Sexy and Fun, Just Like the Actress

October 26, 2011 By Joi

Have you had a chance to try Jennifer Aniston’s new perfume, Jennifer Aniston by Jennifer Aniston, 2.9 oz Eau De Parfum Spray for women?

As a fan of the beautiful actress, I couldn’t wait to sample her perfume and hoped that it’d be worthy of carrying her name. I was relieved to find out that it definitely is! It’s pretty much what you’d expect Jennifer Aniston’s perfume to be – clean, fresh, with a definitively feisty sexiness about it.

This beautiful perfume would make a perfect Christmas gift for any lady on your list – just be sure to buy a bottle for yourself. It’s very, very special.

Lancome Blush: Glides on Perfectly and Lasts All Day

October 26, 2011 By Joi

A lot of people list mascara and lipstick as the two makeup items they’d never (as in never, ever, ever) leave home without. With all due respect to lipstick, my two must have… must wear… must always wear makeup items are mascara and blush. I think everyone looks healthier, prettier, and of course, more glam with a little blush. It has to be quality blush, however, and in a complimentary shade.

One of our fashion blog’s favorite blushes is Lancôme Blush Subtil Delicate Oil-Free Powder Blush. It glides on perfectly, every single time, and outlasts a lot of the other blushes on the market. Makeup is one of those things in life where you can literally SEE and FEEL quality. Lancome makeup is high quality and you can honestly feel the difference, as well as see the difference.

Oil-free and even oil-absorbing, this blush is perfect for all skin types. Click through for a closer look.

Avon Foot Works Review

October 25, 2011 By Joi

I order a lot of Avon products. A lot. I love their fragrances, makeup, skin care products, bath and lotion products, and I’m absolutely addicted to their line of Foot Works products. I’ve tried just about every one they’ve rolled out and my feet have been deliriously happy. I’ve become as excited about pampering and caring for my feet as I do the rest of me.

There are a variety of scents available in Avon’s Foot Works line and they often change throughout the year. For example, you may find Cherry scent (a serious favorite) during the warm months and Berry Mint (another fave) during the winter months.There’s a great new scent now called Mocha Supreme and I can’t wait to try it. Can you imagine how outrageously wonderful that must smell?!?! A little tip: The Berry Mint scent lasts and lasts and lasts and lasts and…

Feet are an area that most people tend to overlook and neglect. Until, that is, they’re embarrassed when someone special begins to rub on them and they realize their heels are as hard as concrete. Not very glam. Avon’s Foot Work products not only keep your feet feeling fresh and glorious, they make them feel like a baby’s bottom. What’s more, they cause your feet to smell fresh for longer stretches at a time.

I can’t possibly rave enough about these products. I strongly urge you to take your neglected tootsies over to Avon’s Foot Works page right now and start a lifelong obsession with pampering your feet. You’ll find out what Happy Feet’s really all about!

July 29, 2011 By Stephany

Suffice to say that, after doing these yoga moves, your abs know they’ve been worked out! You, literally, can feel them beginning to tighten up after just a couple of sessions.

Yoga is a beautiful way to firm up and even lose weight. You don’t have to take classes to learn yoga, either. You can grab a book, magazines, dvds, or even watch online videos such as the one above.

Yoga has other beauty benefits that extend beyond the body. Regularly practicing yoga is wonderful for the complexion, skin elasticity, and even hair. Doing a full range of yoga exercises brings about a beautiful, natural glow. Everyone will wonder what your secret is!

Needless to say, it’s also incredible for toning your body, smoothing out cellulite, and EVEN dropping extra pounds. The more you do yoga, the more you’ll fall in love with it.
