I was just talking about huaraches and here there are again. Only sexier.

Tory Burch gave these classic huarache sandals a sexy update and I’m loving it. With a 4.5″ heel and adjustable buckle closure, this pair of huaraches are sure to create summer memories I’ll never forget.

Tory Burch “Kelton” Huarache Sandals are available at Bloomingdale’s for $325.

This year is just flying by. I can’t believe Mother’s Day is right around the corner!

On the Nordstrom website this morning, I spotted these super fun Clinique glosses that would make a perfect Mother’s Day gift. With four of their most-loved glosses contained in a bamboo print mini-bag, there’s no way you can go wrong.

Clinique ‘High Shine to Go’ Mother’s Day Gift Set is available at Nordstrom for $25.

Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Soap

mario-badescu-aha-body-soap

This week we’re spending time in Monterey, California while the kids are on spring break.

Monterey is only five hours by car from our home in Northern Nevada, which means one thing to me: PACK ALL THE LIQUIDS I WANT! I get a ridiculous amount of pleasure packing huge bottles of shampoo, conditioner, face wash, body wash and cosmetics. It’s more fun than a day at Six Flags.

It’s kind of like my own internal revenge against the TSA’s liquid restrictions and all those times I’ve had to fly to New York for three days with only a ziplock  full of beauty products. (Which means I was forced to use the hotel soap because when it comes to choosing shampoo or body wash over lack of space in the ziplock, shampoo wins every time.)

Not this week, my friends. This week my skin’s aglow from my favorite Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Soap (a full EIGHT OUNCE bottle!). Packed with fresh fruit extracts to exfoliate skin (don’t use this on your face), this cleanser works overtime to keep the tiny bumps on the back of my arms at bay.

It has a gentle scent and rinses away clean, leaving my skin super soft and smooth.

Mario Badescu AHA Botanical Body Soap is available online at MarioBadescu.com for $8.

I also love the Mario Badescu Enzyme Cleansing Gel. You can read about that here.
