In our master bathroom, my husband and I have three drawers: mine, his and OURS.

The “ours” drawer is between our sinks and holds items that we are both willing to share. (Is it bad that I like to keep my Lancôme eye cream all for myself?)

Kept in this drawer are things like Q-tips, toothpaste and, surprisingly, deodorant!

Ever since I started using Degree Natureffects Orange Flower & Cranberry anti-perspirant & deodorant, my husband has insisted I keep it in the “ours” drawer so he can use it as well. (Never mind the label is all flowery and pretty and says Degree WOMEN— he clearly doesn’t care.)

Apparently my husband is equally drawn to the fresh scent and wetness protection qualities of Degree Natureffects as I am.

In addition to the deodorant, Degree Natureffects also has matching body mists (found in the deodorant isle) for an added layer of freshness.

Degree Natureffects come in three pretty scents inspired by natural ingredients: Honeysuckle & Tea Tree Oil, Olive Leaf & Pink Pepper and Orange Flower & Cranberry.

Degree Women Natureffects is available nationally at mass market retail stores with a suggested retail price of $3.99 (3 fl oz) for body mist, $3.99 (2.6 oz) for anti-perspirant/deodorant and $3.99 (2.2 oz) for deodorant. More information is available at DegreeWomen.com.

If you saw last night’s SAG Awards on TV, you must have seen Mad Men actress Christina Hendricks in her show-stopping red carpet gown.

Her red-carpet look was selected by voters at degreereddress.com and will be auctioned off at clothesoffourback.com, an organization that auctions off celebrity attire to raise money and awareness for children’s charities across the globe.

I had my own little SAG Awards soirée with some of my friends and readers in Kauai, Hawaii. The event was held at our Kauai restaurant, Kalapaki Joe’s where we enjoyed yummy appetizers, good wine, and great company.

Thanks to our sponsor, Degree Women, every guest had an opportunity to win great prizes (including a $100 gift certificate to Macy’s and some fun fashion books and movies) and went home with their very own sample of Degree Ultra Clear Red Satin Deodorant.

Degree Women Ultra Clear offers SIX essential benefits:

• 24 hour body responsive wetness protection
• 24 hour body responsive odor protection
• clear application
• skin caring conditioners
• smooth & silky application
• clean, fresh fragrances

It’s not too late to log on to clothesoffourback.com and bid on Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks’ red carpet gown.

A very special thank you to Degree Women for sponsoring this very fun event!

Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection partnered with the Tibi Swimwear 2010 runway show in Miami this month and I was lucky enough to get a first-hand look!

Tibi designer Amy Smilovic designed three suits inspired by the Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection: Classic Romance, Sexy Intrigue and Delicious Bliss.

My favorite of the three is Classic Romance (which also comes in a clinical strength deodorant!) but the other two scents are equally good.

I’m not supposed to tell you this (when has that ever stopped me?! Ha) but the Tall Dark Handsome one has been USING MY DELICIOUS BLISS DEODORANT! He likes the way it smells so much, he asked me to pick one up JUST FOR HIM. (But you didn’t hear that from me. Got it?)

The Tibi show was fabulous (I even caught a glimpse of Olivia Palermo who smiled and waved at me when she noticed me snapping her photo!)

The collection of brightly colored suits, inspired by the designer’s recent trip to Indonesia, has clean and simple silhouettes suitable for all shapes and sizes. My favorite suit in the collection is the Sexy Intrigue-inspired one-piece (shown above) with a double asymmetrical strap.

The other Degree Women Fine Fragrance Collection Suits are just as pretty:

This two-piece was inspired by Classic Romance.

This adorable one-piece was inspired by Delicious Bliss.

Thanks to my friends at Degree YOU have a chance to win your very own Tibi Swimsuit!

8/4/09 UPDATE: Comments are closed for this contest. Congrats to our winner!

Although it’s been a relatively mild summer thus far in Kauai, it’s still hot and humid enough to leave me feeling sticky and less than glamorous come 3:00 p.m.

The easiest way to boost my spirits, I’ve found, is a spritz of one of my favorite summer scents. Light and easy, these four fragrances have been in constant rotation this summer (until Bree stole my bottle of Sheer Calyx, that is).  A quick spray of fragrance instantly lifts my mood and makes a hot summer afternoon bearable. (Also? I smell better.)

Here are the scents that have kept me feeling fresh and pretty all summer long:

Kenzo L’eauparKenzo eau Indigo This has been my favorite evening fragrance all summer. I have yet to even want to wear anything else. Notes of ylang ylang and sambac jasmine make this Kenzo scent slightly powdery and very special. Each morning I sniff my wrists for the lingering notes of the previous night and smile to myself.

Degree Classic Romance I’m obsessed with clinical strength deodorant but hate how the “sporty” scent clashes with my fragrance. Now Degree has a clinical strength deodorant in the “Classic Romance” scent to match my favorite Degree Classic Romance body mist from their Fine Fragrance Collection. I can layer this citrus-y floral scent and smell delicious even as I melt under the hot sun.

Prescriptives Sheer Calyx Like Oprah, I’m drawn to grapefruit top notes and this light, refreshing version of the original Calyx is just my speed. Exotic fruits, lush flowers and smooth woods make this an easy scent to love. (Just ask Bree!)

Thierry Mugler Angel Sunessence If you like the original Angel, you’re going to love this summer version of the gourmand fragrance. With all the same delicious notes that made me fall in love with the original Angel (honey, vanilla, caramel—sounds like an ice cream sundae!), Sunessence is softer and lighter than her older sister.

What fragrances are you wearing and loving this summer?
