Smelling good is high up on my list of Things that Matter , right up there with my cell phone, cute accessories and my baby sister. (Really, she’s not a baby—she’s 5—but she rocks my world.)

I like to smell fresh and clean without being too "perfume-y" if you know what I mean.

Recently I discovered Body by Maurices , a bath and body line exclusive to one of my favorite places to shop: Maurices . There’s three fruity flavors (Cool Citrus , Sweet Sage , and Berry Blush ) available in a body scrub, cleansing gel, body butter, lotion, and body spray.

I love the Cool Citrus scent of the body spray—so refreshing! I can smell super yummy without being overwhelming.

Stop by your local Maurices and check these out!

Until next week,

The new Beauty Rush Body by Victoria’s Secret is a fruity scented body care line inspired by the awesome Beauty Rush Lipgloss.

With six summer scents available in a body mist, moisture gel, lotion, and glimmer wash—you’ll be smelling delightfully fresh all season long.

The only issue will be deciding which of the yummy scents to get:

• Slice of Heaven
• Passion Fruit Pop
• Strawberry Fizz
• Appletini
• Grapefruit Blast
• Grapesicle

Or you could make it easy on yourself and get them all.

Beauty Rush Body is available at Victoria’s Secret stores and online at victoriassecret.com.

We’ve been reading about Product Body and their incredible line of bath & body products for nearly a year but only tried them for the first time last week. Finally.

We were most excited to try Crush On You, the Ultra Plush Sugar Shea Scrubby Wash that everyone’s talking about. While the scent we tried, Yuzu, was a little too citrus-y for us, the product itself is INCREDIBLE. Our skin is so smooth and soft, we feel like we’ve had a glycolic treatment over our entire body.

(And you probably don’t know who The Jets are because you were probably born in the 80′s and have skin so incredible you’ve never even heard of a glycolic treatment much less experienced one, but every time we use this product we get Crush on You by The Jets stuck in our head.) (Shut up. It was 1986 and we didn’t know any better.)

The bad thing about Crush On You is that our husband discovered it and can’t keep his hands off it. He’s enchanted with the Yuzu scent. Of course he’ll never admit this (in fact he might just show the kids our secret stash of Milk Duds if he finds out we’ve told you) but he’s referring to our Crush On You as if it were his. When we tried to hide it from him he was all Where did you put my scrubby stuff ?

We also tried the Product Body Cream, also in Yuzu, and OHMYGOD this stuff is like nothing we’ve tried before. In a futile attempt to describe this to our friend we were like It’s sooooo soft. And cushiony. And creamy. And soft. You HAVE to try it.

I’m sure she thinks we’re nuts.

But seriously. You HAVE to try it.

If we lived close enough to New York City and the office of Dr. Dennis Gross, we would stop by each and every morning and give the brilliant doctor a kiss on his cheek to show our appreciation for his amazing products.

Dr. Gross is the creator of MD Skincare, the company behind our beloved Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel, and is now launching a revolutionary body cream that not only hydrates and firms, but promotes long-term collagen production and removes unwanted minerals and impurities left on the skin by water. Hydra Pure Firming Body Cream increases the water content of skin by providing triple-phase moisturization with essential oils, humectants and chelators (these soften water to remove calcium).

We saw immediate results from this product, waking up to dewy skin after only one application. The cream is light and blends well, without any greasy residue. The only downside is the price at $120 for 6.7 ounces (which we’re guessing would last us about 4 weeks). But hey, you can’t expect the Fountain of Youth to be cheap.
