H2O+ Bali Breeze Collection

I woke up to 4 inches of snow this morning (I’m not complaining, it could be worse) but instead of throwing on gloves and heading outside to build a snowman, I took a mini vacation (in my bathroom) to the island of Bali with the H2O+ Bali Breeze Collection.

The H2O+ Bali Breeze Body Butter is luxuriously lush and soothing, island-rich moisturizing body butter, ripe with juicy mango, creamy coconut and deep-sea botanicals.

I also love the H2O+ Bali Breeze Luminous Moisture Gloss, a spray on body oil that hydrates skin with coconut and jojoba oils.

Check out the entire Bali Breeze collection at H2oPlus.com.

Kai Body Butter

Kai Body Butter

We first fell for Kai Fragrance in a Nordstrom Spa in San Francisco about 5 years ago.

At that time we hadn’t yet heard of the fragrance that would soon become a mainstream favorite but we quickly purchased a tiny vial of Kai perfume oil and used it every time we needed a little Hawaiian getaway.

Last year, the cult-favorite fragrance brand launched a new must-have product: Kai Body Butter.

Listed as one of Oprah’s Favorite things, Kai Body Butter flies off shelves faster than they can replace it. The whipped soufflé is a blend of shea butter with vitamins A, C and E and is infused with the original Kai perfume oil—an amazingly rich cream that leaves us gently smelling of Kai all day long.

Kai Body Butter can be purchased at many retail outlets or online at luckyscent.com.

Ted Gibson Beauty: Body Shampoo & Conditioner

Last month at the Bendel’s Beauty Breakfast at Henri Bendel in New York, we were treated to an amazing hand/arm massage with the new Ted Gibson Body Shampoo & Conditioner.

Ted Gibson Beauty: Body Shampoo & Conditioner

We have to admit, even though the treatment left our hands incredibly soft and hydrated, we haven’t been able to duplicate the effect on our entire body here at home. After using our samples on and off for the last month, we noticed today that our bottle of Affirmation (our favorite scent of the three offered) Body Conditioner is nearly full while the Affirmation Body Shampoo is almost gone. The reason? We’re too impatient to let the Body Conditioner sit on our skin in the shower for 2-3 minutes. (Hey, 2-3 minutes is a long time. Just now, while a cup of tea was in the microwave for two minutes, we changed a load of laundry, fed the dogs and clipped a stray hangnail on our thumb with cuticle nippers—three very important chores that took less time to complete than our Ted Gibson Body Conditioner takes to soak in.)

We haven’t had any issues using up the Body Shampoo, though—it lathers nicely and leaves our skin squeaky clean. In addition to Affirmation (geranium and dandelion) there’s also Transformation (grapefruit and honey) and Prosperity (rose and ginger) in this series. If you don’t mind an extra step in the shower, go for the Ted Gibson Body 6-Piece Travel Set and try all three scents.

Just don’t fall behind on your chores.
