Molton Brown SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir

Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus

The dark, somewhat dreary fall days often leave me exhausted yet ironically keyed up.

Sometimes, I need to seek solace in beauty products to calm my nerves and slow myself down after a hectic day. This Molton Brown Sleep Cedrus Bathing Elixir sounds as though it would be a divine way to help myself drift off into dreamland.

Its moisture-rich formula contains Cedrus tree oil from the Atlas Mountains to aid in relaxation, sweet Florida orange oil and Bulgarian lavender oil. (I’m hoping I’ll love the scent as much as I love their Intoxicating Davana Blossom Foaming Bath Oil.)

SLEEP Cedrus Bathing Elixir is part of the new Molton Brown’s new sleep body therapies range and is available online from MoltonBrown.com for $34.

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.

Bitter cold

We are freezing our tushies off here in Nevada, as we’ve had a bitter cold front lingering for the last several days. Even Las Vegas is not exempt. We flew down to Sin City on Friday for a quick meeting and nearly fell over from freezing gusts of wind and reports of possible snow. SNOW! In Las Vegas!

Weather like this wreaks havoc on our skin, leaving us dry and itchy and pretty much miserable. We’ve been going through body oil at rapid speeds, slathering ourself at every opportunity in the hopes of holding hostage at least a tiny bit of moisture for our parched skin.

Camellia Body OilOur latest find, Camellia Body Oil from Maryam’s Soap Nook is a blend of oil from Japanese grapefruit, used by the Japanese for centuries to moisturize dry & damaged skin, hair and nails.

Camellia Body Oil also includes Sweet Almond Oil and Vitamin E to soothe and protect, and has a wonderful citrus scent to liven us up on cold mornings when we’d rather snuggle under our electric blanket than get up and get ready for work.

Hopefully Mother Nature will soon relent and send warmer weather our way. In the meantime, we have our Camellia Body Oil.
