Friday Favorites: Product Must Haves
Happy Friday! In an effort to get a head start on some spring cleaning; I did a little product inventory in my bathroom. If you are like me, you may have stashes of samples and products that you haven’t used or haven’t used in awhile. This got to me to thinking; if I could only have 5 products (besides the necessary tooth brush and dental floss) to use, What would they be?
La Vita e Bella’s Product Favorites:
This has been my skin care staple since 2005 and despite it’s higher price tag I will never give this up. Their products are fabulous and keep my skin very much in balanced. Also, it was developed at Duke University (home to my favorite basketball team!)
Dial AntiOxidant Bodywash in Cranberry and AntiOxidant Pearls
I love this and the price is right! Find it at your local drugstore!
Kiehls Hair Creme with Silk Groom
It doesn’t matter what your hair type or length is, this product is great for the girl or guy on the go. Put a little on damp hair and style where needed:) It’s no secret that a lot of top stylists keep this among their arsenal of hair products!
Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara Big Brush
This has been my go to mascara for years and now it comes with a bigger brush!
I have yet to find the *perfect* razor but this one is pretty good.
What are your bathroom product must-haves?
Friday Favorites
Happy Friday! If you are located in the Southeast, Southwest, Midwest, New England or Up North, you are probably freezing. For WNC, it looks like this cold weather is sticking around. In honor of these arctic temps, I thought I would bring you my three favorite things when it’s cold:
1: Hot Chocolate or Hot Tea. Basically the key word is hot. My favorite brand of hot chocolate is Ghirardelli. Add hot water or milk; pair with some marshmallows and you have absolutely no excuses not to curl up on the couch with a good book. If you are tea person, I recommend the Tazo Teas. So many flavors; so little time;)
2: Ugg Boots or just boots in general. I used to be on “I am never buying a pair of those” train but I did several years ago and have no regrets. These babies keep my feet warm and cozy.
3:Soup. As cold as it is; your body needs warm food to keep it going. I recommend Pacific Natural Foods Soups. Yum!
Stay warm readers!
Happy Weekend!
