Philosophy: Double Rich Hot Cocoa

Friday January 16, 2009

I think the general consensus is that the majority of us are cold. Very cold. It's currently - 25 to -35 with windchill factored in where I live, and all I can think about this week is trying to stay warm. And I know I'm not alone.

So, in honor of all of us who are having troubles feeling our toes, sporting hats that have nothing to do with style and are contemplating wearing snow pants just to pick up the kids from school, I'm sharing Philosophy's Double Rich Hot Cocoa. (buy direct)

This is one of Philosophy's stellar 3-in-1 shampoo, body wash and bubble bath. (Although, the cosmetologist in me will say skip using it on your hair. Too drying.) Because really, there's nothing like a mug of hot cocoa to warm you up. And the idea of taking a bath in what smells like a bath tub full of cocoa just makes me feel warm.

Reduce Your Product Collection

Wednesday January 14, 2009

I recently sold my house and found myself have to sit and really decide if I needed to keep all of my product, or if I could let some of it go. It was hard to start tossing, but I soon realized that some of the items that I thought I couldn't part with, hadn't actually been used in at least a year. Once I realized this, it was easy to sort though.

So let's say you can't imagine tossing that expensive body butter that you once loved and used, but have since moved on to something new. Skin care products aren't like shoes; they don't stay good forever! (Well, not that shoe styles stay good forever either!) You have to take the loss after a certain amount of time, but do you know how long your products last? What if you have an old product that hasn't been opened yet?

Find out these answers by reading Shelf Life of Your Skin Care Products. Then, take stock of your product and see what you can toss. If you haven't used it in the past year, toss it!

Golden Globes Glamour

Monday January 12, 2009

I am a award ceremony addict. I love relaxing at home in my sweats analyzing all of the clothes, hair and makeup. (Oh, you know you do it too.) The Golden Globes were last night, and there was of course the typical good, bad and ugly. I'm typically a big fan of Renee Zellweger, but what was she thinking?

We've got a ton of Golden Globe fashion and beauty reports if you want to see the fashion, hair and makeup. Here are a few of the lists that made the style homepage.
