Sunsheen Custom Color by Perscriptives

And now that Fall is here, and our tans our fading...BRONZERS are a necessity! This Bronzer from Prescriptives gives a nice brown tint without looking too made-up or too dark. It gives you the perfect warm glow to get you through the pasty winter months while we wait for spring to come around again!

Flawless Skin by Perscriptives

I recently decided I needed a little more facial coverage than what Bare Minerals could give me and I have to say, this foundation from Prescriptives is great! You don't have to use very much..it's buildable so you can layer it in areas that are more problematic than others without it looking cakey. It feels light when your wearing it and it stays on for the longhaul. If your going to get this, I also recommend getting the foundation brush which will help get that nice even coverage without depositing oils and bacteria from your fingertips.

Super Line Preventor Xtreme

I know I've been very loyal to Bare Minerals up until now, and I still love Bare Minerals, but I have since started trying stuff from the Prescriptives Line. First, I can't say enough about their great customer service at Tri-County Mall, but secondly..their products really are all they are cracked up to be! This Super Line Eraser is THE BOMB! I don't have wrinkles yet, but using this stuff has totally smoothed out my skin and I literally noticed a difference overnight. It's a light gel formula so it lasts a long time. Believe me, this stuff is worth every penny.

Olay Body Wash plus Radiance Ribbons

This Body Wash is SO EXCITING! I don't recommend it for men, unless they want to look 'sparkly' but for girls, this is so fun! This body wash not only smells great, works great...it also deposits little tiny bits of shimmer onto your skin giving you a luminous glow. I love when I get out of the shower and I look at my arms and I see tiny little sparkles! No need to buy extra products for that dewey shimmery look, you can get it in your daily routine! It's like a 2 for 1!!! I love this stuff!

Movie - Peaceful Warrior

A long long time ago I read a book called Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. This book changed my life. It changed my whole outlook on everything and taught me to live for the moment and focus on the 'here and now'. I was beside myself with excitement when I walked into the movie store and saw that they had made a movie our of it! Peaceful Warrior is a very uplifting, life changing movie. I totally recommend seeing this movie. The book is better....but the movie was great too. If your not one to read I say get the movie and watch it several times...and if your a reader, then go for the book. Dan Millman also wrote two children's books that I think are great too. Quest for the Crystal Castle and Secret of the Peaceful Warrior.

LAAAADIES! I found your summer staple. These fold-over top skirts are an absolute MUST HAVE! Seriously, wear 'em with a tank, wear 'em with a tee, wear with just about anything and I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Total comfort...AND... this years model is better than last years.

Classy...not too short, not too long, they will flatter every figure. And at $14.50 you can't afford NOT to have one...or SEVEN! hahahaha....

I recentely downloaded several of his songs and I haven't found one that I didn't like. They are all great and all so different from one another. Some of my favs if you are gonna download are: Everything, Mama's Got a Girlfriend, Diamonds on the Inside, Better Way, Steal My Kisses, Glory and Consequence, She's only Happy in the Sun, and Waiting For You...Great great music, I promise, you'll love it.

Exclusively ours, Miracle Cotton™ Towels

Soooo, I was really debating telling everyone about these towels...only because I'm <-> this close to going to every single Bed Bath and Beyond in the area and buying them all up. But, I figure, since I already bought FIFTEEN of them on my last visit, I'd let you all have at it. These towels are THE MOST AMAZINGLY SOFT towels I have ever dealt with. I'm so picky about my towels...I have needed new towels for so long and every single store I went to, I'd rub each towel only to be dissatisfied with their softness. Not with these babies! These towels feel like pure velvet...I could sleep in these towels. I could wear them out for a night on the town. I could clean with these towels wrapped around me...THEY ARE THAT GOOD! They are called 'MIRACLE'. And believe me, they are a true miracle in the world of towels. And even more miraculous....THEY ARE ONLY $5.99 A PIECE! Seriously dude...that's a deal! BUT..there is a catch, I found out through a little birdie that Bed Bath and Beyond are discontinuing them, so rev your engines and get to your nearest BBB and stock your towel closet! (OH..and guess what...with each washing, THEY GET SOFTER!!!!)

Buckle

This store is the death of me. But I can't help it. I love their jeans. My favorite brand are Big Star. If you get a chance to go to Buckle...you too will fall in love. My eternal struggle was to find jeans that fit me...I have a booty...and most jeans aren't made for us girls with back! I recommend the Florence Buckle....they are so so so helpful there. OH, and they do FREE ALTERATIONS on the jeans. So if you find a size that fits, but it's too long, no biggie...they will alter them to fit you perfectly. The only downside...the jeans I love are over $100...but you know..sometimes it's worth it...especially when you've spent a lifetime looking for good jeans.

Revlon Dark Pleasures

Black is the new BLACK! I've been combing the scene trying to find the perfect black nailpolish. I know...black is black right? Wrong! There's glossy black, matte black, black with shimmer, black with sparkles, black with blue undertones and so on. OPI has a really nice one that has purple undertones. Revlon has a great one, and it's my current fav that has gold undertones and shimmer to it. So far, I've only been able to find the Revlon at Walmart. It's part of their new line DARK PLEASURES and the one I love is called TALK DIRTY. (gotta love that!) Sally Hansen has a really good glossy black. So, go ahead, Black isn't goth anymore, give it a try, you'll love it. Your men will like that you have a 'naughty side'. ;)

Victoria Secret Lip Gloss

Sometimes the best tips come from the most unlikely suspects! Our friend, Liz....who never wears makeup, yet always looks beautiful told me about this lipgloss from Victoria Secret. Being that at the time she told me, she was wearing beach flip-flops with a satin shirt...I wasn't really sure I believed her. But the other day, I went into Victoria Secret and saw they were having a 2/$10 deal on those lipglosses. I figured, at that price, I've GOTTA try them out. And so I did...I bought Spice Girl and Sugar High. I LOVE SUGAR HIGH. There is glimmer galour packed into those little tubes and the BEST BEST BEST part is that they smell and taste good. What I love most is that there is no crappy lipbrush involved, you just squeeze and shine!!

Rimmel Mascara

I still swear by my DiorShow mascara, but there is another great one on the market that is only a few bucks. It's made by Rimmel, and it's called Lycra Lash Extender. This is a really really good mascara for the price. You will have to use a few coats to achieve the thick look, but as far as lengthening and separating, this mascara is tops. It's what I buy when I run out of the pricey stuff. Rimmel can usually be found at any Walgreens and it's usually only $6!!!

Wyler's Light Singles To Go

I am ALWAYS looking for ways to hydrate myself - BUT plain old water bottles just are not cutting it for me! I always admire the people that drink their 8 glasses of water a day. I really do try to take their advice and add lemon to my water, get smaller water bottles - so drinking is not so intimidating, BUT NOTHING seems to work for me! So until I all the sudden become a water drinker - these Wyler's singles have worked out GREAT for me. My favorite flavor is Cool Raspberry! I have tried the Lipton singles and Crystal Light singles - but for some reason Wyler's is my all time favorite and it is the least expensive!!! It is just what ya need if you are on the go - throw some in your water bottle and take off!

Does this sound familiar to you? You get in the car, you toss your cell phone on your dash, along with your iPod with intentions of taking them off as soon as your car gets moving. You don't.

You swear, you punch your dash, you get really really mad and you wonder to yourself, WHY DID I DO THAT ONCE AGAIN??? Well, I have the solution to your problems. The sticky dash mat. I've seen versions of these in various places and for $5 you can save yourself the headache of the sliding phone. I bought mine at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They have them sitting right at the register.
