Product Review time...

I love a good product! I've even been one to spend some good money on something I love if it pampers me. This list of product reviews are all products I have grown pretty attached to. They cost more then I'd like to pay but are well worth their value!


HEMPZ Body Lotion: retails $24
I was first introduced to this product years and years ago. My sister wore it and it has an unmistakable aroma that is to die for! It's creamy and well absorbed and is so enriching. I am addicted to it's smell and feel. I can pick it out of a crowd when worn by others! This large bottle last a while when worn with some thought. I use it mainly on my hands and arms, keeping it's scent close to my nose and not wasting it on my legs even though it has incredible moisturizing advantages. I just want it to last! My husband also loves the scent! This is by far my favorite lotion.

*** If you have a friend with a cosmetology license be sure to make nice and ask them to take you to their whole sale store for products. You'll pay half price!!!!



Jack Black Body Lotion for Men: Retails $22
This fantastic bottle of love is perfect for men! It's not that flowery fem scented lotion they accidentally use in the morning and then get weird looks at all day at work because they smell like a girl! It's a subtle manly smell that is perfect to smell on your man as you kiss him good by for work each morning! It's rich and has great moisture as well and is well absorbed!Key factors in lotion if you ask me! This entire line is sold at Nordstrom. Wish I could get it half off but I can't.


Bert's Bee Baby Bee Apricot Baby Oil: Retails $8


If you are pregnant, planning on becoming pregnant I highly recommend this wonder oil!

When I was knocked up for the very first time my good friend Julie swore by using Apricot Kernel oil to prevent stretch marks! She sent me a bottle of lotion and I fell hard for the stuff. It smelled incredible and I religiously lathered my growing belly, butt and boobs every day! Months later after popping out a baby I was hard pressed to find a single stretch mark on my tummy! It sadly was unavoidable on my boobs. The body isn't meant to grow that fast in one hours time! HELLO PORN Boobs!!! Anyway... The lotion she sent me was froma Foo Foo Boutique in Northern CA. I have since fallen equally as hard for Bert's Bees Baby Apricot Oil!Enriched with the same goodness and actually makes you smell like a human Cabbage Patch Kid!!! A plus in my book! It's sold at TARGET so anyone can find it! I have used it for my last two pregnancies and I still have no signs of SM. They say they are hereditary which means I should have my fair share so I'm a believer people!!! This stuff rocks!


Maybellines Dream Liquid Mouse Foundation: Retails $8


Love it!!!! Great coverage! Great light feel and a little goes a long way!!! For those of us who wear foundation this new line is a must try! It's easy to get a smooth even full coverage and it feels weightless. The only thing that sucks is that it's usually hard to match your skin tone when you can't sample it at a counter. I got really lucky and bought the shade that fits my tone. I know some drug stores offer a color match grantee so hit up those retail stores and hold onto your receipt. I think RITE AID is one of them but double check.

yep, yep! I love the hempz lotion too! I got some from Andrea in a fav things swap and love it, Jason doesn't like the smell though! He's crazy! He's weird about smells. I can also attest to the bb apricot oil! I can' thank you enough for introducing that to me! It worked with kate and so far, no stretch marks this time either!!! Both my sisters and mom had them, so it IS a miracle!

I love Hempz lotion. My hair stylist friend got me some for xmas and I love the smell. I am just hesitant to take it to work due to the leaf on the front! Haha.
