Lather's Delicious Cranberry Sugar Scrub

This is truly the best sugar scrub on the planet!! Trust me, you will fall in love with it and will want to share it with all your friends (it makes a great gift).

There are lots of great sugar scrubs on the market, but one element that I find with other sugar and salt scrubs is that they tend to be too oily and slippery. This one contains wonderful therapeutic oils without being overly oily and slippery.

Lather's Cranberry Sugar Scrub provides therapeutic benefits from its many botanical oils such as sesame, sweet almond, kukui nut, macadamia nut and sunflower seed, which moisturize and soothe your skin.

The pure turbinado sugar granules and cranberry seeds provide gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin silky smooth. This delightful and delicious sugar scrub polishes your skin and rinses clean. It's the best sugar scrub you'll ever try!!

It retails for $38.00 for 10.0 oz and is available online (www.lather.com) or at any Lather boutique:

• San Jose, CA: Lather Santana Row
• Pasadena, CA: Lather Historic Old Town
• Scottsdale, AZ: Lather Kierland Commons
• New York City: Lather Spa

A splash of color with TerraTints

If you're anything like me, you don't have time to fuss with lipstick on a daily basis nor do you want to wear it everyday. Don't get me wrong, I love lipstick and the fabulous colors it offers, but on a daily basis, I prefer my SPF lip balm.

Anyone who knows me knows that I'm all about staying healthy and doing my best to watch everything I put in and on my body. But in the world of cosmetics and personal care products you almost have to be a detective to decipher what's good and what's bad.

In general, I stay away from petroleum-based skin care products, which includes my lip balms. I favor three in particular. For daytime, I like Arbonne's BefoRE Sun Lip Saver, SPF 30, or my newest favorite Dermalogica's solar shield SPF 15, and at night I use Alba's Passion Fruit Nectar Lip Balm by Avalon Natural Products (Avalon was recently acquired by the Hain Celestial Group).

All three are great lip balms that hydrate, protect and nourish your lips; and they are vegan and not tested on animals.

The reason I wear lip balm daily is because I love to keep my lips hydrated, nourished and protected, but sometimes it would be nice to have a little color without having to wear lipstick. The solution: Alba's TerraTints.
