The four blades that all Schick Quattro razors have provide an ultra-smooth finish. They really spoil you. I really don’t even consider razors with less than four blades at this point. The conditioning strips on this new Schick Quattro are treated with acai berry and jojoba for extra moisturizing and nutrients for your skin. The pivoting head on this razor makes shaving tricky areas like knees and underarms a breeze.

If you spot this razor in your local drugstore or mass market (Target, Walmart, etc), do pick one up!

Seriously, it smells SO GOOD. I realize that scent is subjective, and you could very well have a different favorite from Korres, but Vanilla Guava is a sensual medley that is as feminine as it is sweet and exotic for spring. Vanilla Guava smells soft and luscious. The jumbo showergel itself lathers your entire body with two pumps and contains wheat proteins to balance moisture retention in your skin. It also contains no harmful parabens nor stripping sulfates.

At $19.50 for a large, 13 ounce bottle, it should last you awhile. For a potentially decadent shower experience, you’re worth it. Korres products can be found in Sephora.

China Glaze Nail Laquer in “Salsa” ($6.50)

Imagine germ-free, worry-free hands. This light, hydrating moisturizer instantly and continuously kills bacteria for up to four hours. Like invisible germ-killing gloves, its patented SafetyDerm™ technology suspends Benzethonium Chloride within airy, light layers of moisturizers.

It’s also alcohol-free and paraben-free. We’ll take it.

Thymes is no exception, and we were sent their Euclyptus Body Lotion and Body Wash just in time for allergy season.

Aside from the crisp, fresh aroma of eucalyptus and citrus notes, the body lotion made a great on-the-go, moisturizing hand cream and the body wash produced a nice lather in the shower.

You can find travel sizes of both products for only $5.50 each at Thymes.com.

I’m forever a fan of natural body care products as well as coconut oil in general. Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Cream also contains peppermint oil, olive oil, and antioxidant vitamin E. I like to use this not only on my ankles and the edges of my soles, but also a dab on my knees and elbows.

One thing to note about natural body care products is that the consistency may not always be ideal. This foot cream has a thick gel consistency which may seem too greasy for some. If that doesn’t scare you away, know that this stuff is stellar when it comes to locking in moisture, and that a dab’ll do ya. All day long.

You can find Burt’s Bees Coconut Foot Creme in drugstores nationwide for less than $10.

Spring cleaning season is upon us. It’s easy to get caught up in your closet, but don’t underestimate the power of giving your shower routine an overhaul. Discard all moldy, empty and un-used products from your bath and shower. Come on people, you bathe in there!

Simplify your selection of scrubs, washes, gels and other bathing supplies. One easy alternative to cut down on clutter and simplify your beauty routine is to switch to a bar soap. It takes up less space in the shower, lasts longer than liquid soaps and less of the product goes down the drain so you’ll get more bang for your buck.

Yardley of London’s botanical moisturizing bars are a timeless favorite available in classic English Lavender and Oatmeal & Almond. Yardley soaps are also available in Spring fresh scents including: Honeysuckle Citrus, Lavender Wisteria, Lemon Verbena and Fresh Aloe. Each boutique-inspired bar builds to a rich, fragrant lather to cleanse, beautify and nurture the skin with naturally moisturizing ingredients and nature inspired essential oils. After winter’s harsh elements, your skin will thank you for this luxurious treat.

Step out of the bath feeling kissed by nature’s power and the healing benefits of Yardley’s naturally moisturizing ingredients and essential oils. Available nationally at supermarkets or drugstores for under $3 a bar.

Korres Silicone Free Face Primer

Korres Silicone-Free Face Primer has been my go-to primer/moisturizer for the past couple months. I’ve been using it religiously since my Vegas vacation. What I love most about it is that it contains grapefruit oil and vitamin E — both are skin-savers that fight acne and hyperpigmentation — and that it indeed keeps makeup in tact all day.

Lashes by Smoke & Mirrors Beauty

I was sent a bulk of false lash sets by a representative of Smoke & Mirrors Beauty, celebrity makeup artist Stephen Moleski’s own lash line. They are cleverly named after “beautiful” US cities, including Miami, Las Vegas, Nashville, and Hollywood (my personal favorite lash strips were Nashville – plush yet natural-looking). They are a perfect accessory to any makeup look and give license to skip mascara – this I love! My natural lashes can take a break from wear and tear but I can still bat “my lashes” glamourously on a night out. The lash strips are thin, so they rest upon your own lashes looking quite natural. Keep in mind that you would still need to purchase your own lash glue (I use Lash Grip by Ardell, found at drugstores and beauty supply shops). You can order Smoke & Mirrors Beauty false lashes from SmokeandMirrorsBeauty.com.

ko Denmark Jasmine Neroli Body Products

The best thing about starting my day lately, next to my morning cup of coffee, is ko denmark Organic Jasmine Neroli Body Wash and Body Lotion. Did you know that jasmine, aromatherapeutically, is said to “wake up” the brain upon inhalation? The body wash and body lotion I received, for me, seems to do just that. I love that the body wash lathers your entire body with just a couple pumps and the body lotion leaves a soft sheen on the skin (and is richly hydrating). It’s such a treat. (kodenmark.com)

Red Mango Frozen Yogurt

You should definitely check out Red Mango if you have one in your area. I was looking for a local frozen yogurt joint and this one is located just down the street from where I live. Their newest flavor, Madagascar Vanilla, is 100 calories (for the small), probiotic, and all-natural (no artificial ingredients). I’m in love! It has that perfect tartness that keeps me coming back for more. Beware, because it can become a total addiction. (redmangousa.com)

Vertical Cologne for Men

Lastly, I’ve had quite a fetish lately with wearing men’s fragrance. This bottle is my boyfriend’s Vertical Cologne by Victoria’s Secret, which contains notes of lavender and amber with more manly notes of suede and bergamot. Some seasons I’m repulsed by too-sweet fragrances and need something deeper (but with “girly” notes to balance it out). I love that modern men’s fragrances have become softer and crisper than of the past, and coincidentally work on my own skin. Try a man’s fragrance on yourself sometime and you may just fall in love.

I guarantee armpits are something most women do think about. Deodorants/anti-perspirants leave a waxy buildup that worsens underarm bumps and makes shaving difficult. This deodorant residue also contains metals that can yellow your clothing.

I found Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser to be better than any soap or cream for getting a smooth shave. A quick foam removes residue (including metal salts left by deodorants) from under arms, and it feels more like a great face wash than body soap. The cleanser retails at $22, but one 4oz bottle can last up to a year.

As silly as it sounds, there is something about using an underarm cleanser that makes you feel really spoiled and pampered. Using it in the shower before bed feels great and removes the sticky deodorant clogging your pores. While it is recommended that you continue use of your normal deodorant while using this product, I’ve found that while using Clarsskin, I can get away with less, or even no deodorant, depending on what I’m up to.

You can read more about Clarsskin Underarm Cleanser or purchase online at Clarsskin.com.

“One Hand Helps the Other” Intensive Hand Cream ($7.99) by ecoTools contains jojoba oil for moisturization and has a light, fresh scent. It works as well as any other drugstore hand cream, but with better ingredients (98% from nature), so you can feel OK holding your best friend’s baby or letting your dog lick your hand after applying it.

I am a fiend for foot products, so I was most excited to try ecoTools’ “Love Heels All” Heel Cream ($7.99). The cream uses repairing natural butters, and smells like the hand cream but stronger and mintier – very pleasant. I applied this cream multiple times and am not sure how it works as the healing cream it’s play-on-words name suggests, but this stuff would definitely maintain longer foot smoothness after a pedicure. Plus, there’s the natural factor, so you’ll feel no guilt rubbing feet with your lover beneath the covers.

ecoTools also offers an earth-friendly body wash and body mist, which I would love to try. Additionally, they provide a “Green, Clean, Go” Travel Kit and a “Be Green, Live Clean” Body Care Set, which allow you to test out their products and easily tote eco-chic toiletries on the go. ecoTools offers a small, affordable step towards protecting the environment and your skin.
