Sugar Body Scrubs

Hello,

It's that time of year where tanning begins and that means...getting rid of dead skin!

I have been shopping for a nice body scrub, and here's some I've come across that I've heard good things about:

BODY SCRUBS:

Bath and Body Works Malibu Heat

Bath and Body works has TONS of different kinds of body scrubs, but the employees always rave to me about how amazing this scent is.

Bath and Body Works True Blue Spa Beach Sand

don't forget your feet! Give those toes some love :)

Bath and Body Works True Blue spa  sugar manicure scrub

This one is specifically designed with your hands in mind.

Laura Mercier- Almond Coconut Milk scrub

Love this one- I've tried it before and if you love coconut, you will love this smell.

They also come in other amazing scents like Creme Brulee, Pistachio, and Fig.

I am currently using the pistachio one and I love that too.

It's really expensive at $46 but the jar is huge! It will last forever and it's worth the money. Your skin looks and feels amazing and smells good :)

Victoria Secret Pink: Wild at Heart scrub

I personally love this scent and that it's more reasonably priced, and pink also has matching tanners to go with all their products.

Laura Mercier Face Polish

I use this one on my face twice a week to get an amazing glow. This one is also expensive at $36, but it literally lasts me for 4 or 5 months at a time.

Lush Ocean Salt

My grandmother got this one as a gift and she really likes it! I went to the store to try it on my hands and it smells really great!

Well those are my recommendations for body scrubs. Let me know what you think :)

Patio Furniture Ideas

I hope everyone had a happy Mother's Day :)

It's that time of year where the weather is heating up and summer BBQ season begins, which is why I would love to talk about patio furniture! I am moving in a couple months, and I finally have a backyard and would like to put cute seating outside that will last for a while.

Here's some ideas for patio furniture I thought of:

Echo set from Pier 1:

This is similar to a set bought and recommended by Blair Fowler on youtube. I love how pretty and bright the colors are and that you can rearrange the chairs anyway you like

You can buy matching cushions for this adorable swing seat :)

Restoration Hardware:

I would NEVER buy this for myself. WAAAY too expensive.

Crate and Barrel:

an interesting mod look:

other interesting ridiculously priced couches:

Target:

and of course, my personal favorite Target :)

Sears:

I love hammocks

Home Depot:

They have some great, more reasonably priced ideas:

Here's some honorable mention photos of my dream backyard (some are just ridiculous):

outdoor pool projector with pool seating:

Camp like lounge chairs:

cute and practical seating:

poolside seating:

indoor/outdoor amazing look:

Well, happy summer everyone :) It's pretty hot here in San Diego right now!

Mother's Day Gift Ideas

It's that time of year to remember to spoil your mom on her special day :)

Here's some great Mother's Day gift ideas:

Mani-pedi- what mom doesn't love to be pampered? Go with her if you're a girl, she wants to talk to you! (This is almost a tradition by now for my mom and I)

Bath & Body works, Mother's Day VIP Tote, the tote is awesome!

Massage- spa day, Massage Envy has reasonably priced intro massages for one hour, starting at $49!
I love coming here and now both my parents are hooked on it too :) melt the stress away~

Breakfast in bed- wait on your mom for one day out of the year. because I know my mom always ends up waiting on me... :( I'm lazy.

Chocolate

Vosges and/or Chuao (in San Diego)

Vosges is used by Victoria's Secret every year for Valentine's Day and their truffles are amazing and their chocolate bars are available for purchase at Whole Foods and Bristol Farms

Sprinkles

For the people who love ice cream and/or cupcakes. Just don't make her go wait in line with you :(

Flowers

Write a list of all the reasons you appreciate her!

:) Happy early Mother's Day to all the moms and amazing women out there!

Bath and Body Works Haul

Hello everyone! :)

Here's some photos and feedback on my most recent Bath & Body Works spring haul :)

VIP TOTE with Rome Honeysuckle Amore

Rome Honeysuckle Amore- Delicious feminine smell with a hint of soap, smells amazing and perfect for spring time :)

The Forever Red moisturizing cream is still my favorite, but not I distinctly associate it with holiday time, since I bought it first in November.

Candles:

Summertime S'mores
I have been waiting for another s'mores candle to come out, and this one smells great! :)

Watermelon Lemonade
Smells like watermelon candy, sweet and enticing.

Pocket bac: Ocean Sunset and Island Breeze
love having pocketbacs everywhere- my purse, my office desk, my car, can't get enough of them!

Soap: Peach Bellini and Island Breeze

This one smells great, but very strong!

Candle Pedestal- makes your house look so classy! yeah!

So that's everything in terms of my latest Bath & Body Works purchase. Haven't bought this much stuff since the November black friday run.

Thank you for reading. Enjoy May everyone~
