Basil in your bathroom?
November 19, 08
I absolutely LOVE Basil – and considering I’m half Italian, I could put Basil in just about everything!
So, when Sexy Bath and Body came out with a Citrus Basil Energizing Creamy Body Wash and Moisturizer – I couldn’t wait to try it! I used it this morning for the first time – and although it didn’t really smell so much like the herb – It was super refreshing and I loved it!

Take a Shower with Brad Pitt
November 14, 08
Okay, well not really with Brad Pitt himself! But, earlier this week I met up with Donna Paty, the National Education Manager for Kiehl’s who was showing me whats new and hot for Kiehl’s this season (which there is lots of great stuff!) – and after she asked me if “I wanted to take a shower with Brad Pitt” – I laughed for a good minute – then knew I just had to share this with you!
Kiehl’s recently partnered with Brad Pitt to launch a new “eco-effective” product called: Aloe Vera Biodegradable Liquid Body Cleanser – where 100% of the net profits from sales of this innovative formulation, which is Cradle to Cradle Certified, will benefit JPF Eco Systems – a charitable foundation created with Brad Pitt to support global environment initiatives.
This product is also made of 100% environmentally conscious, readily biodegradable ingredients - which means that the ingredients help to minimize impact by biodegrading in the earth within 28 days.
The cleanser is also free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and dyes. Plus, it’s super easy to rinse off which also helps in the conservation of water.
And, not only is it great for the environment – but it smells fantastic, has a wonderful lather and leaves your skin feeling hydrated and fresh!
Plus, it’s a great Holiday Gift Idea for all of your ‘Go Green’ friends and family members on your list! I already got one for my sister! Yipppee!
And, don’t forget to wake.up & make.up!
