Make me up Mac

You know when you just need to feel refreshed? Or after your workout how you can't seem to calm down that redness? Try getting a hold of a bottle of Fix + (MAC). It works great to cool you down, especially if you put it in the fridge. It's very light and soothing, without a heavy scent. Sometimes I throw it in my gym bag.

Top Shelf Recommendation:
C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine
Mint-infused for fresh breath
Available at Bath and Body Works

Hairspray -Not the Broadway Show

So, a few weeks ago my good friend Jo and I were shopping at a local stripmall in Charlotte when we walked into Ulta. She wanted mascara, I wanted something, even if I didn't know what it was at the time. We walked around and browsed the aisles and had some fun. I told her I would buy her some mascara. A few years ago she treated me to a manicure. It was my turn to treat her, plus, I know more about mascara than she does. Of course, while we were browsing the make-up I found some awesome hairspray. We forget about the importance of hairspray, especially during these times when we have gels and mousse and molding paste and shining serum. But I read somewhere that you can spray your hair with hairspray and then dry it. So I tried it. It works. I forget how hairspray can make a not-so-neat ponytail thrive, too.

Top Shelf Recommendation: Schwarzkopf Professional Osis Freeze. Super Hold pump spray. I forgot to mention the pump. It's super efficient. I bought mine at Ulta.

Caribbean Therapy: Is Prozac Involved?

OOOH. I walked into a local salon to buy some more shampoo and what did I find? Aveda's new Caribbean Therapy body cream. I tested it on my hands, of course. This stuff is thick, but it absorbs quickly and smells delightful. I'm not sure what's Caribbean about it, but I still like it and you will too.
