How aware are you? Are you doing your monthly self exams? October is you-know-what-month and we don’t believe in just being aware one month out of the year. It should be every month. That’s why I we are picking this candle to remind us to do our exams. ARCHiPELAGO BOTANICALS ‘Ribbons of Love’ Candle ($29/9.5oz @ nordstrom.com) smells delightful of pink grapefruit, clemetine and pomelo (a Chinese grapefruit) and is blended with 50% soy wax. And with 60 hours of burn time, I will nurse this for months to come.

Yummy Yummy Yummy Shower Gel – the first ingredient listed is strawberries. Strawberries!! Also contains honey, almond oil, olibanum oil (also known as Frankincense), and surprisingly balsamic vinegar. Can’t smell that one though. It’s just smells like a sweet combo of strawberries and jasmine.

Rub Rub Rub Shower Gel – infused with sea salt, though it feels like very fine sugar, this one contains lemon juice, jasmine flower and mimosa. So this one gives you a little exfoliation while cleansing. Truly delightful!

Note that these both contain Sodium Laureth Sulfate so if you are sensitive to it, I would forgo these two.

$23.95/16.9oz each @ lush.com

I recently took an impromptu poll of 10 women to see how many of them are incorporating a face primer into their daily routines. The results? Out of 10, 4 are using one. Hmmmm, not as many as I thought but maybe the trend is just taking a few to get to everyone. A primer does a few things: fills in wrinkles to create a seemless application for your foundation, helps makeup last longer than normal and can help correct something on the face like rosacea. Try any of the below for super smooth results.

SEPHORA "Tricks of the Trade" Immediate Wrinkle Filler ($20/.42oz @ sephora.com)

MALLY BEAUTY Perfect Prep Primer ($35 @ qvc.com)

REDPOINT Age MInimizer Line Filler ($38/1oz @ redpointbeauty.com)

MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Microperfecting Primer ($32/1oz @ sephora.com)

Since when it is a comb just a comb? Not for many years has a comb been just ordinary at least if you love all things beauty. Can we recommend some intelligent ones? Two great basics we love come from i/m - the 3-in-1 Comb ($6), the Detangling Comb ($5). Both and others @ studioim.com
