With another big snowfall predicted for the east coast in the next couple of days, I think it’s safe to say that most of America is tired of the snow and could use a little sun and warmth. And what better way to get your spring on then with some springtime scents. And a few items from the SLATKIN & CO. is helping me out with this. Check some of these out. And each of these has a really good scent throw.

Conch Candle in Sea Breeze ($16.50/5.5oz) - I can practically smell this through the monitor! And the vehicle this fresh scent is packed in is so pleasing to the eye. And it’s not small – 4” x 7 ¾”. So darling.

Scentportable ($5/.2oz) – these came out a few months ago and you can take it with you! Inside each is a scent disc and the back is a clip so you can put it in your office, closet, car, or just hold it in your hand and wave it in front of your nose. And my pick right now is the Shore Breeze. It’s just what you’d guess, a fresh light and clean scent. Both @ bathandbodyworks.com.

CND Nail Enamel in Iced Cappuccino ($10 @ cnd.com) – At a glance, could you tell which season this color would be best for? Neither can I but I do  know it fits in quite nicely now and is donning my fingertips as we speak. Ok, ok, if you need backup, the experts at CND have predicted the shades of gold and metallics to be big for spring and summer.

What’s great about the world we live in today are the options we have when it comes to things like beauty. For many years, there were only a few selections to make when it came to shampoos or mascaras but not anymore. And that is certainly the case when it comes to the cateogry of products that use natural or organic ingredients. There are almost too many to choose from, in my opinion. So that’s why we’re glad we do what we do and help you get through it all to see what’s worth it and what’s not. JUiCE BEAUTY has been “doing” organic for many years and all of their products use up to 95% certified organic ingredients. Here are two new ones we are digging at the moment:

Organic Facial Wash ($22/4oz) – contains organic grapes and apple juices, sunflower oil, essential fatty acids, honey and helichrysum (for its anti-bacterial and anti-acne properties) and carrot seed. It has a strong, but delightful, herb smell. If you are sensitive to some ingredients, do a spot test before using this one. Remember, natural or organic products can be a little more harsh than what you are used to.

Organic Facial Moisture Concentrate ($36/1oz) -  concentrating the ingredients of organic cranberry, grapeseed, sunflower and jojoba oils give skin a boost of these ingredients’ benefits. Both @ juicebeauty.com.

Have sensitive to normal or oily skin? Rosacea? Does your skin just need a pick me up? EMiNENCE ORGANIC SKIN CARE Quince & Ice Wine Masque ($52/2oz @ ariva.com) might just be one for you. And if you’ve never gotten excited about a face mask, this is a good one to start with as it has some pretty great ingredients to give skin a boost – the juice of ice wine (the grapes are frozen still on the vine thus allowing a more concentrated grape), apple pulp and juice, quince (used for  its softening, moisturizing and restructuring properties), honey, echinacea, jojoba oil a Biocomplex of vitamins A and E, and Co-Q10 to name a few. So while the mask is on the face, they say it neutralizes free radicals with antioxidants, calms and soothes with the echinacea and honey and then that Biocomplex kicks in to help brighten the skin. Even though this is only 2 ounces, this is the case where a little goes a long way. Highly recommended.

What: PRAVANA Keratin Fusion Revitalizing Shampoo and Keratin Fusion Revitalizing Conditioner

Has: human hair keratin, amino acids, sunscreen, natural botanicals, also known as their own Naturceutical Complex.

Has Not: sulfates

Bottom line: If you color treat your hair, sulfate-based products will rob and strip your hair of the color. Keep it vibrant for as long as possible with products made especially for those that color their hair. These two are front and center in my bathtub.

Price: $15/10.1oz each @ pravana.com for salons near you.
