Product Review: Heavenly Flowers from Victoria’s Secret

Photo Credit: Victoria Secret

A wonderful scent has been unleashed from the vaults of Victoria’s Secret by the name of  “Heavenly Flowers,” and it stands up to it’s name.  It’s a unique blend of feminine and sexy.  All of  the 10 women who I asked to try the scent,  loved the subtleness and the floral beginning of  the scent that turned into a yummy sweetness as the day went on.  It’s perfect for everyday wear and is just right for any occasion, night or day.  I received a lot of compliments when I wore the scent, mostly from women, which I value more (they have no ulterior agenda).  I got compliments saying I smelled lovely, vibrant, cheerful, and all inquired where to buy the wonderful scent of Heavenly Flowers.  I loved how I felt wearing it.  I felt very feminine, sensuous, and playful and yet excitingly delicious.

Heavenly Flowers ($49) has a delightful smell of a refreshing bouquet of white flowers that is feminine and subtle and turns into a sexy sweetness that is mild and tantalizing…inviting a significant other or certain someone to get a little closer.  Heavenly Flowers is very fun, very uplifting, very feminine, and very sexy.  Yet of course it is, Victoria always has the best secrets.  I suggest every woman try Heavenly Flowers and experience a little something of yourself.  It’s the best secret Victoria ever told.

Our Newest Love: Hello! Skinny Jeans

Oprah Winfrey, has proudly declared her love for Hello! Skinny Jeans.  The brand, claims to “tackled every possible way to make blue jeans more slimming and flattering,” but does it really work? I was tasked with the “awful” job of trying the jeans to test the claims.

See, I don’t wear jeans or pants for that matter– mainly because (I feel) jeans don’t flatter my figure and I feel they make me look fat. So when, I was offered the opportunity to try a pair of skinny jeans from Hello! Jeans, I was apprehensive to say the least; but not one to turn down an opportunity to try free clothes, especially one that claims to make you look smaller, I quickly sent my information for my jeans. I received the new astrological sign Hello! Skinny Jeans in dark denim and the regular dark denim. And, so glad I did. I love them.

I am truly convinced of their mystical jean “slimming and flattering” properties, since the first time I tried them on. I didn’t even believe I would fit into the jeans they sent and I thought they must have been some mistakes because they jeans seem so SMALL. But, at last they jeans fit and amazingly well- I must say. I am still trying to understand how.

I feel skinnier wearing with my Hello!’s and it now has become a staple piece in my wardrobe. I now wear JEANS and I didn’t before.

While the jeans, are a bit pricey($178 and up!), they are a must have if you are looking for a perfect jeans that doesn’t look like you squeezed yourself in. Though, a word of advice wash them before you wear them otherwise, you will stain your clothes.

You can buy them at specialty stores and via their website.

(P. S. I am now lusting after the Black Wash Bootcut)

Product Review: Tasty Food Alert- SunButter ® Natural Crunch

Do you remember being a child and loving P&J sandwiches? I do! It was an easy to make to healthy snack.  But that childhood favorite can be dangerous to people with peanuts allergies.  So dangerous in fact that peanut butter has been banned practical everywhere.  And, that’s were SunButter comes in.  The makers created a healthy substitute using sunflower seeds that tastes remarkably like peanut butter; best of all the substitute is very unlikely to cause an allergy attack as sunflower seeds have a very low allergy rate (virtually zero).  Now people can enjoy SunButter & jelly sandwiches without fear of a deathly attack.  Additionally, SunButter has a “butter” that caters to many individual preferences – selections include gluten free, smooth, chunky and so much more.

I recently tried the SunButter Natural Crunch. The butter has a rich flavor. It is a little more oily compared to peanut butter.  The crunch is milder because sunflower seeds are much smaller than peanuts. I very much enjoy eating it on celery stalk, crackers and on the classic P& J…better known as the need S&J J.

Product Review: Bodycology Body Wash (Soy Milk & Shea Butter)

Spring is here and Summer is quickly approaching! It’s that time to shape up, pull out those flowy dresses and get those pastel pedi /medi sets. I personally think gorgeous skin is this season’s hot pick. What is more  important than have glowing, soft, luminous skin? Nothing.

I have been using Bodycology Soy Milk & Shea Butter bodywash for last couple of weeks and I adore it! My skin now screams touch me ;  This is perfect because I have been fighting with adult acne and and not feeling my bestbut bodycology new line of bodywash makes me feels so flirty  and caress able.

Here is what I like about the product:

-          It has a delicate scent, a man can still smell my personal pheromones …ohhh lala

-          It literally quenches the skin. I do not need lotion after showering and you know NYC has some hard water.

-          It is multi-purpose; I use it as a shaving cream. No razor bumps afterward either.

-          It is AFFORDABLE and easy to find. It can be found at Walgreens and as low as $4.99. Although, it’s inexpensive it  feels and works like department store quality.

You can checkout their other products at www.bodycology.com . Don’t  just take my word, you will definitely like it!

Product Review: Aromatherapy Distillations Deep Cleansing Body Wash

Many of us New Yorkers live hectic lives. I know for one, I question how I fit so many events into one week, let alone into one day.  But with my favorite time of the year here “FASHION WEEK,” that is, I feel inundated by the recognizable and highly anticipated images of perfectly stitched designer gowns and suits. But behind the glamour, beautiful smiles, and all the buzz it can be tiring, partying and working for a week straight.   I need to something that will help me relax after a busy day and I tried Aromatherapy Distillations – Deep Cleansing Body Wash.  The body wash which is sold at Crabtree and Evelyn retails for $14.00.

I felt rejuvenated after using this deep cleansing body wash, my mind and body had transformed from an exhausted NYC gal to one that had just stepped out the scene of a hot and steamy sauna. Before lathering Crabtree & Evelyn’s Aromatherapy Distillations Deep Cleansing Body Wash, I breathed in the comforting scents of eucalyptus, peppermint, basil, lavender and lime essential oils. And to my delight my skin felt ultra soft and ultra clean.

More things to love about this product: it is easy to find, and won’t hurt your wallet.    Pick up a bottle, and tell me if you’ll be going back for a second and third purchase.
