Summer is right around the corner so that means its time to exfoliate and self-tan that skin!  The products I love to use to prep the skin for the summer (and really to use the whole year) are these must have’s from Josie Maran.  They have an amazing sugar balm body scrub that will help prep the skin for your self tanner. It smells great and works.  The Argan Tan Extending Body Lotion is great to keep your self tan looking good and to make it last a bit longer. It also smells great and is extra moisturizing. As you know the best way to make your self tan last is to keep up with the moisturizer.  For your beach bag don’t forget to pack the Bear Naked Wipes and the Argan Color Stick.  This color stick can be used on lips and cheeks – anywhere you want a hint of color. It is organic, chemical free and it conditions the skin as well as provides anti-oxident protection. Check it out!

Valentine’s Day is almost here. What are some great gift ideas for the person who is hard to buy for and has just about everything???  For the foodie, fashionista, tech lover or art lover in your life why not send a gift that keeps on giving?  Quarterly is a subscription box service that enables people to receive customized packages in the mail from influential curators of their choice.

Quarterly ships themed boxes curated by celebrities and tastemakers for $50 or $100 (depending on the curator), per shipment. It’s the gift that keeps on giving (until you unsubscribe). Users can also gift subscriptions as a one-off. The best part is each subscription is uniquely created by someone you admire and offers a peak into the personal lives of the influential curator. For the Music lover: Pharell Williams gift box, Nina Garcia style maven gift box (she is the creative director of Marie Claire) The Top Chef: Andrew Zimmern gift box (TV personality, chef, food writer and creator, host and co-executive producer of Travel Channel’s hit series, Bizarre Foods) are just some of the tastemakers putting together a gift for you!  It’s a really fun and unique gift idea for not only Valentine’s Day but for birthdays and makes a great thank you gift.

We talked about it before and I will tell you again I love mancrates.com. They build amazing gifts, packed in wooden crates and delivered with a crowbar to open. It’s like the modern take on gift basket but for men. Inside, each crate is full of hot sauces, beef jerky, personalized beer glasses or other guy goodies —for the beer lover, snack lover, athlete, etc. starting at $24.99. You can choose the crate that’s perfect for that special man in your life. Great idea for Father’s day too!

Also, don’t forget for your last minute Valentine needs CVS has the best selection of cards, chocolates and treats!

Happy Valentine’s Day!

You mean you have not completed shopping yet? It’s ok…I still have some last minute gifts to get.  My girls always like to head to Staples for supplies and cute items that they say they need every week!   A gift card is just what to get them.  Staples not only has great office supplies but during the holidays they have great gifts – from chocolate, gift sets and of course office decor that will brighten any one’s day.  If you are looking for a gift for a co-worker or a last minute gift, stop into their retail store.  Here are some of the fun items from Staples (the scotch tape dispenser is the best for the dog lover in your family)

Brookstone is another favorite.  (you know you stop in there every time you pass by it in the mall!)   Several years ago I bought their towel warmer (love it) and of course those remote control airplanes…. To keep your kids occupied during winter break check out their newest, fun product Sand!

THIS will keep them occupied…trust me. And it does not make a mess.

Your tween will love the bop speaker as it sticks to anything!  Happy last minute shopping!
