Every time I go to my dentist Dr. Jennifer Jablow (which is often…and whom I love), I always notice two things- her perfectly white teeth (of course) and her super pretty lip gloss.  Of course I just had to have whatever gloss she was using so one day before she shot me up with novocaine for my cavity fillings, she handed me two tubes of her miracle product: Pout N Polish and they haven’t left my  handbag since!

Confession: I had no idea that LUSH made massage bars. In fact, I had no idea what “massage bars” were. Luckily, LUSH remedied that situation when they sent me their Therapy Massage Bar to try–a solid bar of moisturizing goodness that is perfect for a massage! It’s completely organic and contains shea butter, cocoa butter, lavender, sweet orange, and neroli oils. The bar warms up as you rub it over your skin, and begins to melt smoothly into your skin. It even has a little notch that you can use to apply a bit more pressure. I’m excited to try this one!

You can find the Therapy Massage Bar at LUSH for just $8.75. The only potential drawback? The aforementioned ingredients do combine for a somewhat unique scent. I found it to be relaxing, though I can understand how others may find it a bit overwhelming. See for yourself at your nearest LUSH store!

There is nothing I like more than getting pampered.  If I was a millionaire, I’d be one of those people with a standing appointment at the most luxurious spa around on a monthly (oh, who are we kidding, weekly) basis.  But let’s face it, even if most of us did have a bank account that ended with a long string of zeros, finding the time to get yourself to a spa to enjoy a service isn’t always easy.  There’s the drive to get there, the time spent changing in the locker room, waiting in line to pay, etc…  (Not to mention the fact that in L.A., the second you get back on the road and find yourself in bumper to bumper traffic, any relaxing effects from your treatment are instantly wiped away).  So when I heard about Yada Yada Yoga, a company that offers a mobile approach to both fitness and relaxation services, I jumped at the chance to have an experienced technician come to my home and pamper me.
