Find a Haute New Fragrance for Spring
2007-05-13 23:13:00
Looking for a new fragrance for Spring ? Don't want to smell like every other gal who shops at the mall? Here are 2 great sites with amazing boutique fragrances from around the world. Both offer sampling programs, so you can try the scents that sound appealing, without springing for a whole bottle of something you may not end up liking. LuckyScent has a store in California and a vast selection of unique and hard-to-find fragrances. Try the prepackaged Spring sampler or browse their selection by your favorite notes (floral, vanilla, wood, etc). Aedes de Venustas has an elegant boutique in New York City, is a celeb-favored shopping destination and has been featured in numerous magazine articles on fragrance. The owners are wonderful and happy to provide top-drawer customer service both in-person and to their on-line and telephone customers. Their lovely gift-packaging is a treat on its own. Ambra di Venezia is a springtime favorite of mine.

Banana Boat EveryDay Glow
2007-05-11 07:10:00
Who would have thought this one would be my favorite, so far???I have tested many of the lotion-type self-tanners; Jergens, Coppertone, Neutrogena (reviews to come) and my favorite is Banana Boat !At first I thought it would not be the best simply because I don't, or haven't, seen it advertised as heavily as the others....wrong! Isn't that always the way, the cheapest is the best. We spend all this money on expensive high-end products that we often end up disliking, then we spend under $10 for something and it ends up being the best in quality and results!Anyway, the Banana Boat Ever yDay Glow in Medium, which I was hesitant to get because I am so pale, but the Medium is just fine, gives the best coverage, quickest results, smells fine and doesn't 'stain' everything you touch. Like all of them you have to wash your hands fairly quickly after applying, but it did not leave a trace on my hands. After only two days of applying just once a day, I noticed (as did my husband...shock...

Our favorite tees from Darling Mummy have a great, flattering shape (fitted but not belly-baring) and are sure to spark a conversation!When asked about their brainchild, hautemommas Sheri Aynn and Alisa had this to say: "Why, we wondered, was nobody catering to the spunky mommies out there who refused to sacrifice their sense of style or humor for motherhood? At one point, we decided to stop the fashion pity party and define our own brand of "carpool couture". So...here we are with a goal to provide stylish mothers like you with fun, yet practical, items for your casual wardrobe."Check out their fun and funky designs...and receive free shipping for the month of May with code "hautemommasmay07".I am ordering the "Carpool fuel" and "Nothing to Wear" and Jen is getting the " Mommy Juice" and "Red, White and Blue". Which one (or 2 or 3) is your fave?images and quoted text from darlingmummy.com...thanks!
