I will get no commission for this post. I post it out of the goodness of my heart.<\/p>\n
Products I adore:<\/p>\n
— the Oil of Olay “regenerist” line<\/a>. I am particularly fond of the night cream and also the eye cream. And I also love (although I was fearful at first) the microdermabrasion kit. Highly recommended.<\/p>\n — along those lines, Oil of Olay just came out with a body lotion called “Quench<\/a>” and I will seriously karate chop anyone who tries to take it away from me<\/p>\n — all cleaning products from Melaleuca<\/a>. The Trinidadian guru got me hooked on them, and I will never go back. The laundry detergent (MelaPower) is fantastic, and I also love their “Tough and Tender” kitchen cleaner.<\/p>\n — the “Lemon Lavendar” scent in the Yankee Candle line<\/a>. I can’t even describe it, it’s just a wonderful mix of scents – and somehow not overpowering.<\/p>\n — Swiffer<\/a>. I wish I could make out with my Swiffer.<\/p>\n — all makeup from Smash Box<\/a>. I am a total convert. It’s outrageously expensive – but since I don’t wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis, it is lasting forever. Thank you, Eric<\/a>! I am especially in love with the “artificial light luminizing lotion”. You take one drop and smooth it over your face before you put on foundation. I like the “diffuse” – which is totally clear. You are not putting on foundation or coverup – you are basically preparing the skin for the makeup. And since you only need a teensy drop, one bottle lasts forever. Once the foundation goes on over that – it’s almost better than a face lift, if you get the right tone. That’s why it;’s called “artificial light”, I imagine – it gives your skin the look of one who is carrying around her own soft-focus lamp.<\/p>\n — BenGay<\/a>. I think I would need to go into rehab if I no longer could use BenGay. I like the “ultra strength” – the one in the red box.<\/p>\n — Nag Champa<\/a>. You kinda can’t do any better. I actually get anxious when I run out of it and it’s too late to race out and buy some more. The candle store I frequent (I’m a candle fanatic) has a wonderful scent there called India Moon, which I also love love love. If they’re out of India Moon, I plunge into a depression of the blackest dye.<\/p>\n — Hand sanitizer. I know it’s horrible and actually not all that good for you – but I’m an addict. I’ve mentioned before that I am vaguely OCD about the cleanliness of my hands, so hand sanitizer has been like blood to a vampire.<\/p>\n I am agnostic about shampoo and toothpaste. Recommendations welcome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I will get no commission for this post. I post it out of the goodness of my heart.
