Eminence Mandarin Grapefruit Body Butter

Butter yourself in richness

Mmmm, take a nice hot shower, lay in bed, and with the light off, give yourself a liberal body massage. Start with hands, elbows, and work your way down to your feet. Drop the butter bar in the bowl and drop off to a yummy sleep. Your honey will like it's somewhat gliding accent to your skin. It's basically safe enough to be edible. One bar lasts a couple of months or more, depending how often you treat yourself. I keep it by the bed. Even if you just life the lid, the aroma has a therapeutic quality. I love the Eminence face powder brush too. Peace.

Jason Witch Vera Gel Cooling Moisturizer

Back to nature to soothe skin irritations

Aloe is excellent in combination here with witch hazel to soothe minor skin irritations. Though I am nearly 40, my face occasionally still breaks out. Rather than using plain witch hazel alone, as I used to do for a natural astringent without alcohol. I use this combo to reduce the redness from any blemishes. It's light enough not to cause blemishes (when used as a nightly moisturizer) and preventing break outs.

Banana Boat Continuous Clear Spray

Save your Surfer Husband

Well, if you can't save him from the pounding surf, at least hang a can of the Banana Boat spray by the front door. Then, even if he won't wear his rash guard, he will spray this over his broad back. He doesn't even have to wake me up. I'm happier not to see his shoulders burnt. He doesn't think it leaves him too greasy. It stays on for his long surf sessions. Worth the money. The Banana Boat SPF chapstick completes the protection. Surf's up!

Mary Kay Extra Emollient Night Cream

Cure for gardener's hands and luau feet!

I'm a really low maintenance gal, and I like to play hard. My hands can show it, especially dry or busy times of the year. If your skins ever cracks, you know it hurts like heck! This will cure ya, and it smells nice too. My husband can't stand it, for the same greasy reasons others have said. It's easy then to tell which side of the fence you need to be on. Mine is by the bed, always a gift from my mother going on about 20 years now. The price has stayed fairly the same, and the quality is consistant. If you have some left because it's "too greasy", do a favor and give it to someone. It never goes bad. I preferred it in the old tub, rather than the tube. A must for gardener's hands and luau feet. "A little dab'l do ya."
