*RejuvaWand Update*

In my last update I mentioned the Rejuva Revitalizing Skincare Program that you can use along with the Rejuvawand. Today I'm going to talk about the RejuvaCleanse.

The site says "RejuvaCleanse is a mild, nourishing cleanser that contains healing aloe and beneficial antioxidants. It can be safely used twice a day on dry, oily or normal skin. RejuvaCleanse is gentle and hydrating, and may also be used to remove makeup."

I didn't use it to remove my makeup, but I did use it to cleanse my face before and after my wand session. It didn't dry out my skin and it had a very mild fragrance. You get 4oz for $18 fromRejuvaWand.com

Don't let other people stress you out, eat what you want and enjoy yourself...

I hope everyone's holiday is family drama free and filled with fabulous food!

I found this gif searching for holiday images and it made me laugh out loud. It's so true and why I have cats:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

My work week is over..wheee!



I'm already getting stressed out and the real holiday rush hasn’t even started yet. I am so happy to have the rest of the week off.

What I really need is some spa time and this set from Natty Products would hit the spot. It's their Pamper Me Pretty Spa Kit. And as the site says it has "everything you need to polish, detoxify, nourish, and hydrate".

You get a 13 oz. Bath Powder, a 13 oz. Sugar Scrub, a 8 oz. Body Souffle Cream, a 8 oz. Bath & Body Wash and a 8 oz. Bath & Body Oil. You even get a bath pouf. It's $105, but until November 26, 2007 just use the code TURKEY at checkout to get 30% off your entire purchase.

Holiday Madness is almost here...



It's almost time.. for Lush Holiday bath bombs. I still have two holiday bombs left from last year from the bunch I bought. I stopped using them after they caused one bath catastrophe after another. Stains, glitter, paper...grrrr.

The new (and old) holiday bombs are up on the Lush site. These bombs would look amazing as decoration on a platter as a holiday centerpiece. Check out the Lush Pud to the right. Isn't it cute? Sure it is. Just proceed to your tub with caution.




*RejuvaWand Update*

So far, so good. I'm still worried by the amount of Rejuva Gel I need to use to get a comfortable treatment. The manual recommends a dime size amount for each area to be treated. Ha! Not bloody likely. I'm gonna try to conserve it, but, I don't know...

I was still using my old skin care system ( wash, moisturizer) when I started with the wand but now I'm all out. I was given the "Rejuva Revitalizing Skincare Program" with the wand so I'm going to give it a try. More info on that in the next update.

Fall has only just begun...



I've just begun to get into the whole "Fall" vibe. I've decided to have my own personal Fall until Thanksgiving since most of September and October was 80 degrees and sunny here in Chicago. It's hard to get excited about new sweaters and wool suits when you can still get away with tank tops and flip flops. October is dominated by Halloween decor (at least it is in my house), so I've just started to "fall into Fall".

Unfortunately, most retail stores are ruining my buzz by thrusting Xmas trees, mistletoe and giftwrap in my face. What happened to holiday shopping starting the day after Thanksgiving? I think I'm just bitter because I don't feel like I've had an enough time to ease into the usual end of the year madness. Weather sets the tone for me, it always has, and the super hot September and October we experienced had me all out of wack. I couldn't live where it was always hot or always cold, I'd become psychotic.

Tha's enough complaining for one day:) Happy Fall everyone!



The holidays are coming and so is the HSSC Holiday Boutique!
