This year, make a list of New Year’s Resolutions that you not only CAN keep but will enjoy keeping. Treat yourself to beauty, relaxation and luxury.
1. Resolve to exfoliate weekly at least. Get yourself a lush and aromatic scrub that clears pores, lifts dead skin cells and polishes skin and glow, glow, glow in 2007.
2. Resolve to fight lines and wrinkles before they start by moisturizing daily.
3. Resolve to treat yourself to a deliciously long soak in a warm bath once a week. Whether you use bath salts, a bath bomb or a foaming bath oil, make it a total experience. Play mood-setting music, burn scented candles, make it your time to unwind from the hectic pace of everyday life.
4. Get a makeover. Its a great way to try out a new look and discover new colors that you never knew would look great on you.
5. Update your hairstyle. If you’re bold enough, try a new cut or style. Look through magazines and on the net to see what cuts might suit your face and lifestyle. If you’re timid or like your hair the length it is, add some accessories to dress it up. Hairsticks, decorative hair pins and jeweled ponytail holders are a few of the ways to give hair some pizazz.
6. Get a professional manicure even if you usually do your own nails. It’s a great help to have them professionally shaped or try some nail tips. Go bold with a little nail art. You won’t believe the mood lift you get with a shiny coat of nail polish.
7. Check out our Beauty Store for great deals on some of the latest and best personal care products for a fragrant and gorgeous new year.
Happy New Year!

Well, it’s Wednesday and time again for my list of perfumes I would buy just to get the bottle. Here’s a few more bottles that have caught my eye:

It’s Wednesday. We are halfway through the work week, and if you are like me, needing a break. So I am taking one today and I am not going to talk about the best way to apply eyeliner or the newest advances in lipstick. Today I am going to tell you about my secret obsession: perfume bottles.
I am definitely the kind who might buy a perfume just for the pleasure of having the bottle sit upon my shelf or dressing table. I seldom indulge because collecting perfume bottles could turn into an expensive habit especially if you find you don’t care for the fragrance they contain.
Perfume designers put just as much creative energy into the packaging of their product as they do the scent itself. Some perfume bottles could be considered works of art. For instance, how about Dali Style by Salvadore Dali?
Kingdom by Alexander McQueen, with its crystal heart turned upside-down makes a statement all its own.
I love the sporty and fun patterns of the Burberrys Brit perfumes - set on a blocky bottle they tell you: this fragrance is for someone adventurous and fun, but grounded and practical. I like the Burberry Brit Red and Burberry Brit Gold bottles too.
Angel by Thierry Mugler is elegant and delicate, a crystalline object from the heavens. Choosing just one of Thierry Mugler’s bottles would be a problem, they are all so interesting in their design.
These are my yearnings for this morning. I wonder if Santa is reading this?

It’s nearly the weekend. The hustle and bustle of the week with its stresses and deadliines is finally going to be over and give way to the hustle and bustle of the weekend. If you are like me, you have your weekend schedule nearly as full as your weekday one. You have planned both practical and recreational activities enough to more than fill those two days.
But somewhere in there, don’t forget to allot a little “me” time. What better way to pamper yourself than a long and luxurious bubble bath?
Make it more than just a bath, make it a total relaxation experience. Turn on some soothing music, light a candle and fill your tub with something that will delight your senses and rejuvenate your skin and your spirit.
Aveeno’s Stress Relief Foaming Bath with Natural Colloidal Oatmeal contains Lavender and Chamomile to calm and relax while it cleanses and moisturizes dry skin. Aveeno’s formula has been clinically proven to calm and relax and improve your well-being.
