February Favorites

Hey everyone! It's time for February Favorites. I've got some tried and true, plus some brand new favorites for you to check out!

1. The Aveda Institute 
I love this place. You get great service from cut to color to highlights in a professional space, but performed by students either graduating in 6 months (mid-level) or 3 months (master level). The prices are unbelievable and they really listen to what you're looking to do and make the magic happen. Of course, educators check-in and make sure things are running smoothly, but I've yet to encounter a problem.I was very happy with the price and the service. Definitely recommend!

2. AdvoCare SYS Day
I love a good day cream. One that hydrates without making skin feel greasy, has ingredients that are good for the skin, and can help keep wrinkles at bay. AdvoCare's SYS Day lives up to it's name Supplement Your Skin. Get yours here.

3. Nivea's In-Shower Moisturizer
Ok, I was a little skeptical at first. I have super dry skin in the winter. Despite all my efforts to moisturize, I always ended up disappointed. But when I saw the commercial for this new product, I had to hunt it down. They have 3 versions, and I went ahead and got the one for very dry skin. After you cleanse your body, you rub this on the areas you want extra moisture (for me, arms and legs) and then rinse off, pat dry and go. It works! I could definitely tell the day of the shower, but also the next day. I love it. I think it will be great in the warmer months, too. You can find it in the lotion aisle.

That's it for now, but don't forget I'll have a great eco-beauty spread in the next issue of Atlanta Social Season - Spring issue!

Foot Wash!

Ok, as many of you may know, I love flip flops. And with that love comes stinky feet. Imagine my joy and surprise to be gifted this handy gadget: 

 It's a foot washer for the shower! You just lather up your toesies and stick it in the little flip flip foot wash and they come out smelling great and looking even better. Genious! Now if they only made something that easily removed the callouses on the bottom of feet caused by solely wearing flip flops. Progress people!

Holiday Treats

If you're like me, this time of year is a whirlwind of tempting treats that will head straight to your thighs. I surely can't afford any extra padding on my gams, and yet, I have such a sweet tooth for cookies and sweets during the holidays.

Lucky for me, and you; I've found a substitute that's calorie free and just as sweet! Philosophy has created a fabulous set of shower gels for The Cookie Exchange. Nestled inside are 4 fabulous cookie inspired treats: Lemon Cookie, Oatmeal Raisin, Coconut Macaroon and Chocolate Chip. The best part? They are all 3 in 1's and can be used as shower gel, shampoo and bubble bath!
