I am always looking for a place to buy all of the products I like.  One place I love to shop at is FragranceNet.com they have all kinds of products perfect for yourself or for gifts.  IMG_0583When I first thought of FragranceNet.com I thought that it was all about Fragrances.   They do have lots and lots of fragrance but they have skin and hair care products, makeup, aromatherapy and candles.

I really love this Northern Lights Cashmere Vanilla Candle – it looks great and it smells great. This amber warmed vanilla candle with smooth cashmere scents will be sure to relax you in a snap. Northern Lights Candle, Cashmere Vanilla Scented is in a hand-blown glass in metallic hues finished with a shimmering gold interior with a brass lid and gift box. Not only does it smell great but I love the container it is in!  So pretty!

estee lauderI also found some Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Mask ($45.99 on FragranceNet.com): Give yourself that 10 minute beauty pick-me-up you need. Estee Lauder Stress Relief Eye Masks are suitable for all skin types. They greatly reduce puffiness and other signs of fatigue, effectively improve the skin hydration level up to 40%, and they help soothe the skin while moisturizing, leaving the skin looking more hydrated and smooth. I like how relaxing it is to lay down with the eye mask on – 10 minutes and you are ready to go!

 

Another product I love is the Moroccanoil Intense Hydrating Mask ($39.99, FragranceNet.com): Treat yourself  to a quick, revivingm oil five-minute hair mask. Moroccanoil® Intense Hydrating Mask is a high-performance, rich and creamy deep conditioner formulated for medium to thick, dry hair. Infused with antioxidant-rich argan oil and nourishing ingredients, it hydrates and conditions while dramatically improving hair’s texture, elasticity, shine and manageability. It is great for my long curly hair and leaves it looking soft and silky.  I use it a couple of times a week to keep it looking great!

You can find lots more at FragranceNet.com that will keep you looking and feeling beautiful!

IMG_0576THE QUICK SIX FIX by Stuart O’Keeffe (March 2016)

https://www.harpercollins.com/9780062419750/the-quick-six-fix

Stuart O’Keeffe grew up in Ireland cooking alongside his mother and learning how to make fresh home-cooked meals made with more love than labor. By working efficiently, keeping the kitchen space clean and cooking with minimal yet flavorful ingredients, Stuart believes that anyone can make great meals fast—with just six key ingredients. A professional and celebrity chef, Stuart brings his philosophy to everyone’s kitchen in his first cookbook and includes helpful tips and reminders along the way. In THE QUICK SIX FIX, Stuart begins with the pantry essentials and tools readers will need to whip up a range of tasty dishes at a moment’s notice. Teaching readers how to make smart shortcuts, like pairing key store-bought items with homemade ingredients, Stuart demonstrates how to cut kitchen time, save money, and get out of the kitchen in thirty minutes or less.

Stuart believes that fewer ingredients afford higher quality. With an inventive menu and meal-planning sections filled with wholesome shareable dishes—plenty of vegetarian options too—plus more than seventy-five full color photos,  THE QUICK SIX FIX is the must-have tool for creating easy-to-make, great-tasting dishes that are sure to wow the ones we love.

My Review:

I do love cookbooks and here is one that makes making dinner a snap.  The Quick Six Fix is great with 6 ingredients, 6 minutes prep and 6 minutes clean up.  I found a number of great sounding recipes that I want to add to my meal plan. One of the recipes I think that sounds really good is the Chicken Breasts with basil lemon sauce – it is easy and only one skillet to make a meal what could be better?

I also like all the pictures in the book – the food looks great and are something I would make.  I also like all the tips on making your time in the kitchen shorter!  You can find The Quick Six Fix at your favorite book store or HERE.

This time of year I am looking at getting my hands and feet looking there best for the summer.  Here is a great way to do it at home and treat yourself to a day of beauty.


1)    Remove all nail polish with a gentle polish remover
2)    Begin by sloughing off winter’s dead and dry skin with a homemade sugar scrub (salt scrubs can be drying or irritating) made of sugar, a few drops of vegetable glycerin and a few drops of an uplifting essential oil such as peppermint or rosemary. 
3)    Gently rub hands together to scrub away dullness. Use a wash cloth to rub the scrub into your feet. Remove scrub with a warm wet cloth.
4)    Next, Skyy tells consumers to not soak fingers or feet in water. By doing this you are actually drawing the moisture OUT of your skin
5)    Instead, heat up 4 plastic baggies full of a thick, luxurious cream and add a few drops of an invigorating essential oil such as tangerine, ylang ylang, or chamomile, they all work great.  Heat until very warm but not too hot.  Hands and feet need only need about 2 minutes in bags for moisture to penetrate to the skin. 
6)    Remove hands and feet from bag and massage cream into skin, wiping off any excess
7)    Make sure there is no cream on nails before applying polish.


If you have really dry skin, Skyy recommends using a hand scrub to exfoliate skin before applying the hot cream treatment. One that Skyy really likes is Lauren B. Beauty’s Polishing Hand Scrub, which is a blend of super-fine oil beads, amino acids, and antioxidants such as Aloe Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil and Vitamin E to brighten, soothe, heal chapping and protect against environmental damage.

I have some of the Lauren B. Beauty’s Polishing Hand Scrub and I love it.  It is easy to use I just rub it into my hands and nails.  It helps soften my skin and soften my rough cuticles.  I love it and use it once a day to keep my hands looking good! It makes my hands look younger too.

You can find Lauren B. Beauty’s Polishing Hand Scrub HERE.

I found these soap-infusion sponges that are  a new way to cleanse. The Soap-Infused Body Bar is a 3-in-1 soap, washcloth and loofah, formulated with hydrating and soothing oils, including coconut, soybean and sunflower oil.  What I really liked about these soap-infused sponges is that they are like a loofah and help get rid of dead skin. The Soap-Infused Body Bar exfoliate your skin cells for a rejuvenated look.

The sponges are light and contain all-natural botanical cleansers (made with shea butter, jojoba, and cocoa butter). There is not a ton of lather just enough to help you feel clean.  I like that it is non-toxic foam and biodegradable cleanser. With the sponges being so light they dry fast so no bacterial growth.

It is available in Citrus Splash, Lavender Mist and Eucalyptus Breeze for $5.99 you can find it HERE.

IMG_0570Rex went to a movie with his friend Billy last night so I took advantage of having the night to my self and treated myself to a soothing face mask.  This BioRepublic Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber Mask is  an ultra-soothing sheet mask infused with natural cucumber extract, plant collagen and vitamin E.  It helps Soothes stressed skin and improves complexion, tightens pores and reduces the appearance of fine lines, and creates calm, rejuvenated, spring-fresh skin.

I put my mask in the freezer for about twenty minutes so it was nice and cold when I put it on my face.  I first washed my face – then I opened the package and unfolded the mask and spread it on my face.  I left it on my face for 20 minutes.  Then you remove the spa mask – there will be excess product on your face that you just tap into your skin.  I love how hydrated my skin felt when I was done and this mask had a great fresh cucumber smell.

You can get these BioRepublic Cucumber Breeze Soothing Fiber Mask to treat yourself to a spa at home for at a Price of $4.99 per mask / $14.95 for a set of 3 masks / $35.99 for a for a set of 8 masks / $44.95 for a set of 10 masks, available at select Bloomingdales’ locations and online via www.biorepublic.com.

LOSE WEIGHT BY EATING by Audrey Johns (April 2016)

Like many Americans, Audrey Johns struggled with fad diets and constant weight gain. Nearing the three-hundred-pound mark, she was eating under 1,000 calories per day of frozen “diet” meals and still gaining weight. After trying every major diet out there (and some scary ones too!), Audrey was left with no lasting results and more broke than ever. That’s when she decided to go back to the basics. She taught herself how to cook and transformed her favorite foods into skinny versions. After only a year of eating her new skinny recipes, she went from a size 24 to a size 4, losing over 150 pounds in 11 months. LOSE WEIGHT BY EATING takes more than 130 recipes that are typically full of unhealthy processed foods and empty calories—recipes we simply shouldn’t eat every day—and creates skinny versions.

With fewer than 500 calories per serving that can actually help readers lose weight, she shows readers how to lose weight without giving up everyday family staples, such as pasta, scones, fried chicken, nachos, meatloaf, cookies, and so much more. A helpful and accessible diet and cookbook, LOSE WEIGHT BY EATING is full of guilt-free, low-calorie, unprocessed versions of all your favorite foods that are also picky-kid-friendly and husband-approved. With her new book, Audrey wants to help others who struggle with their weight or cooking skills to show that with a little kitchen confidence, you can change your life, your body, and your health.

My Review:

I really liked Lose Weight By Eating.  One of the things I look for in a cookbook is pictures and this one had lots of great pictures.  I am also trying to lose weight as you know from reading my blog so I love to find new recipes.  Lose Weight By Eating is all about eating clean and not using processed foods which I really like.  I am going to incorporate a number of the recipes into my eating plan. Audrey Johns the author lost about 150 pounds eating clean and following these recipes.  The nice thing is she provides lots of tips and also menu plans.

Some of the recipes I am going to try are the pizza recipes – there is an easy to make pizza crust and a number of different ideas for topping like a Hawaiian Pizza, Cowboy Pizza and a Pear Rosemary and Goat Cheese Pizza they all sound yummy to me!

You can find Lose Weight By Eating at your favorite book store or HERE.

lemon icing panettone

I love Master Chef and here is Chef Luca Manfè winner of season 4 sharing his recipe for Lemon Icing Panettone.  You can watch the video HERE.   It is a deliciously decadent, but most importantly simple Lemon Icing Bauli Panettone.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups icing sugar
  • 1/3 cup of water
  • ½ lemon juice
  • Bauli Panettone

Directions:

  1. In a bowl, thoroughly sift the icing sugar. Gradually add the warm water.
  2. Stir vigorously by adding a few drops of lemon juice: you can use a spoon or spatula.
  3. The frosting should have a fairly smooth consistency.
    For a more liquid consistency, add more warm water.
    (Otherwise just add more powdered sugar.)

Chef Luca Manfe

Here is a bit more about Chef Luca Manfè ~ who has been in the restaurant business since he was 16 years old, working in a pub in his small hometown in Northeast Italy. When he turned 21, he started to travel the world, working in Italy, Australia, Florida, and New York.  He had the privilege and honor to work with great chefs, experiencing ingredients and techniques from different cuisines. Ultimately, he landed in New York City, in pursuit of the American dream.  Fast forward ten years, and Luca has certainly achieved what he set out to accomplish. Today, Luca is a successful cookbook author, releasing his first cookbook, “My Italian Kitchen,” in May, 2014.  He also runs a small catering company called “Dinner with Luca,” and serves as brand ambassador for Italian confectionary company, Bauli. Luca is the first male (and non-American) to win the title of MasterChef USA.

IMG_0552(1)Everyone needs a Little Black Dress. Here is Avon’s Little Black Dress – it is the perfect embodiment of classic elegance.  The Little Black Dress is the first in a new collection designed for the woman who appreciates the finer things in life. The scent debuts in a midnight-black cap with peek-a-boo pump and black backed bottle featuring accents in shimmering gold. prod_1186598_xl

Not only is the bottle pretty but it smells wonderful too.   It has sparkling citrus notes of fresh Italian lemon oil, sourced from the finest lemon groves in Italy. The scent develops to reveal a delicate floral heart of exotic white jasmine essence, prized for its sensual and intoxicating aroma. Warm and captivating sandalwood finishes the scent, with deeply creamy, woody notes.

I really love the scent – it makes me feel very feminine when I wear it.  I think the scent is pretty light and it lingers for a long time without having to reapply it.  I have gotten many complements when I have used it.  It is perfect for a night on the town just like a little black dress!  You can wear it anytime you need to feel a little more sexy!

You can find Little Black Dress on HERE on Avon.com or from your Avon Representative.
