A beauty product that will light you up

Ianthe Kabakov, creator of oWp (Objects with Purpose), has created a candle with several purposes.

While all of her candles smell amazing, they can also be used as soothing massage oils/body butter when warm and solid perfumes when cooled.

The candles are made from 100% organic, non GMO, bio-degradable, pesticide free, ecologically sound, socially just, 100% certified and completely sustainable coconut butter. The coconut butter allows the candle to burn at a low temperature, which also enhances each candle's life span. Sounds too good to be true, right?

oWp candles are made in Los Angeles and can be found in several boutiques including Fred Segal's Zero Minus Plus in Santa Monica, California. They can also be purchased online. These are a great gift idea for women and men who enjoy relaxation and moisturizing body butters and oils.

Cute and Flirty Athletic Wear

Summer is just around the corner, so as difficult as it may be to some, it's time to get back to the gym and work on that bikini body. A fun way to motivate yourself to get to the gym, is by looking cute in new athletic wear.

Here is some cute workout gear I've come across recently:

Lululemon Run:Distance Tank in Flush.

Lululemon Inner Strength Tank in Black.

Just as Lululemon isn't only for yogies, Roxy isn't only for surfers:

All Athletix - Roxy
Roxy In It To Win It Sports Bra in White.

Roxy Biker Chic Shorts in Black.

Argan Oil - The New Beauty Queen


There's a new oil in town, so clear out your drawers, shelves, showers, and cabinets, and make room for Argan Oil. Argan Oil is extracted from the Argan Tree in the vast deserts of Morocco. It has been used by Moroccan women for hundreds of years, providing them with beautiful glowing complexions. The oil is rich in Vitamin E & essential fatty acids, adding beneficial anti-aging properties.

Argan Oil also helps and prevents dehydration, inflammation, hyper-pigmen
tation, and sebum production. Josie Maran's Organic Argan Oil To Go should be in every girl's makeup bag. The oil is a quick fix for dryness, scarring, and fine lines, and it's only $14 online and at stores like Sephora. Moroccanoil®, the newest haircare craze, offers shampoos, conditioners, oils, and other products that are my current haircare faves. Argan Oil molecules in the products work because they are so small they easily enter the hair follicle to moisturize. Argan Oil also acts as a powerful antioxidant and UV protector, it is rich in vitamins and natural elements that strengthen the hair, including Vitamin F (Omega 6), Vitamin A to improve elasticity, Vitamin E to protect against free-radicals, and Phenols to shield against environmental stressors like UV rays and air pollutants.

Do yourself a favor and run to the nearest Sephora for some Argan Oil skincare and then head over to a salon that sells Moroccanoil. You won't be disappointed.

Is the Patricia Wexler Acnescription line being discontinued?


I recently heard rumors that Bath & Body Works Patricia Wexler Acnescription line was being discontinued. Great news - they just emailed me back saying it's not being discontinued!

They mentioned it is currently available online and that other products from her are still available in stores. This might mean they're no longer selling the Acnescription line in stores, but at least it's not retiring! Yay!
