May Is A Big Month For Beauty

Happy May Day! We have two big things going on this month - first, and most important to your health - it is Skin Cancer Awareness Month. Second, and also relatively important to your health, is Mother’s Day. Yeah! I will get into a lot more about Skin Cancer Awareness later on, but I have Mothers Day on my mind at the moment. Sadly, I usually ask for tech stuff for Mother’s Day (and will likely do the same this year, along with a “day off” - yeah right), but I really have this on the brain, hardcore:
This is Kiehl’s Gardenia collection - a limited time only collection. Why *oh why* did I not get this when I was at Kiehl’s last month? Probably because it wasn’t there yet. Gardenia is, bar none, my very favorite fragrance. My gardenia bush outside is covered in buds, and I salivate every time I look at it. I can hardly wait for the flowers to open - the smell is simply to-die-for. Ok ok, back to the products.
There are three new products in Kiehl’s line, Gardenia Hand & Body Lotion ($19.50), Gardenia Liquid Body Cleanser ($15.50) and Gardenia candle (I am *so* getting this - $28). I really don’t have to say more about this - it is Kiehl’s, and a great product (can you say, 1851??), with an amazing scent. What else do you need? Ah, gift wrap. If you are lucky enough to be near a Kiehl’s store, they will help you with that too. I have seen the operation, it is lovely, organized and they will take GOOD care of you back there in the gift department. Let me know if you get this - I am dying to know how great it smells. Meanwhile, I’m ordering a candle (or 5) - don’t forget this is limited edition and will likely sell out before long. I can buy myself Mother’s Day gifts, right? :)

I usually end up asking for tech stuff as well. :) I’m trying to decide what type of “pampering” thing I want this year because I’m full up on the techie gadgets at the moment. This one is going to make the short list–thanks!

This is a great Mom’s Day gift idea. I love gardenia! I wish the collection wasn’t so expensive though. I found a l’Occitane hand cream collection on Amazon for only $25. I think I’m going to go that route.
I did notice a great collection on Kiehl’s site for new mom’s though. $125, but it would be a great group gift. I love Kiehl’s!

Wow! My mother loves gardenias and have them everywhere in her flower garden. This would be a great Mother’s day gift. Thanks for the post!

So I’m actually commenting about a blog you made 2 years ago I would have left this there but I wasn’t really sure how likely it was you’d see it.
It’s about the Parissa quick and easy wax strips. I was wondering if you knew how the stacked up to the veet ready to use wax strips. Which I tried to today and sucked leaving hair behind which I then read people commenting that they had the same result. So now I’m suck between trying a sugar or parissa’ quick and easy strips.
Have an opinion? Leave a comment:
