It's been a tough week. We know holiday shopping can make you exhasted. And, you've been getting ready for those inlaws who are coming in on Saturday ("Why did I agree for them to come so early?" you're asking yourself as you make the bed just the way they like it). But you know inside that as the holiday approaches, it won't matter about the bed. It won't matter about having just the right number of pillows on the bed, either. It will be about spending time with family. Until then, though, you need to try to keep the stress level to a minimum and take some time for yourself (if that's possible). We found some great items that can help you de-stress and relax:

Item #1: Lavender Facial Cream. Doesn't the name of that just make you want to go get some right now? Let your face feel rejuvenated after you apply this yummy stuff day and night. It includes Hemp Seed oil and Shea Butter to help revive your beautiful skin. $14 for 2 oz. Find it here: http://www.bidwellbotanicals.com/lavender-facial-cream.html

Item #2: Essence of Australia Soap. Want to go down under, mate? With this refreshing soap, you can do just that. After you've been baking for hours, wash your hands with some of this soap to immediatly get rid of that onion or garlic smell or residue. Southwest BodyWorks says this about the soap: " The aroma captures the essence of fresh cut lemons with a touch of herbal accent." Get this bar for a gift or for yourself for only $5 here: http://swbwholesales.com/ckshop.php?item=58&ret=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.swbwholesales.com%2Fckshop.php%3Fpage%3D1%26category%3D3

Item #3: Mmm Mmm! From one of my favorite websites comes our last item for today: Naughty Or Nice? Candy Cane Bath Scrubbies!! I couldn't say it better myself: "Filled with sweet candy cane, smoothing cocoa butter, soothing oats and creamy milk, Naughty or Nice? will make you this holiday's shining star because it's also hand-dipped in glorious glitter that reminds us of itsy-bitsy diamonds." Doesn't that just make you crave some of this lovely stuff?? Make sure you run, not walk to Hella Good to buy these because they are one of a kind and once they're gone, they're gone! At $8 a pop, don't just get one! Get some for your BFFs, too! Find them here: http://www.hellagoodproducts.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=12

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

2005-12-04T12:23:00.000-08:00

Short post today, but I thought some was better than none, right? I LOVE this funky purse from Weezies! The pink fabric lined with colorful apples really stands out on the purple. The textured stiching adds the best finishing touches. This tree canvas tote is perfect for a day at the mall, but is big enough to lug books into the library for studing. $30 is totally worth this hot bag that all your friends will love!

Juice Clock. Can you imagine? Yes, this is for those organic, recycle, "protect the earth" people...or just anyone who thinks it's cool. It is made from recycled HDPE (don't ask me what that is; I think that it's like recycled juice cans, though) and comes in orange, lemon or grapefruit. Take your pick. $45 might seem like a lot for something recycled, but hey, look at the awesome lines and designs...ahhh, i can just see it on my kitchen wall right now!
