The Elixir of Love

Every single year right around the holidays I turn into this weirdly-mushy-lovey-dovey-sentimental woman who cries at just about everything.   I get sucked into cheesy Christmas special made-for-tv-movies, I find myself humming Christmas songs all day long and the very sight of children waiting in line to meet Santa at the mall makes me break down in tears (super embarrassing especially since the dude working at the Hickory Farm cart was watching me the whole time).  I guess because I'm just so loving during this month, I went bonkers for the Elixir of Love No. 1 Body Creme by Caswell-Massey and have deemed it my personal "it" gift for all my friends.  The lotion is super-hydrating and smells so lovely you'll want to keep sniffing yourself (or positioning yourself so others can sniff you).  And it's not just me who thinks this is the most delightful scent - the box even says it's the "original potion for love everlasting."  Contains Jasmine, Lavender, Passionflower, Artemisia absinthium and Egyptian Musk - it's a scent that's not overpowering at all, but leaves a very slight, beautiful fragrance behind.  The creme, while nice and thick sinks right into skin without even a hint of greasiness.  Honestly, this is the best gift ever and I even bought one for myself... well... because the woman who broke down in front of mall Santa deserves a pick-me-up.

Sea Mist For Your Body

The air is hot and the men are walking around shirtless which means the summer has officially arrived.  And with all the heat comes a pretty miserable existance if you're a drama-queen like myself.  To counteract my disgusting ability to over-sweat, I have become a huge fan of Caswell Massey's Sea Spray Mist.  It's a wonderful body mist that smells like sea air and keeps your skin smelling fresh all day long - even in the dead of summer.  I actually think it's pretty cheap ($13.50) for a huge bottle that will last you months.  You can even use it to freshen up your linens before you drift off into a deep air-conditioned slumber, or as a room spray.  I am especially fond of keeping it in the fridge and spraying it on myself after being outside in the heat.  Nothing says refreshing like a cold sea mist.  They also make bath salts and lotions so you can really take in the ocean without leaving your bathroom.  Seems like a better plan to stay home instead of fighting the crowds with the obnoxious kids to try and seize the perfect beach spot in the blazing sunshine.

In love with Lotion

Ah, if you could bottle up love, this would be the scent.  Delicate, yet alluring.  Sensitive, great sense of humor with a chiselled body – I digress…  This hand cream is wonderful.  The scent is magnificent and the cream goes into your skin instantly with no greasy or sticky after-feel.  The scent also lasts through hand washings which is appealing.  The packaging is adorable, too, with blue scrolled lettering on a yellow tube.  At $10.00 for a small tube, it’s definitely on the higher-priced end, but it’s well worth it.  Don’t even get me started on the fabulous matching body cream.  Now, about that hot, sensitive man with the sense of humor?!
