Oh this is Ladies Night!!!

Here's another great product and this one is a manicure at your fingers tips....literally. I also saw this great find at the Shecky's event on November 19 in Miami.

According to the company website, Lorie Riley, who is a former skincare specialist began to make scrubs, salts and lotions in the back room of her salon. She uses only the finest ingredients to make the products and makes sure that they are all natural. Customers started begging her to take the concoctions home and that is how Bath By Riley was born!

I tried their manicure scrub also known as Hand Candies at the event and this too left my hands soft, moist and my cuticles shiny. It felt like a mini-manicure. The minute I tried it, I thought of it as being great gifts for Ladies Night out events, Bachelorette parties, stocking stuffers, gift bags and also a quick hand scrub if needed at the office before heading on out for the happy hour. So many uses for the hand candies!! And an added bonus is they come in candy wrappers so you literally can drop them in your purse or in a gift bag and go. Sorry everyone, you cannot eat these lovely scents.

They range in scents from Vanilla Dream to Grapefruit cocktail (my favorite). You can purchase 20 assorted candies for $20 or $2 each scent. Also, get this you can get free shipping on orders over $50! So whether you are interested in the hand candies, sugar scrubs or fizzles, you can't go wrong. The scents are so wonderful, but sadly you cant eat these candies.

For all those curious about the ingredients in hand candies, here they are:

Sodium chloride (sea salt), a combination of one or more of the following butters and oils: Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Seed Butter, Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea Butter), Hydrogenated Persea gratissima (Avocado) Seed Oil, Mangifera indica (Mango) Seed Butter, fragrance and color.

All natural products!

They also have an assortment of other products available such as the Sugar Scrub and Fizzles but I was only able to try the hand candies. Lorie Riley (President of Bath by Riley) also said that the hand candies can also be used as a mini-scrub in the shower. HMMMMMMM, got me thinking of using it after my spinning classes at the gym.


You can purchase these lovely candies at www.bathbyriley.com or hopefully at a Shecky's event near you.

Enjoy!

Soooo Yummmyyyyy

Ladies and Gentlemen!

These candles are the truth! I bought this great accessory at the Shecky's Accessory and Fashion Expo on November 19. I had to try these candles out before I posted them on this blog. These candles are phe-no-me-nal!

Here is a quick description of the candles provided by the maker:

" Our soy candles are made using 100% pure soy...not paraffin wax. Their delicious fragrance will burn cleanly for up to 80 hours without smoke or soot. Once the candle liquefies you can dip your fingers into the wax (don't worry the soy is only slightly warmer than body temperature) and use the oil as a mosturizing protein rub; to keep hands, feet, cuticles and elbows soft & luxurious; like a personal spa experience in the comfort of your home. When you have completely burned out your candle, clean out the glass with soap and warm water and use it as a tumbler to serve your favorite drinks."

Ok, everyone I know what you're thinking, this can not be true. Well it is! I lighted the candle like the instructions said and waited for it to melt. Of course, I was a little skeptical that I could rub my feet with it and it wouldn't have a wax residue but LADIESSSSSS AND GENTLMEN I THINK I FOUND THE BEST ACCESSORY EVER!

Here are the things it said it could do and I tested:

Smells great (CHECK!)
Melts into an oil (CHECK!)
Use oil to rub on feet, hands, and elbows (CHECK!) - please put out the candle before dipping your fingers into the oil.
Clean glass and reuse (CHECK!) -I felt like I was saving the planet at the same time, my place smelled delicious!

I bought the following scents lotus flower and peace of mind. I have used the lotus flower scent so far and I have received compliments when I went out about what scent I was wearing. LOL! I so wanted to say candle wax but decided against it and told them about the candle and its green use.

So check it out Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a great stocking stuffer for the holidays or just to freshen up your place a bit. It is not only decorative and smells good but it also has multiple uses and you can't go wrong with the price.

It currently goes for $34 for the candles in the glass but if you just want to sample it before taking the leap, you can try the tins that range in size from 2oz to 8oz and price from $6 to $14.

You can get these lovely candles at www.Soy-Delicious.com

Shecky's

Hey Ladies!!

Sorry been so late in updating my blog. I have been busy with other projects under way but I attended Shecky's fashion and jewelry show in Miami, Florida on November 19,2009. Ladies if this fashion and jewelry expo is in your town, don't walk, run to the nearest expo!

It was such a great experience from beginning to end. They had everything from local accessory designers to clothing designers; with most of them having discounted specials.

I got a few things, which I will tell you more about in another post and also feature the designer. Just to name a few, I got a candle that when it melts also turns into massaging oil!!!! And I also got a 32 inch chain with a leaf that was dipped in 24 kt gold. Yeah, I know sounds all exciting.

Plus besides the cool accesories and clothing designs at the event, they also had a goodie bag with practically every essential a woman needs. It had shampoos, shaving creams, shavers, lotions, coupons, and many more for only $12.50.

Also, if you're a drinker, they also had complimentary cocktails/martinis for the event.

It was a great night!

Here are the upcoming cities:

Studded!!!

Marvel-SteveMadden.com ($129.95)

GoJane.com ($22.10)

While traveling the past few weeks, I noticed a trend coming out just in time for the fall! Studded heels and booties!! So exciting! Now your shoes are wearing jewelry!! These studded shoes are a great accessory for the fall especially when you start wearing coats and scarves and the only thing you can see are your feet. This way your feet can express your style as much as your ears! But ladies please! DO NOT GET CRAZY WITH buying the studded shoes and all of your sudden your feet look like your little sister, cousin, niece or daughter bedazzled your shoes!

They do of course all range in price and as you can see it's all about the preference of what statement you would like to say. I included the open-toe heel for all my fashionistas in the warmer climate areas like me and really don't know anymore what snow looks like! and the booties for my fashionistas that keep it rocking through the winter!

What do you think of this new trend? Is it something you would rock for the fall? Do you think it is a here now and gone tomorrow trend or will it last forever like tatoos?
