Good Enough To Eat… June 23, 2008

                                               \

These adorable soap popsicles from Jelly Pong Pong really do look good enough to eat! With their cute appearance and fun scents, they make a great addition to your shower time. They also have saponified oils and glycerin to help cleanse and moisturize. At $7, they’re a little steeper than I ‘d like them to be, but they’re just too cute to resist!

Their different “flavors”:

  Lollichoc (fudge scented)
Looney Lemon (Lemonade scented)
The Love Stick (raspberry scented)
Neopolitan (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla scented)
Watermelon (watermelon scented, of course!)
Summer (sweet cotton scented)

 

Summer Essentials, Part 1: Bikinis and Tankinis June 9, 2008

Swim season is a nightmare for some of us. We’re not comfortable with our bodies, we don’t know where to get a cute swimsuit, we don’t want to spend much on one… the list goes on.

My suggestion: either find one swimsuit you really love and splurge, or get a basic, solid-colored bottom and various cheap tops with similar silouhettes and size to avoid tan-line fiascos.

Some of my faves:

 

 

Key: Swimsuits not shown on models available at Walmart. Swimsuits shown on models with gray backgrounds available at Kohl’s. Other swimsuits available at Delia’s.

So, I was browsing Walmart, and I came upon this cute cami in juniors:

I adore the little lacy flowers along the straps and neckline, and the print is cute and summery.

Best of all, it’s only $11.72 at Walmart.
