Relaxing Aroma For Sweet Dreams

Posted by Sophie on March 9, 2008

lavender chamomile pillow mistLike millions of Americans, I occasionally have trouble falling asleep.  I was recently searching for something that can relax me enough where I fall asleep faster and easier…without the pills!  Just a couple of days ago, I happened to walk into Bath & Body Works and noticed the Sleep Aromatherapy line which says it’s supposed to enhance your sleep through it’s soothing scent. 

There are two kinds - Lavender Chamomile and Lavender Vanilla.  I prefer the Lavender Chamomile products because the scent was more subtle than the Vanilla and the Chamomile is known for it’s relaxing effect.  So, I bought the Lavender Chamomile body lotion, pillow mist and the massage oil.  I tested the body lotion out last night and oh boy…it was very relaxing indeed…then I drifted off somehow…zzzzzzzz.  I’ve only used the lotion on my hands but that little bit of it still helped me relax enough to doze off.  I’ll use it progressively more as time goes. 

By no means will these products knock you out right away.  However, such a soothing scent will make you feel very calm and relaxed as you lie in bed which will help you to fall asleep easier & deeper.  I’m looking forward to trying out the pillow mist tonight!  If you have any trouble sleeping or just simply want to wind down after a hard day, get the Lavender Chamomile products!  Not only is the price reasonable but the stuff actually works!  Other users swear by the Sleep Aromatherapy line by Bath & Body Works where they have stopped taking sleeping pills all together.  Sweet Dreams!

Flip Video - You’ll Flip Over This

Posted by Sophie on February 12, 2008

I’m sure some of you own a Flip Video.  Lucky you!  My friend just bought herself a pink Flip Video Ultra Series and now I want to have it…badly.  These pocket sized camcorders are a must-have gadget for you hip girls.  They are simple and chic compared to those ugly & bulky video camcorders.  The Flip Video comes in a 60-minute or 30-minute version.

It’s super easy to use, ultra portable with an unbeatable price ranging from $120 to $150 depending on the specs.  Flip Ultra camcorders come in five different colors - white, black, orange, pink and green.  I like them all!

My New Favorite Fragrance - DKNY Delicious Night

Posted by Sophie on February 8, 2008

I’ve actually known about this new fragrance DKNY Delicious Night by Donna Karan since late last year but it was only available through Bloomingdale’s back then.  Now it is available pretty much everywhere including Macy’s, Sephora…etc.  This is the first fragrance I like from all the entire DKNY Delicous series.  I just happened to notice a dark violet bottle while walking around the mall today and I had to buy it and of course, I also got the body lotion and the lip gloss.  I just can’t get enough of this lovely scent…SEXY!

…opens with frozen pomelo, crushed ginger and a chilled blackberry martini accord. The heart features purple freesia, night-blooming orchids, satin jasmine petals and purple iris. The scent’s drydown is of molten amber, incense, myrrh extract, patchouli and velvet vetiver.

This fragrance reminds me of Kors by Michael Kors which is another favorite of mine.  If you are into sexy, modern yet exotic scents that are not too flowery or sweet, Delicious Night is the must-have scent for sure.  This fragrance truly depicts the busy night life of NYC - sparkling, mesmerizing and irresistable just as the ad campaign shows.  Jessica Stam is also the perfect model for the scent because somehow she really embodies the perfume very well.

Get Megan Fox’s gorgeous eyelashes

Posted by Sophie on December 7, 2007

Megan Fox is a beautiful celeb without a doubt.  She reminds me of Angelina Jolie.  The first thing that stands out about Megan is her mesmerizing eyes and those long sexy eyelashes…super HOT!  Yes, you can always get fake lashes but still need a great mascara to help you get those glamorous eyelashes.  My favorite mascara so far is Benefit BadGal Lash - fake lashes in a tube!  

A big fat wand will give you dramatic fancy eyelashes instantly!  (With any mascara, make sure to clean your eyelids and under the eyes then press lightly with powder before applying to prevent smudging at the end of the day)
