Lush Products

Lush Products

Lush Products

I am probably one of the biggest LUSH fans that I know and have gotten my family members hooked on their products also.

I always have their products on my gift "wish-lists" that I hand out to friends, family, co-workers and even strangers if asked. 

Recently I was in their Perimeter Mall location here in Atlanta, and maybe it was because I was dressed in all black, but before I realized it, I was making suggestions to a lady that asked what would I recommend.

That got me to thinking, what great gifts these products would make for wedding attendants or that very very special guest.   Most items are also available in gift sets, or you can use their scarves and wraps to make your own gifts.

Brainstorm in place, I headed to the food court, went to their website and went to hunting for gifts ideas that I would suggest. 

In a world where often things are described as "green" or "eco-friendly", you will find that the LUSH company holds true to their policy of making products from organic products and essential oils. Products are made by hand and only vegetarian products are used. 

If you live near a LUSH store, I would suggest going inside and getting a few "try-me".   They are happy to give you "samples" of certain products.

Top row, left to right 

1.  Soft Coeur (The Honeymooner) - A massage bar made with honey, chocolate, cocoa butter and almond oils.   Who refuses honey or chocolate?

2.  Neon Love Soap - Made with bergamont, rosewood and cinnamon.

3.  Olive Branch Shower Gel - Go on, admit it, you went into bridezilla mode, and you owe someone an apology, olive branch.  This shower gel is a blend of organic olive oils, sea salt and fresh mandarin juice.  Its uplifting scent will bring peace of mind to that one person who went above and beyond in dealing with you and your pre-wedding jitters.

Bottom Row, left to right 

1.  25:43 Perfume - LUSH inventor and co-founder Mark Constantine created this perfume for his son's wedding.  A light and clean scent with layers of lime, lemongrass, vanilla, and listsea are used to create this fragrance. 

2.  Love Solid Perfume - Citrus, rose and jasmine oil.   Can be worn by men and women.  Layers of apples and cinnamon spice provide a comforting scent. 

3.   It Started With A Kiss - Lip tint, will give you a sheer ruby red pout.  Can also be worn as a cheek stain.  The LUSH rep advises that you use a lip scrub before using this product to remove any dead skin from your lips.

4.  Sex Bomb - Insert giggle.  This may be one to keep for yourself.   Even the LUSH people call it an aphrodisiac.  It contains jasmine and ylang ylang.  Soya milk will turn your water  milky and turns any bath into a opulent soak.  One of their best selling items.

St. Patrick Day Wedding

St. Patrick Day Wedding

St. Patrick Day Wedding

If you are having a St. Patrick's Day wedding, there are so many options available to keep your guest from feeling like they are watching the remake of the Leprechaun (who knew Jennifer Aniston would make it this far), by keeping the shades of green natural and within the same family.  In other words: Not all green goes together. 

Keep that in mind, and your guest will be sure to leave with a joyous memory instead of whispering, where did they get that idea from?

The four leaf clover flips flops can be used as gift favors, or the bride can slip them on to prevent ailing feet.  A small minaudiers in green sparkle will make a keepsake that can be used over and over the years. Who knows maybe someone will be encouraged to drop in a few gold coins for you.

Don't forget to include the color in your make up, but be tasteful.  30 years from now, you don't want to look at your wedding photos and say, did i really need to wear green lipstick in my wedding photos?

Spritz yourself with your favorite fragrance and think of the quote "for each petal on the shamrock, this brings a wish your way, good health, good luck and happiness for today and everyday."

Will and Jada - Favorite Couple Alert (Academy Awards - 2014)



From the look on Will's face, you'd think.....did she get dressed at home and ride in the limo to the show with him? I love the fact that he still looks at her like she takes his breath away everyday. 
 

 

My favorite couple of the night, goes to none other than Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Jada started the night in a very pretty pink Versace dress, but turned to a blush color Roberto Cavalli gown for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party.  Will wore a pair of  Berluti velvet smoking slippers with open ascot for the award show and changed into a different tux for the after-party

Will took some slack thorough the evening for his first outfit and his scruffy beard look.  I say, Big Willie been in Hollywood so long that he's earned the right to not follow all the stuffy trends.  They both ended up looking great.

The plunge in Jada's second dress gave me life and sent me right back to the treadmill.  This from a lady that had us all thinking she wouldn't fit into her Oscar dress after a friend sent her a picture that shows she's gained 8-10 lbs.
