Musings of a Muse

I gotta say I’m always a little surprised that my sister doesn’t glide across the room when she walks. The girl applies body cream by the gallon everyday. Bless her soul.

I wish I was as diligent and I should be since I have drier skin but I feel so pressed for time in the morning that I sometimes skip out on the body cream and leave it until the evening or dare I say sometimes in the evenings I forget! Needless to say I should be moisturizing my body way more than I do…! If I used as much moisturizer on my body as I do on my face I’d probably glide too.

That’s why I gotta say that E.L.F. Lotion Wipes are kinda rocking my world at the moment. These are so freaking nifty.

Take a look!

Do you love Lush Ruby Red Slippers? That spicy exotic scent of carnations….mmm I’ll never understand how a girl like me who adores toothache inducing sweet scents could love RSS so much.

But I do!

If you’re a lover of the scent too you probably hate when it disappears or doesn’t show up during the Holidays. But no worries Retro Lush is the solution!

Potion Lotion smells just like Ruby Red Slippers and comes in the perfect scented body lotion that allows the scent to linger on and on and on all day and basically puts you in a peaceful comatose with thoughts of running through a field of carnations in your head. Do fields of carnations even exist? For this post let’s pretend they do!

Have I ever told you how car air fresheners totally freak me out?

Ugh. I hate the stench of a car air freshener particularly one that’s been left in a car for several hours on a hot day.

That’s some seriously bloody smelling shiz. Reminds me of the 80′s and Monte Carlos.

P U!

Bath and Body Works manages to capture that really bad smell and bottle it up in their new Plum Potion Body Lotion for Halloween.

Jump!

Hey Guys!

Sorry, I’ve been a wee swamped lately and I feel like its been ages since I really talked to you. As always I’m behind on comments, e-mails, etc…and my posts aren’t as personal and as fun as I’d like them to be since I’ve been so busy. Hopefully things lighten up soon!

Have you all hauled the new Halloween Body Lotions at Bath and Body Works yet? I ventured in and faced the wraith of the aggressive SA’s so I could haul them. However, I admit to running in, grabbing them, and running out without smelling them first because those damn sales people scare this little old Muse to death.

So far they are hit or miss for me but I am loving a few.

Here’s another babbling post about another one I tried today.

Check it!

Spider Cider is one of six new mini body lotions releasing along with the Bath & Body Works Halloween 2011 Collection. These mini lotions are priced at $5 each or you can haul three of them for $10.

I thought Spider Cider was the best of the few I’ve tried so far and deserving of a back up!

Another day, another Bath and Body Works Halloween Body Lotion review.

Tired of ‘em yet?

Not me…!

Hey, I was thinking….what if BBW starts doing these little themed body lotions for all the Holidays!? Like V-Day, Easter, etc…I can get on board with a marshmallow chick body lotion! Same goes for the Liplicious Lipglosses…

But than we’d have a whole shiz load of mini body lotions and lipglosses. Oh wait…that won’t be a problem since we already HAVE a load of them anyway.

Ha!

Sinful Vanilla Body Lotion is one of six new mini size lotions available now at Bath and Body Works for Halloween.

Check it!

Black Candy Apple is one of six new Halloween Body Lotions that Bath & Body Works has released for Fall/Halloween 2011. These body lotions are the mini size (3 oz) and are $5 each or 3 for $10.

I did indeed pick up all six. It was kinda funny as I was willy nilly tossing them in my bag without smelling them in order to escape the aggressive SA that was following me around. Those BBW SA chicks are scary! You need to go into those stores with your fighting gear in place because those people will take you DOWN!

Let’s take a peek at Black Candy Apple and see if it was worth the trouble.

Contrary to popular belief with all the Fall and Halloween coverage we still have several weeks of Summer.

Let’s not rush it.

That’s why it’s perfectly ok to indulge in Bath & Body Works Scream-a-Colada Body Lotion. Meant for Halloween it still smells very much like Summer to this Muse.

Thank god it’s Friday! Friday! Friday! Excited? I am.

God, been such a bloody long week. Anyway, it’s really cold out today peeps and I’m hatin’ on it but I have been awaiting Spring and even Summer at this point. During my wait I’ve already started clearing up my closet and vanity, making room for new makeup and most important bath and body goodies for the warmer weather.

Yes, I rotate bath and body products for colder and warmer weather. In the winter, I prefer warmer scents and in the spring and summer I like fruity, sweeter blends. I’ve hauled out the newest Korres Body Butter and Korres Shower Gels scents for Spring as they are all so very fitting for the happy days ahead….

Now if it would just get here already.

Dear Mother Nature,

I is ready for warm weather.

k, thanks.

the Muse

Jump to hear about the delicious new blends from Korres!

I was a little bit of a tom boy growing up and most Summer’s I’d be up at the crack of dawn playing outside with my best friend Jonathan. We’d stay out all day long, this was of course B.I. (Before Internet). One thing I do remember is the holly berries that seemed to have a knack of appearing in our play time. We’d concoct strange recipes with them, feed them to his action figures, and just sit there and squash them for hours on end. One thing we did not do was eat them. My mum put the fear of god in me about consuming or trying to consume a deadly holly berry, she also said to never eat dirt. Bless, I learned alot from my dear old mum about nature growing up.

Moral of the story is that at first sniffle of the new Body Shop Dewberry Shower and The Body Shop Dewberry Body Lotion…hmm how reminiscent of childhood!
