Delicious Rhubard & Rose is a delectable scent that you'll want to spend time with.

Those that are dieting may want to consider another scent of bath and shower gel for spending time within their bath.  The reason is that Molton Brown’s Delicious Rhubard & Rose has such a yummy fruity-floral fragrance that you might not be able to resist heading to the kitchen afterwards.

As soon as you flip that cap, you get a fresh whiff of slightly bitter rhubard and the bright juicy notes of mandarin and yuzu fruit.  Yet, once you start lathering up with this moisturizing pink gel, the rose note kicks in to sweeten up this delicious bathing recipe, toning the tartness back.  The more you linger and wash, the more that you’ll detect the underlying sexy musk note emerges, which is so appealing.

Sudsing up with its sugared bubbles is a delight to the senses and offers a beautiful escape once you’re in the tub or shower.  If you love a fruity-floral aroma or are thinking of a nice one for that special lady as a Mother’s Day gift, this product from Molton Brown can please.  My advice is check out this Bath & Body Gel ($30) and the entire Delicious Rhubard & Rose line!

John Frieda Salon Shape Hot Air Brush Review--Upping Your Mother’s Day Beauty!

You'll like what you can do with this product.

It’s that time of year when you want to do something spectacular with your hair for a fresh look. Whatever style you’re going for, you want your hair frizz-free with as much shine and volume that you can possibly get. A product that can help with that task is John Frieda’s Salon Shape Hot Air Brush that PR sent for this review.

This helps eliminate frizz.

This brush isn’t meant to dry your hair like your hair dryer.  You could probably do that, but it is recommended for putting final touches to your hair after it is mostly dry (80%). With its ionic generator, this styling tool is great for creating smoothness to eliminate frizziness by how it flattens the hair cuticles.  It also has ceramic and titanium technology built in for giving hair extra shine and increased thermal protection. 

The barrel of this brush is 1-1/2 inches and it has 500 watts of power, two settings for heat, besides the cool setting for locking in the fullness.    I forgot to mention it also has a long cord that swivels for better access to electric outlets as well as maneuvering.

I have thick hair that has some layers cut in to take advantage of my natural curl.  I started on the high setting to turn my hair under initially before I changed to the lower heat just for a few minutes because it was at the right stage to finish with the cool button.  I am happy to report that once I partially dried my hair and experimented with the Salon Shape Hot Air Brush, I loved how the layers seemed to separate and puff out more than when blow drying with two different size ceramic brushes.

With how much extra volume that I noticed in my thick hair, I can only imagine how beneficial this tool could be for someone with thin or fine hair.  Honestly, if you thought your fine hair was doomed to hang flat and limp, then try this John Frieda Salon Shape Hot Air Brush because it will surprise you in a nice way for you to gift yourself with or that special lady for Mother’s Day.  Check it out!

Stem cells power up this Stemulation anti-aging formula.

I am fortunate to have great skin, but it wasn’t always the case.  I used to have trouble with an oily complexion and occasional breakouts like everyone else and then my skin began undergoing changes with dryness and fine lines. Today, I want to tell you about Stemulation, a luxury skin care line that uses stem cells from bone marrow (Adult Mesenchymal Stem Cells) for their rejuvenating power to beautify an aging complexion.

Fuego Box April 2017 Review

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

I never was aware of so many different varieties of hot sauces existed until Fuego Box.

Happy days are here again with the arrival of my latest Fuego Box.  This month’s savory trio of spicy heat from the hot sauce subscription brought more unique ways to fire up the tongue with flavor.

If you also love your foods extra hot, then you need to check out Fuego Box because it has the best unusual, small-batch, artisan hot sauces that I have come across.  Trust me, you can’t easily find what this subscription box puts together in your typical grocery store because these come from all over the country. The cost is $29.95 per quarter with free shipping.  You also get an informational card about the sauces and recommended foods to go along with each sauce.  Furthermore, you can also buy one box at time for just $12.95 with a $5.00 shipping fee.

April brought Maple Oatmeal Stout Craft Beer Hot Sauce from the Butterfly Bakery of Vermont.  This is a medium heat  jalapeno pepper-based sauce that has oatmeal stout, maple syrup along with white vinegar and spices.  For someone that hates to drink beer, I wasn’t sure that I would care for this mildly sweet sauce. However, it was really delicious on my scrambled eggs.  Next, I plan trying some on a veggie burger later today.

Hoff Sauce is a tasty everyday jalapeno with habanerno pepper sauce that has nice nip to it.  This one is quite hot, but won’t burn the inside of your mouth so much that you’ll miss its fantastic flavor.  

Finally, I found a yellow colored one with turmeric called No. 23 from Corine’s Cuisine, which was quite different.  This one also has Scotch bonnet peppers, lots of garlic, shallots as well in its savory mix. I sampled this one for the first time on my cheese sandwich and it was quite good.

Honestly, if you love hot sauce, Fuego Box is wonderful with what you can experience.  In fact, this hot sauce subscription makes a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift if that special lady likes to turn up the heat of her food.

Mother’s Day Gift Idea–Pamper Mom With L’Occitane en Provence’s Almond Smooth Collection! (Review)

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

L'Occitane's Almond Smooth Collection

If you’re still debating on what you should gift your mother with for Mother’s Day, then let me make a suggestion.  One of my all-time favorite body care lines is L’Occitane en Provence’s Almond Collection. These plant-based products lovingly nourish the skin with a lasting silky veil of fragrant moisture that has a powdery sweetness that is intensely beautiful in how it clings and tends to the skin.    

The award-winning Almond Shower Oil is a delightful way to cleanse and hydrate with its almond and grape seed oils for benefits to the skin.  Use it in place of your shower gel for a luxurious bathing experience.  I love how this stuff doesn’t leave any greasy film behind only an intoxicating scented foam.  It is wonderful to use for shaving your legs with.

Their Almond Milk Concentrate is another award-winning product–-and rightly so for how this luscious scented cream melts into the skin and provides such a smooth and silky texture to your body.  With its powerful almond derivatives and walnut seed, this rich product seems to amplify that moisturizing I received from the Almond Shower Oil. 

The Almond Smooth Collection from L'Occitane is valued at $104.50 but can now be had for $72!

The Almond Delicious Hands is one that any pair of hands would appreciate.  This awesome smelling cream is non-greasy and effective for improving the condition of hands.  You can even type without worrying that you will dirty the keys.   

The Almond Delicious Paste is another gentle product that any woman would love to exfoliate her body with. This is the perfect compliment for spending time in the bath with the Almond Shower Gel.  

Each Almond product that I’ve tried has been exceptional in its mix of almond oil and/or milk and almond extracts among its ingredients for what it did for superbly smoothing and softening the body while scenting the skin. 

If you haven’t tried any Almond products, now is the perfect time for you and your mother to experience its wonders since the company has a great deal right now.  L’Occitane is offering a gift set of four of the products–-Almond Shower Gel (16.9 oz.), Almond Cream Concentrate (3.5 oz.), Almond Delicious Hands (1 oz.), and the Almond Delicious Paste (1.7 oz.) valued at $104.50 for just $72 in this Almond Smooth Collection!  

Review: NEW Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc Eau de Toilette, Body Milk, and Perfumed Soap From L’Occitane en Provence–Fresh Floral Extraordinaire!

**Disclaimer:  This post has been compensated through a free product (s) or monetary payment.  Opinions are solely mine. All links are "no-follow" links.**

Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc Body Milk, Eau de Toilette, and Perfumed Soap from L'Occitane en Provence.

Just in time for Mother’s Day, I am happy to tell you that L’Occitane en Provence added another fragrance for women to their La Collection de Grasse.  Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc Eau de Toilette is their new fresh fruity-floral offering that is a sensory experience of feminine beauty.

This fragrance opens with a sparkling spirit from juicy top notes of invigorating citruses and black currant. Though pronounced, this composition is carefully orchestrated because once those notes further warm in the floral heart with iris and ylang-ylang along with peach and fig milk, it loses that stronger crispness and mellows. The result is an intriguing mix of fresh verus powdery notes that embody its radiant personality. As it dries down, the base notes of cedar and white musk softly entice and seduce.

Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc from L'Occitane en Provence, unboxed

The Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc Perfumed Body Milk ($27) is a pampering way to compliment the Eau de Toilette ($78) with that lovely scent.  This pink lotion is just what you need to richly moisturize the skin and keep that fragrance going even longer. 

The Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc Perfumed Soap ($7) is a joyous luxury as well.  The fragrance seems to linger after washing with this gentle soap.

You may want to look into L’Occitane en Provence’s Iris Bleu & Iris Blanc products this year for gift giving for both your mother and yourself because you both deserve this sweet combo of fruits and flowers!

Rock Star of Hair Dryers! ONE Styling Epic Lite Hair Dryer and ONE Diffuser Review + ($270) Giveaway!--Ends April 22, 2013

Disclaimer:  This post is based on free products  provided by a company as a press sample so that I may offer my own  opinion, which may be the same or differ from yours.

ONE Styling Epic Lite Hair Dryer

I can't keep my feelings hidden any longer.  I must confess that I am head over heels in love--that is not with a new man but with my new Epic Lite Hair Dryer and ONE Diffuser from ONE Styling that I received for this review and giveaway.  This duo is the ultimate in delivering beautiful volume and if you're lucky to have some natural waves and curl like mine, a head of stunning full curls--even without a styling product!

However, I am getting ahead of myself.  But I can't believe how many big, bouncy curls I'm still wearing after I experimented with that new dryer and diffuser last night.  I am in awe of this magnificent technology because I never had such fullness and lasting curls unless there were lots of products involved.

ONE Styling Epic Lite Diffuser

ONE Styling Epic Lite Hair Dryer and ONE Diffuser attached

The Epic Lite  is a miniature dryer like a gun that  is the perfect weight and slim shape for someone with a small hand like mine when it comes to maneuvering.  To make it this light, you might think the material of the body would be an inferior looking plastic but it is sturdy looking construction with a double walled body.  

I have had hair dryers that my wrist got tired before I finished styling my thick hair.  The Epic Lite rocks once again in the power department with 1875 watts in its high torque DC motor.  It has the ceramic sphere technology for capitalizing on bringing out your hairs shine and locking moisture in as well.  Besides, the cool shot button for setting in your style, it has buttons for changing temperatures and speeds.  A concentrator nozzle is also included to aim that heat exactly where you need it.

However, the most amazing quality this hair dryer has is its Ionic Intel System.  By adjusting a switch, you can go from sleek to voluminous, depending on whether you use the positive ions or the negative ions.  Imagine 10,000 times more negative ions than any coated tourmaline dryer, which means super everything from unbelievably fuller looking hair or just smoother, polished hair.  

When you use the positive ions setting in the Ionic Intel System, you open the hair cuticle, which would be ideal also for any stylist applying any chemical treatment to a client.  Once the treatment absorbed, you later seal the hair cuticles with negative ions to make the process last.

Of all the dryers I have ever owned, this one has the longest cord so you never have to worry about where you have to sit before you're able to plug in.  

The ONE Diffuser can fit onto any gun like type of dryer to help take advantage of any natural wave or curl in your hair.  You can set it to minimum or maximum by turning it.  This tool was like cream to an already purring cat because when I was done I was so satisfied with the dazzling, big curls it brought out from my layered cut.  

You may think I'm going overboard with how much I love this dryer, but the Epic Lite did things for my hair that no other dryers could compare with--and in record time!  I can't recommend the Epic Lite Hair Dryer from ONE Styling more highly.  If you want to make more of your hair, you really need one of these.  It  retails for $240 and would make a great Mother's Day gift.   (This is a hint, husbands or boyfriends--so do the right thing)!

With all sincerity, if you any natural wave or curl in your hair, you should also pick up that ONE Diffuser.  Use it and you will never want to be without it with those amazing voluminous curls that you can get.  This diffuser retails for $30.

Simply put, I am deeply and totally in love with the Epic Lite Hair Dryer and the ONE Diffuser from ONE Styling.  Trust me, but this dryer puts your old one to shame.   Buy these and you will thank me!

Thanks to ONE Styling, one lucky Nuts 4 Stuff reader in the United States or Canada wins both a ONE Styling Epic Lite Hair Dryer and the ONE Diffuser (a total value of $270)!
