Knock! Knock!
"Who's there?"
"It's the Avon lady!"
Ok, that's not quite how it happened, times have changed! As usual I was checking out the fashions around me when I spotted this watch on a co-worker. It was one of those things that I knew immediately I had to have. When I asked her where she got it she told me she got it from Avon. Problem: I don't know anyone that sells Avon. Solution: I went straight home and ordered it online, of course with a few other things, and got free shipping! Yippee! Entitled, Starfish Watch, it reminds me of my recent snorkeling adventures in the Virgin Islands. What a way to relive my vacation and for only $19.99! For the free shipping I had to spend $25 and that was easy... I got some lip balm, lip gloss, and waterproof mascara! I think I like this Avon thing!

Outfit Complete!
Getting ready for an evening out I always give myself the final lookover...ok, black shoes, dress pants aren't wrinkled, shirt matches, earrings on, the purse, the purse?! oops! I don't think my straw bag or my floral purse coordinates well with my evening wear! It seems that I don't have a casual evening bag! So, instead of leaving the purse at home and tucking everything into my pockets (this can be difficult and unsightly) I decided to check out the handbags at Becky OH! They have every type of bag you could possibly want. This one is my favorite for a night out!

Yes Mom, you do know best! Pfaltzgraff is the best!
My Pfaltzgraff catalog came in the mail last week and I just got around to looking at it when I spotted these Glass Seashell Tealight Holders. They come with two bags of sand, candles, tealight holders and seashells. Hmmm, I thought what a great idea for the little beach treasures that I have collected through the years with some sand from my favorite beach!
Why am I acknowledging my Mom? Well, my Mom bought me my first set of dishes from Pfaltzgraff and she insisted that they were the best!

Say good-bye to stinky sandals!
You know the one, the stinky smell coming from your sandals and or shoes.
OK, so maybe you are one of those lucky few whose sandals do not stink. But for the rest of us, I found this really nice spray - Paxton's Sandal & Shoe Saver
The real test came when I wore the sandals. Well let me tell you I have been wearing these sandals all week and they have not started to smell again, yet! Very nice!

Fresh haircare pampers my dull mop
While on a recent trip to LA (Thanks to Ford), I discovered the best shampoo and conditioner in the whole wide world. No joke!
I've been having this issue with my hair lately - it's been dull and dry and just not a whole lot of fun to be with. Which really stinks because I spend a lot of money on my hair and you know, that just ain't fair! But when I tried these two, my hair felt like silk! You've got to check it out!
Ladies, meet Fresh Soy Shampoo which has an almost honey-like consistency, smelled wonderful and gave a rich, full lather; and Fresh Pomegranate Conditioning Hair Rinse
that is so light and moisturizing and has the most wonderful smell I could almost eat it!
Don't forget yesterday's coupon code:
Get free shipping on ANY purchase (no minimum, ladies!) at Sephora with coupon code WELCOME2.
Thanks to Average Jane for reminding me about this discovery!

Sweet success with Splenda
I have never been good at dieting and I don't think I'm alone. So....instead I decided to make small changes in my diet that I could live with. I started cutting back on the soda and the juices that contained a lot of sugar. That's when I decided to try using products made with Splenda! Just by switching my beverages to those made with Splenda I lost a few pounds and I don't even feel like I'm dieting. The next step? I am going to start using Splenda for baking and I found the perfect cookbook The SPLENDA World of Sweetness: Recipes for Homemade Desserts and Delicious Drinks

Laundry detergent can be cool!
OK, so it’s really not that cool, but it is eco-trendy. (Especially for me- it’s made right here in North Carolina.) Charlie’s Soap has converted this former Tide girl. They say:
“Our Laundry Powder is a revolutionary approach to laundry care. It does not cover up stains and odors with scents and brighteners - it really cleans. It is made with a unique blend of biodegradable coconut-based detergents and high-grade, completely soluble, Green River washing soda.”
Because there are no dyes or additives, it’s great for sensitive skin- even babies. You don’t have to use much- approximately a tablespoon of the powder. Their 3-lb bag of powder cleans 80 loads. (That’s smaller than a bag of flour!). The cost works out to $0.16 a load. Tide is over $0.20 per load.
This stuff really works! My clothes are clean, with no stiff residues or cloying scents. My co-worker (who told me about it) has four kids, and has found that it even gets out red Kool-Aid. I do find that I need to throw a dryer sheet in to prevent static cling, however.
Oh, and if you find you are sensitive to the chemicals used in all-purpose cleaners as I am, their cleaner is fume-free.

BIG TALK about Small Talk
I have fine hair. It's one of those things in life that you can't change. You just have to learn how to work with it. I have tried a multitude of products and haven't found one that works until now! Small Talk from Bed Head! My hairdresser introduced me to it and I have been in love with it since. Because you only need a small amount, one bottle lasts a long time. Its amazing! My hair looks and feels thicker, no frizz, and has amazing volume! The best part? No crunchy stiff hair that often plagues us girls who have fine hair!
Available for a great price at Beautydeals! Enter 258 at checkout for $2 off your first order!

A Super Soothing Find on Vacation
While I had a great time on my recent vacation, I had a little run-in with the sun. I thought I was good- before we left the hotel I put a liberal coat of my favorite SPF 50 sunblock on and proceeded to spend a good portion of my morning and early afternoon at Disneyland in the hot summer sun.
No, I didn't reapply (shame on me!), and yes- despite my SPF 50, I was suffering from moderate overexposure to the sun. Later after leaving the park that afternoon, we happened into a mall with a Sephora! While perusing my favorite makeup products and trying to resist the urge to buy even more make-up I came upon Super Soothing After-Sun Gel
.
I immediately tried the tester on my still-stinging arms and immediately fell in love with the fresh scent and instant sooth. I couldn't beat the price (only $8.00) so I left Sephora.comwith soothed skin and a soothed wallet. This product will definitely be in my beauty bag on any vacation or day trip! You never know when you too will be overexposed. I highly recommend!
Also- don't forget: Get free shipping on ANY Sephora purchase with coupon code WELCOME2

Try Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine, you'll never forget it!
I took the ever lovely Megan (this site's founder), out to dinner for her birthday last Monday night. Our first stop was Ivy, a lovely new casual Italian place near Downtown Crossing in Boston. Unfortunately, Megan and I have been spoiled by a most delicious cheese plate at Todd English's Tuscany and by Cobblestone's macaroni and cheese, so what we ordered, while good, wasn't "as good as"!
Never fear, we headed to The Four Seasons Hotel for drinks and dessert at The Bar at Aujourd'hui and, as always, were warmly welcomed (and we weren't dressed to the nines either). The service is no less than spectacular, as you would probably expect AND it's quiet, no annoying ringtones (except, unfortunately, mine, but only for a second!) or loud voices.
The birthday girl ordered a Valrhona Chocolate Soufflé, accompanied by Grand Marnier Crème Anglaise, with a glass of Alcyone Tannat Dessert Wine. Oh, were we in for a surprise! That wine has the most incredible taste!!! It's sweet, yes, but not cloyingly so. It tastes of cocoa, honey, cinnamon, cloves and herbs; after you have a glass, you will feel calm and content! We both immediately fell in love with it and in fact, I'll be off looking for a bottle of it tonight! Order a bottle of it online at corpwines.com
Do give it a try if you can find a bottle...if you don't like it, you can mail it directly to me :-) For those of you lucky enough to live near Boston, give The Bar at Aujourd'hui a try, if you haven't already...you'll be pleasantly surprised!
Editors Note: I just had a brilliant idea - an A Girl Must Shop get together at The Bar at Aujourd'hui! Who's in?

Smell good enough to drink with Dementer Fragrances!
I am not a flowery perfume girl. As a matter of fact I am not much for wearing perfume at all. Most perfume counters give me a roaring headache so I avoid them (and those spritzer girls at the major department stores) like the plague.
However, like most any girl, I do like to smell pretty. It has taken me some time (and several partially used bottles of perfume!) but I have finally found some of the yummiest scents that don't induce a headache at DemeterFragrance.com.
My favorite collection happens to be their cocktail-inspired Happy Hour Collection. "Who wants to smell like a drunk person?", you say? Don't be silly! They smell like the drink without the overbearing alcohol smell. I am most fond of Sex on the Beach and it's counterpart Sex on The Beach South Beach! They both smell good enough to drink. And it is always fun smelling slightly different and unique. If only they would make a traditionally margarita scented one...I would be all over that!
DemeterFragrance.com has lots of different sizes available in a HUGE variety of scents as well as shower gels, lotions and room sprays. They even have great gift sets to give as gifts (or buy for yourself like I do)! They have a liberal return policy for an online fragrance retailer. The scents, besides being awesome, are reasonably prices and often they have great deals going on; like right now you can get a free gift of Angel Food Bath & Shower Gel free with any purchase of $25.00 or more.

Lancome gives the best lashes! + coupon for free gifts and shipping!
I am no stranger to shopping, and certainly no stranger to makeup. So, as you might imagine, I have shopped for my fair share of makeup. I would have to say, though, that the makeup product that I’ve shopped for the most would be mascara, constantly searching for that one perfect go-to. I am a sucker for slick mascara marketing, so I’ve tried almost every mascara under the sun. I’ve tried mascara that ranges from the highest of the high end to the lowest of the low end in terms of price point – I’m willing to try anything that promises to lengthen, thicken, or otherwise emphasize my somewhat pale lashes – and believe me when I say that I very well may have tried them all!
In so doing, I think I have finally stumbled upon one that actually lives up to what it promises to deliver, and that is Lancome Hypnose. I was a long-time Lancome Definicils wearer. Definicils is a Lancome best-seller, touted as the mascara that will give you long, perfectly defined lashes, shaped and separated.
While perfectly happy with Definicils, I decided to branch out and try Lancome’s newest mascara offering – Hypnose. Hypnose promises to intensify your lashes from root to tip, giving them up to 6 times their volume, and they do this with an interestingly designed brush and a vitamin B5 fortified formula. Now I can’t say that I’ve attempted to quantify this, but Hypnose makes my lashes look longer, fuller, and certainly more intense. I’ve never had a problem with clumping, either, and that’s usually my chief complaint with even the highest end mascara.
Bottom line? I’ve tried many, many mascaras out there, from to Dior and Chanel to Cover Girl and Wet ‘n Wild, and every time I branch out to try something new, I wind up coming back to Lancome.
BONUS Coupons!
Get free shipping on any order - simply register as a My Lancome member.
Plus receive a free deluxe sample collection with $50 purchase. Enter CURVYLASH at check out. Exp 8/24. While supplies last. One per customer.

Mangosteen leaves my skin soft and smelling Fresh!
In a recent order from Sephora, I received a sample of Fresh's Mangosteen Bath & Shower Gel and also the Body Lotion. It smells of citrus (I detect grapefruit), flowers, peach, and soft woods...heavenly! And it makes your skin feel so soft!
What's a mangosteen? According to Wikipedia
The mangosteen ... is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The rind...is deep reddish purple when ripe and the fragrance is sweet and creamy, citrusy with some peach flavor. Often heralded as the "Queen of Fruits", mangosteen is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemondrop mangosteen.
Don't forget - get free shipping on ANY purchase (no minimum, ladies!) at Sephora with coupon code WELCOME2. I think it's still valid. Feel free to let me know if it's expired.

Sweet Heat spices from tsp spices! Handy and yummy!
I read about tsp spices in Gourmet Magazine; you must try these! These spices are organic and each teaspoon of spice is packaged in it's own little sleeve! Stays fresh and delicious! Katie and Sara, co-founders of tsp spices, nicely sent along their "Sweet Heat" twin set - cinnamon and ancho chili - for me to try and try I did in the following recipe:
Barbecue Roasted Chicken
1/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 chicken breast halves (or 2 breasts and half them yourself!)
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 teaspoons ancho chile powder
2 teaspoons grated lemon rind
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon true (Saigon) cinnamon
Cooking spray
Lemon slices (optional)
Put chicken breast halves between sheets of waxed paper and gently flatten to an even thickness, between 1/4 and 1/2-inch thick.
Combine chicken with pineapple and lemon juice in a zip-top plastic bag; seal and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally.
Preheat oven to 400°...or better yet, get your grill ready!
Remove chicken from bag; discard marinade. Combine sugar through cinnamon in a bowl. Rub over chicken. If using your oven, place in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray and bake for 20-25 minutes; if using your grill, start grilling!
You can also use salmon in place of the chicken. Use four 6-ounce fillets, and cook in oven for 12 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork, or on your grill. Serve with lemon slices and some roasted asparagus...YUM!
Next up will be spicy fudgy brownies...stay tuned!

Another great shampoo/conditioner combo by Fresh!
Megan recently posted about Fresh Soy Shampoo and conditioner. I was intrigued and clicked on the links she provided. While there, I read about Rice Shampoo and Fresh Meadowfoam Cream Treatment Conditioner
and thought my hair could really use them; I permed AND colored my hair awhile back and let's just say it needs some help.
I used those two products yesterday morning and all I can say is WOW! My hair is soft and shiny and looks so much better! I do believe my hair just sighed. Thank you,
Fresh, for your amazing products!

You'll want to "Clock" him over the head - if you can find him!
Have a hard time getting out of bed? Check out Clocky, an alarm clock that runs away and hides when you don't wake up! Clocky gives you the chance to get up on your own, but he isn't patient. If you try to stay in bed, Clocky will jump off your nightstand, alarm sounding, and wheel around your room looking for a place to hide. But don't worry, Clocky is fully adjustable: set it to snooze once before running away, or even not to run away at all. Clocky is genius!

Easy does it with Salad Shaker & more!
When I saw this Salad Shaker by Fit & Fresh I knew my mornings just got easier! Let me explain...
Trying to eat healthier (keyword-trying), I have been preparing salads to take with me to work. Here lies the problem->I can't fit the salad, the bottle of dressing and silverware into my lunch bag. I end up putting it all in a plastic shopping bag and by the time I get to work my silverware is poking through, my salad is a jumbled mess and my bottle of dressing gets left at work! Not to mention that I use a lot of dressing (not quite the recommended 2 tbsp).
The Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker has a place for silverware, one serving of dressing, and an ice pack that keeps your salad cool for up to 6 hours! It's an all-in-one, not bad! Can't figure out how one container can do all that? Check out this diagram that details all that the Fit & Fresh Salad Shaker can do! Available for purchase at Linens 'n Things.
Ways to save at Linen 'n Things-

These candles are Scandle-ous!
I recently discovered this great new candle called the Scandle. It's a scented candle made of FDA approved ingredients including palm kernel oil, shea butter, cosmetic grade soy butter, vitamin E, body safe fragrance and essential oils that's good for you and the environment.
What's even better are the different uses for the candle.Not only can you light the Scandle like any other candle and burn it for ambiance and fragrance, but you can also use the liquid as a body moisturizer, massage lotion, as a cuticle treatment for manicures and pedicures.
I tried the lilac scented Scandle and it is different from other candles out there. I mean, what other candle can be used as a massage lotion and on your cuticles. In fact, I'm almost finished with the lilac and I'm thinking about trying the lavender one, next. I bet that one will be really good for relaxing massages.

True Blue baby I love you!
We've all had blueberry muffins, blueberry pancakes, and some of us have even had blueberry salsa. But, have you tried blueberry juice? No? Oh you must!
TrueBlue blueberry juice is an amazing concoction. Not only is it yummy, it's full of those all-important antioxidants and since blueberries are naturally sweet and tasty, TrueBlue is only lightly sweetened with cane sugar (NOT High Fructose Corn Syrup) and has 25% fewer calories per serving than most cranberry-based products. And if that's not light enough for you, they even have a lite version of TrueBlue.
Aaaaaaaand! It makes for amazing blueberry martinis.
I found this one on the Recipes">TrueBlue recipe page.
TrueBluetini:
1 oz. TrueBlue Blueberry Cocktail
1 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Amaretto
1/2 oz. Cointreau.
Combine TrueBlue Blueberry Cocktail, Triple Sec, Amaretto, Cointreau and ice.
Shake and strain into a martini glass.
Here's what I came up with:
A Girl Must Shop Bluetini:
1 oz. TrueBlue Blueberry Cocktail
1 oz. Blueberry-flavored vodka (I like Stoli)
1/2 oz. Godiva chocolate liqueur
1/2 oz. Irish cream
Pour it all over ice. Shake 'til you can't shake no more! Pour (sans ice) into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with blueberries if you want to look cool!
Whatcha waiting for? Find TrueBlue at a store near you.
AND sign up for the TrueBlue email list and get a coupon for $1 off.
