Spring Break (Part 3) - If you are staying at home

I was doing my best to just stay home for Spring Break. Get some Spring Cleaning done, catch up on movies and TV shows, and reflect on my goals for the year; but alas, the madness downtown has lured me in. For those of you fortunate enough to stay home the rest of this week, you can have my original plan - please, enjoy it for me.





1. Try four different Kneipp baths this week and let the essential oils first soothe, then reenergize me. I've also been wanting to try every Dresdner Essenz bath salt. A customer came in highly recommending them. She bought 12 of them!
    ( There is still time for 4 baths this week if you start today. )

2. Finish off cleaning triumphs with a new candle or fragrance. I was thinking one new Trapp votive per room completed OR treating myself to a Lampe Berger if all cleaning projects were finished!







3. Masking, Masking, Mani/pedicuring
   Pack on a couple of masks. Holy Mud has a few face masks I've been meaning to try; and Murad's Pomegranate Enzyme Mask is a Spring Break tradition of mine. (Of course, followed by sunscreen if I'm catching some sun.)
    While your face mask sets, pack something into your hair. Phytonectar Oil works wonders with continued use. It is a pre-shampoo oil; so if you want a treatment that acts like a rinse, Phytokarite is my all time favorite.
    To celebrate the magic of multi-tasking, give yourself a mani/pedicure
while you give your masks time to work their magic. With all the new Spring colors available from OPI and Essie, it doesn't get anymore magical than that!


**How are you relaxing this week?

Spring Break Essentials (Part 2) If you are leaving Austin

The ongoing joke these days is, "I'm a local, I'm leaving Austin," in regards to Spring Break week. We understand, you love the city, you had your chance to do the Rodeo, SXSW, and even St. Patty's Day all over the city; but now you'd rather avoid the chaos.

If you are still packing bags, stop by the Beauty Store for your travel needs! These are things I can't travel without:
