As Mother's Day quickly approaches, many may be wondering "What in the WORLD should I get Mom this year?!". Sometimes the same old flowers or chocolates get boring, and let's face it: maybe Mom doesn't exactly like having to take care of those roses.

Have you ever found a product and just fallen head over heels for it, accepting no substitutes? Well, years ago I had this experience with Smith's Rosebud Salve.This multi-purpose salve is unique because:
A. Just look at it! The packaging is unarguably, absolutely adorable, not to mention extremely durable! (Should I call it adurable?!)
B. It smells like roses! The scent is light, delicate, and delightfully feminine.
My #1 summer beauty essential item.
For those little/no-makeup days, just apply the salve to your lips, cheekbones and on your brow bones for a dewy glow. You may even mix in a bit of loose shimmer to enhance the effect.It's also great for taming frizzies/flyaways on those horribly humid summer days, but remember, a little bit goes a long way!For $6-7 these little tins will last you for months and solve many of your everyday beauty dilemmas! Best of all, Rosebud has released many great variations of the original salve such as strawberry, mint, Brambleberry Rose (my personal favorite), and the brand new Mocha Rose. For die hard Rosebud fans such as myself, they're all must-haves!
Days are getting longer, the weather is getting warmer, and flowers are blooming all around. You know what this means! After a long, cold winter, spring has finally arrived! Celebrate and look fabulous in this season of beauty and love with some of aveyou.com's hottest products.

There is nothing worse than a full head of frizzy, knotty, dull... hmm, what are those? Can you even call those curls? It is no secret that until now, curly girls such as myself have had trouble bringing out the best in their twisting, tumbling tresses but now, thanks to DevaCurl, we can! DevaCurl's DevaFuser Kit is the start towards a loving relationship between you and your curls.
This innovative and revolutionary hand shaped diffuser utilizes 360 degree air flow to gently dry your curls from the inside out which creates softer, shinier, healthier frizz-free hair. "Can it get any better?" you may ask yourself. Well, why yes, it can! The DevaFuser significantly reduces drying time so drying and styling your hair will no longer become an all morning routine. This is truly a must-have for all those curly girls out there!
For all the women who walk into the nail salon and reluctantly pay exuberant prices for artificial nails that only further damage their natural ones... the time has come! For all the ladies with peeling, weak, short nails, whom have to hide their hands away with shame... the time has come! The time has come to say "Tips? These aren't tips..." and not be a liar! It is time to raise those beautifully manicured hands up in the air and say "Yes, they're natural... and they are fabulous!"
Fingernails can be weak and brittle for many reasons from the body lacking nutrients such as Calcium, Vitamin E or protein, to washing hands with harsh dish detergents or soap. When the cuticle of the nail is dry and damaged, nail growth is inhibited and any growth that does occur will be slow, thin, and easily breakable.
All my life, I have struggled with weak, peeling nails. I always kept them short because they were so prone to breaking or I would go get artificial nails, which only made matters worse. I was in need for a total nail intervention. Thankfully, about three weeks ago, I was introduced to two products: Nail Envy by O.P.I. and SpaRitual Cuti-Cocktail Nail and Cuticle Oil.
For the next three weeks I applied Nail Envy and the Cuti-Cocktail Nail and Cuticle Oildaily, and not only I, but my friends, boyfriend, and aquaintences all noticed my long, thick, healthy nails! I had a new found confidence about something I used to be so insecure about! Friends of mine even told me, "I am so jealous of your nails. I wish mine could look like that.", and although I was secretly happy that I now truly had nails to envy, I was happy to tell everyone my nail secrets: Nail Envy by O.P.I. and SpaRitual Cuti-Cocktail Nail and Cuticle Oil.
After a long, cold winter it's finally time to bust out our teeny bikinis and soak up the summer sun... right? For some of us, not quite. If you don't exactly have a toned "teeny bikini ready" tummy (like myself) you may want to grab yourself a bottle of Bliss Spa's fabulous new product,The Love Handler.
Most women know that the toughest place to tone is the midsection and BlissLove Handler really helps out with the abominable abdominal struggle most of us face. Paired with a healthier diet and some abdominal excercises (I suggest crunches on a stability ball, ladies!) Bliss Love Handler will work miracles! Squeeze a silver-dollar sized amount of the product into your palm and massage into any areas on your midsection that need slimming for 20-30 seconds a day. For serious slimming effects, I suggest following with a full body coat of Bliss' Fat Girl Slim.
Almost immediately, you will find yourself less bloated and swollen looking where you applied the product since BlissLove Handler is infused with caffeine. Mint oil and naturally-derived amino acid ingredients help stimulate circulation and boost the metabolism of your cells which actually helps you burn fat faster! I started getting visible results within about 3 weeks of usingBlissLove Handlerand BlissFat Girl Slim (Of course I also cut some calories and hit the gym several times a week) I have never burned fat so quickly in my life! Bliss Love Handleris like my own little personal trainer in a bottle. It will help you feel the burn and slim down quickly so you can look as fabulous as you are in that teeny bikini!
