Shea Body Butter, on sale $9.50

For whatever reason, The Body Shop, reminds me of 1998- early suburban malls, Contempo Casuals, United Colors of Benetton- that 1998. Last month I was in Boston to quit smoking with the Mad Russian, and was killing time waiting for my friend to get out of her quit smoking class, when I stumbled upon a brick and mortar Body Shop.

Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain in Crush $8.99

So what brought me to this was a) a random walk on Christmas Day and b) I wanted a cheaper version of Clinique’s Chubby Stick because well, they seemed to me at least as the same product so I figured why not save a few bucks. Continue reading

Merry Christmas!

My family is religiously mixed, so while we didn’t celebrate Christmas at home, I have very fond memories of celebrating it at my Aunt Joan and Aunt Ellen’s houses growing up. Christmas Eve was always my favorite of the two days, all of that anticipation, food and family, it was simply the best.

Here is hoping  that you are having the most wonderful start to Christmas!
