I’ve been doing a lot of testing these days but writing? Not so much. Here’s the lowdown on all of the fabulous, new items that I took for a test drive, and give two thumbs up for you to buy and try:
Skin in the summer oftentimes calls for a little something extra; if you think about it, being in the sun drastically, and quickly changes the skin’s texture and moisture level. It’s important to hydrate, and slough away dead skin cells during this time, and of course, Dove just gets it. The Limited Edition Dove Summer Care line comes in body wash or beauty bar form, smells zesty and citrusy (with vanilla and amber mixed in), and ever so lightly cleanses and exfoliates to further enhance your beautiful skin. I tested it out in the shower this morning, and it was so gentle that you barely even realize there’s some light exfoliation happening. Yes!
The Dove Limited Edition Summer Care will be available in food, drug, club, and online retailers this month, with the 22 fl oz body wash around $6.99, and a six-pack of beauty bars at $8.39.

I can gladly announce that the search has ended. The search, that is, for a natural deodorant that really really works – really! Courtesy of the brand, I tested the Lavanila Healthy Deodorant, a 100% natural product, in the Vanilla Lavender scent, (also available in Vanilla Grapefruit, Vanilla Coconut and Vanilla Passion Fruit). So what makes it so great? Well for one, it doesn’t include any bad chemmies, and it works well to mask wetness and odor while nourishing the skin! It’s free of parabens, sulfates, synthetic dyes, petro-chemicals, and phthalates, aluminum and mineral oils. What it DOES have are essential oils and anti-oxidants, including aloe, seaweed, yeast beta glucan, and Goji berry. The scent is light, yet present, and the packaging is the nicest I’ve ever seen from a deodorant!
Lavanila Health Deodorant is available in a variety of scents, PLUS in the essential travel size, mini deodorant .9o oz option at Sephora, ranging in price from $10-$18.
