We all have our favorites in life and today I'm sharing a few of mine from the beauty closet.  From toes to lips, there's always something new in beauty to love and covet.  With so many truly incredible lines to choose from,  it's sometimes hard to find the one to fall in love with.  For me, that one right now is Dr. Dennis Gross and his innovative line of ferulic + retinol.  This powerhouse duo is so potent and efficacious that I can say I saw the desired improvements it claimed in as little as a couple of days.  Radiance and clarity were among two of the most noticeable and along with that, my skin was instantly softer, firmer, plumper and more supple.  Who couldn't love that?  This brightening enzyme water cream is the perfect drink of moisture for post-winter fatigued skin.  I'm also obsessing over all things coconut right now.  This body polish and this coconut milk honey bath are skin smoothers and soothers and oh-so-addicting.  And of course, don't forget your hands…this Ahava mineral hand cream will keep yours pretty and smooth and ready for your spring rings.  Here's to a beautiful Monday!

Happy Monday loves!  Hope your weekend was a well-spent one filled with your favorites.  I spent part of mine indulging in some new goodies sampled to me by some of my favorite beauty brands.  All I can say is I came away with a few new loves and several swoon-worthy recos.  So, let's get started!  First there was this smooth and creamy little miracle in a tube that, when I glided it over my skin, transformed my face into a smooth and pretty much flawless canvas that didn't need any further enhancing.  Maybe that's why I forgot to put any foundation on over it the next day, haha!  Seriously, this one is golden.  My hair also got a treat with this luscious masque by the incomparable Oribe.  Glossy, shiny and lush are the three words that come to mind after the blowout.  I say, run don't walk to your salon to give yourself and your hair a luxe beauty moment.  So, is it wrong to say I've fallen in love with a fragrance?  Probably not if it makes me happy which always leads to wonderful things.  This scent is classic and beautiful but then again, does Jo Malone do anything less, ever?  The sample I received was enough to make me want, no make that need, my own bottle.  Ahhh, it's always the little things.  So that's my weekend beauty wrap-up.  Of course, there are several others that I recommend too and they can all be found and shopped via the links below.  I hope you find something that makes your smile sparkle.  Have a beautiful Monday!

I hope you had a lovely Easter weekend!  Spring gives us so many reasons to be happy, one of which is Spring Beauty.  Today I'm sharing some of my favorite beauty essentials that are must-haves for spring.  As the seasons change, I find my product preferences seem to do the same.  With soft breezes now replacing winter's brisk wind {finally!} I'm reaching for lotions that add a subtle hint of sun-kissed color to otherwise pale arms and legs.  I've been using Jergens Natural Glow 
for less than a week now and am so thrilled with the natural looking color it gives me.  Perfect for dresses, short sleeves and sandals.

Fragrance is also something I love to switch out once the seasons change.  Warmer weather leaves me wanting a light, clean scent that carries just a hint of sweetness.  Philosophy's Fresh Cream does this via a luscious body creme as does Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh spray fragrance.  

Stay-put power and an extra pop of color are definite job requirements of the spring beauty arsenal.  These picks carry that punch and more.  What are your faves for the season?  

Have a lovely Monday everyone and thanks for stopping by!
