FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO LOVE TO EAT
I stumbled across Hungry Girl one week before Halloween, when I had made the self-destructive mistake of buying two bags of "fun size" candy bars. The timing was truly unfortunate; I had opened one of the bags the night before reading Lisa's column about the horrors of the little goodies. I've since come to love the HG (Hungry Girl, for those of you not in the know) site. In addition to nutrition info and eating tips, Lisa reviews and introduces packaged foods and shares original recipes. I was very impressed by her recipe for homemade peanut butter cups - I wish I'd seen it before Halloween. And I already appreciate the Holiday help she's doling out.

I believe the success of Lisa's site is due to her own experiences. She admits that she loves to eat and battled with that extra 25 lbs. that too many of us know too well. Her site is packed with fun, facts, and creative ideas, and makes you want to go back for another helping!

SCRUB-A-DUB-DUB - THERE'S CHOCOLATE IN MY TUB! While trying on last year's summer wardrobe (Do these shorts still fit? Do I really like this blouse?) I noticed that my legs are not only pasty white but they also have flaky scales. Not quite the look I want. I must be one of the only gals out here who's not clued in to the magic of sugar scrubs. Ever the brave soul, I decided to find one and give it a go. After looking at lots of pretty packaging (always an important consideration when buying unfamiliar beauty products) I decided to try KLEAN Bath & Body's German Chocolate Cake Body Polish . This certainly isn't the best time of year to eat chocolate cake (if I want to wear those shorts) so I'll take the no-calorie version for the bathtub! Now to the self-tanner. I'm not brave enough to try a new brand so I picked up a tube of L'Oreal's Sunless Sublime Glow Daily Moisturizer . It gives just enough color to my skin to make it look naturally tan an

WHAT A CLUTCH! Thank you, Blooming Lily , for sharing another great find with us. loungeluxe is a fairly new shopping portal for indie businesses. It's pretty on the eyes and is incredibly easy to navigate. Lots of links. Some of my favorites - Peggy Li Jewelry and Kailo Chic (isn't the clutch pictured here marvelous!) - are already on the site. I noticed there are a lot of items from Modishoppe - that's a great endorsement!

MY NEW FAVORITE LIP BALM While shopping last week I paused at the Burt's Bees display - I always look at their new products. As soon as I saw their new lip balm I knew I had to have it. Lip Shimmers is the company's newest line of lip products. Unlike other lip balms (both Burt's and other companies') it's actually creamy. There's a great selection of colors (11!) that look like they'll work with every complexion. I love the Papaya. I can't think of enough good things to say about this product: it's 100% natural, comes in a nice little tube (no messy finger application), has just enough shimmer to look like lip gloss and is a budget-friendly $4 per tube.
