DRESS-UP FUN

My niece went through the ubiquitous Barbie phase recently. Nothing against Barbie and her anatomically impossible body (not to mention that hair!), but my childhood obsession made me cringe when I had to play with her again. How I wish I'd known about these charming little mice. They and their eight outfits come in a little wooden box; maybe our budding stylists will want to put their clothes away! I found these cuties at PADiLLY - a great site that's full of high-quality, fun, and educational European toys.

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

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.

PUBLICITY TIP I just learned about Squidoo and why we business owners should be using it. Not only is it great for SEO but it's free! Resourceful entrepreneurs can't afford not to use this site. Just write a lense (similar to a blog entry) about a topic you're knowledgeable about - any topic. Business owners often know more about their product than anyone else. So tell the world about it! I'm still working on my first lense. I wrote about KLEAN Bath & Body's sugar scrubs - it's easy to write about products you love . The tech support staff and community at SquidU are helping me iron out the kinks - I'll show it to you when it's completed.
