Nutrius Brazilian Body Butter review

Raise your hand if you love a good body butter. Mine is way up! I love a good body butter, and these two scents by Nutrius are absolutely fabulous.

I first encountered this duo at Costco while wandering around the aisles. I was surprised to find they smell amazing and are extremely nourishing. Love that!

Since my skin gets very dry during the winter months, this body butter turned out to be a life saver. I only have to apply it once and the scent stays fresh, and my skin stays nourished without drying out again. That is the ultimate flex when it comes to body cream.

While both versions have slightly different ingredients, the only difference I notice is the scent. The fuchsia top has more of a powdery sweet fragrance while the yellow top is beachier; I assume due to the coconut. Both fragrances smell fantastic, and I have found myself addicted! Of course, as with anything at Costco, I can’t find it there anymore. Thankfully these body butters from Nutrius can be found elsewhere on the web.

I hope you enjoy these body butters!

Thanks for stopping by!

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish colors

Mocha Mousse inspired nail polish color from top: Hermes nail polish / Chanel brown nail polish / Chanel medium brown nail polish /

Now that Mocha Mousse has been announced as the color of the year by Pantone, let’s look in our nail polish collections and see what we can find in the ballpark!

We have three nail polish colors from 2024 which are in the brown family and are still in stock in stores; just in case you didn’t already indulge. The nail polish color featured above are Hermes Vert Bronze, Chanel Faun, and Chanel Spirituelle. Since we don’t have to have to the exact Mocha Mousse shade this upcoming 2025 year, any hue in the brown family will do. Love that!

If you already have a favorite shade of brown, you’re good to go for the new year! If not, I recommend one of these three colors. They are neutral, play well with any outfit you put together, and will carry you through the new year. I will definitely be rotating through these three hues! I am currently rocking the Hermes color. Love it!

So, without further ado, here are a few brown shades of nail polish from around the web you will love for 2025.

Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more winter coverage and new year’s news!

What’s in my travel beauty bag winter 2025

Inside my travel beauty bag winter 2025: (shown) beauty bag / travel size body cream / shampoo and conditioner, travel size / powder /

‘Tis the season of travel! As you know, I prefer to carry-on my luggage when I travel; if possible. This means I always ensure my beauty products are TSA compliant. Beauty products for carry-on luggage need to be 3.4oz or less and fit into a one-quart bag. I’m not sure if my beauty bag is exactly one quart, but TSA seems fine with it, so I’m good!

Since it is difficult to travel with perfume, I prefer a scented body cream which is easy to travel with and provides a nice fragrance. This scented body cream is perfect for travel and offers a powdery gourmand scent which I love wearing. I have to credit my daughter for showing me this body cream! It’s fabulous!

I also travel with minimal makeup and prefer powder foundation over liquid while I am on vacation. It’s one less liquid to deal with!

So, without further ado, here is what’ inside my travel beauty bag for winter 2025 and the holiday 2024 season:

Thanks for stopping by, and safe travels!
