OK, as you know, I am a sucker for a fabulous, scented body cream or body butter. It not only is an understated way of wearing fragrance, but scented body cream is a great way to moisturize skin. Love!
Sol de Janeiro Delicia Drench Body Butter is a warm and spicy gourmand fragrance slash skin care product. Like the “Bom Dia Bright Cream” travel size body cream found in my travel beauty bag, the Delicia Drench Body Butter goes on smoothly without leaving a streak and instantly moisturizes my skin. Love that!
Since I love using body cream or body butter as an alternative to wearing perfume, I have several on rotation at the same time; just in case you are wondering why I am reviewing so many different body cream brands and scents. I feel like you can’t own just one! Variety is the spice of life. So, if you like a warm and spicy gourmand scent, this may be the body butter for you too.
Stanford Shopping Center hosted a fabulous beauty brunch over the weekend for local bloggers such as myself. This beautiful event included a delicious catered meal from Fleming’s Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar near Bloomingdale’s. There was also chocolate from Laderach Chocolatier Suisse which was equally delicious. Yum!
The event was intimate with roughly seven shops from Stanford Shopping Center showcasing beauty products and two tables of local bloggers. It was so much fun to meet new local bloggers as well as speak to people in person who I normally only interact with on social media. I love a good party!!
In addition to yummy food and being social, we were able to check out some new and existing beauty products from our favorite shops at Stanford Shopping Center. I fell in love with the Guerlain perfume from Neiman Marcus. I’m trying to decide if I would like to purchase the “Patchouli Paris” or the “Feve Gourmande” as my fall season fragrance. They are both so pretty!
You know me, I love Chanel beauty! Bloomingdale’s showcased their Chanel N 1 collection which includes a must-have mist. I definitely feel like I need to add this line to my beauty routine. Love!
If you have been following along, you know I also love Estee Lauder products. My travel beauty bag is filled with skin care from Estee Lauder because their products are perfect for reviving my skin when I travel. They have new night cream we can use in conjunction with their Advanced Night Repair line. I am obsessed!
Sephora at Stanford Shopping Center showcased skin care from Drunk Elephant which is vegan and improves skin’s firmness. I definitely want to test out their products.
Nordstrom showcased products from Bobbie Brown and I discovered they have an amazing vitamin enriched face base primer which is perfect for my GenX skin. I am definitely adding this to my morning skin care routine. Love it!
Lastly, Dry Bar was also showcasing their services. They are the perfect one-stop-shop for a blowout when you have a special occasions, big event, or just want fabulous hair for the day. Love that!

The summer season is upon us, this means travel plans are underway! One of the big things to keep stocked and ready to go is a tsa approved beauty bag. You don’t want to be caught needing beauty products in travel sizes the day you are packing for a big trip!
I keep my travel beauty bag ready for air travel at all times. As soon as something runs out, I replace it so my beauty bag is ready for my next plane trip. If you are traveling by car you may not need tsa approved travel bottles, but the plus side is that they take up less space in your luggage! Love that!
This beauty bag is the perfect size for storing all of your tsa approved, under 3.4 oz bottles. You can see my full review here. It has a place for brushes, and a few handy pockets which can keep your little travel bottles organized.
I don’t travel with liquid perfume, so scented body cream is my travel fragrance. It also doubles as a way to wear fragrance as well as moisturize your skin after a drying plane ride, and over-airconditioned hotel room. Scented body cream is a must-have in my book! This tsa approved bottle is perfect for a vacation.
Skin care is important while traveling since the change in climate from your hometown can wreak havoc on your skin. I love ReVive skin care products since they always keep my skin even and in check. I highly recommend their travel kit pictured above!

Also, don’t forget to throw a good, old-fashioned Chapstick in your beauty bag. You will be thankful you have it on your trip; especially if you travel by plane!
