Laline is a fabulous bath and body product line. The collection offers refreshing fragrances combined with amazing bath products; which results in a squeaky clean, relaxing result. Love that!

Laline’s collection is made from natural ingredients fused together with innovative research and science. All of the products are high quality and offer amazing results. Laline’s fragrances and essential oils are sourced in the Provence region of France. The mineral salts are sourced from the Dead Sea. Laline is also a cruelty-free company; how fabulous is that!

I tested out the Body Scrub, Hand Cream, and Bath & Body Bubble. The body scrub was a-ma-zing! It gently cleansed, and scrubbed, my skin leaving a smooth result. The Ocean scent offered a refreshing fragrance experience which is ideal in moderate to warm weather. It will be so cooling in the summer!

I fell in love with Laline;s hand cream. The nourishing formula left my hands perfectly moisturized without leaving a greasy film. This is key! The Coconut Verbana scent instantly transported me to a tropical island. This is hands-down my favorite fragrance!

The Bath & Body Bubble is a great way to get squeaky clean and relax at the same time. It is so great, that my two daughters stole the bottle from me; they love it so much!  The vanilla pink pepper scent is sweet with a little bit of a peppery zing. I love the fragrance, and my daughters do too!

Laline has bath and body products for kids, men, women, and the home. They have such an amazing array of fragrant products! Laline is also a great place to find a gift, especially with Mother’s Day coming up. 

Visit Laline shops in San Francisco on Chesnut Street, at Pier 39, and at Fisherman’s Wharf. Directions and details online here.

Mother’s Day Gift Ideas at Santana Row

Mother’s Day 2015 is fast approaching, this means it is time to not only buy the ideal gift for Mom, but plan the entire day! Why not spend Mother Day 2015 at Santana Row! You can start the day off with a fabulous Mother’s Day brunch. I highly recommend LB Steak, Left Bank, and Village California Bistro. They have amazing brunch menus for Mother’s Day and the food is always fabulous. 

After brunch, why not take a stroll around Santana Row for some shopping, and then enjoy dessert at Cocola. They have an amazing array of sweet treats as well as coffee, tea, and yummy hot cocoa. All of that eating, shopping, and walking can be tiring. This means it is time to treat Mom to something special and relaxing! Why not book a relaxing spa day at Burke Williams!

No Mother’s Day is complete without a fabulous dinner after a relaxing day at the spa. Why not treat Mom to a beautiful dinner at Sino, Straits, or Blowfish Sushi! These three restaurants are personal favorite’s of mine. They offer chic decor, and delicious cuisine. Love that!
