The weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area is finally starting to warm up! As the temperatures rise, we need to get our skin glowing. Thankfully, Borghese has a fabulous two-step skin care routine which will do exactly that! Fabulous!
Borghese’s Fango Active Duo detoxifies, and hydrates skin; making it glow just in time for the spring and summer seasons. The Fango Active mud mask is absolutely amazing. It purifies, hydrates, and firms up skin. I started using it one month ago, and it has really changed my skin. I cannot believe how fabulous, and clean it is! I used it twice per week to start with, and now, I am dropping to one day per week.
After using the face mask, the Fango Active Radiance Facial Oil is a great way to smooth out skin; as well as soothe, nourish, and restore lipids which can be lost over time. Although you only need to use it after the mud mask, I love it so much, I have found I enjoy using it everyday after I wash my face. I might need to have monthly deliveries of the Facial Oil!
The Borghese Fango Active Duo is must-have for clean, glowing spring skin. I would be lost without it!
Borghese Fango Active Duo can be found online here.
*This would also make a great Mother’s Day gift, or graduation gift!
Mother’s Day is approaching, this means it is time to think about finding that special something for your fabulous Mom! She has worked so hard for you your entire life, it is time to show her how much you appreciate, and love her, with the perfect Mother’s Day gift!
Santana Row is a fabulous place to go in order to find the perfect gift for Mom this upcoming Mother’s Day. It is also a great place to spend Mother’s Day with your Mom!
Start the day off right with a Mother’s Day brunch at Left Bank, or The Village Cafe; my two favorite brunch spots at Santana Row. After brunch, treat Mom to the fabulous gift you purchased for her right there on the Row! I have a few amazing gift ideas below to help you get your shopping done before the big day 😉
After you give her your gift, why not take Mom shopping! You can include a Santana Row gift card in your gift, or just take her shopping around the Row. After a day of shopping, why not relax at Burke Williams with a spa day! Mom will love it!
Now that Mom is relaxed, why not treat her to a chic dinner at Blowfish Sushi, Cielo, LB Steak, or Straights! After all, she deserves a day off from the kitchen! Now how’s that for an amazing Mother’s Day!

The wait is over! Derek Lam’s new perfume collection, the Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection is here! Not only was it worth the wait, it is heaven scent 😉
The gift set pictured above features ten beautiful fragrances from Derek Lam in travel size, or purse size, spray bottles. Aside from being TSA friendly, the gift set offers you the chance to either give the gift of scent, or treat yourself to all ten of Derek Lam’s new scent’s! I prefer the latter.
Derek Lam’s ten new fragrances were created by famed perfumers Clement Gavarry, Pascal Gaurin, Yves Cassar, and Laurent LeGuernec. They were inspired by the stories, and women, Derek Lam has observed outside his window on 10 Crosby Street. How fabulous, and storied, is that!
There is a scent for everyone in the Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection. In fact, you may find yourself drawn to more than one; or perhaps all ten! I know I am 🙂 Here are the beautiful, key fragrance notes for each scent:
Silent Street: White Musks
Looking Glass: Chinese Magnolia, Tonka Bean Madagascar
Although all ten of the scents in the Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection are fabulous, my favorites are “2am Kiss,” “Something Wild,” and “Rain Day.” These are the three I find myself reaching for first. I plan to take one with me to New York Fashion Week, but I don’t know which one to choose! I love them all!
The fragrances in the Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection are high quality eau de parfums. The fragrance lasts all day, so there is no need to respray during the day. Love that!
I am looking forward to choosing one of the EDP’s from the Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection for my travel beauty bag when I go to New York later this week; and for future trips! I am also looking forward to enjoying these fragrances on a daily basis. Perhaps my Mom will find a gift set on her brunch chair for this upcoming Mother’s Day 😉 Shhh, don’t tell her! It’s a surprise!
The Derek Lam 10 Crosby Fragrance Collection gift set can be found online here (under $100 + free shipping!). The EDP’s are also sold separately in full size bottles, which can be found online here. You will love them!
