Sweeeeeet SPOT

There really are so many products out there and very expensive ones at that. It gets overwhelming and confusing especially when you get into skin. But there seems to be a lack of private part cleansers! I mean, what soap, gel, body wash are you really supposed to use? The only option seems to be some gel wash from the same company that makes douche. I mean, come on people... DOUCHE! There has to be something better... and there is. Last summer I came across a product which was highly recommended to me as a feel good, super rad marketing, super great product. I don't really indulge in these but thought to give it a shot. I mean, Life is really about experimenting after all. We experiment, we learn, we accpet or reject and move on. Accept this one: Sweet Spot Labs makes some products that have a way to make you feel awesome in your shower or not and they won't break the bank. The product you ask? Yes the product:
In the Shower:
Gentle Wash - Spot Fresh
AROMA NO. 14 geranium lavender


Use it as a daily cleanser for your privates. Totally gentle, completely effective and just simply awesome. I even think your guy will try it out, and like it- though he might want the unscented edition. It's a little bottle that will last a while.

On the Road:
On-the_Go_Wipettes
AROMA NO. 14 geranium lavender



Each are 12 bucks, treat yourself, feel awesome and experiment often.

MAKING SCENTS

By: BFFstace

Say bye bye to icky winter skin woes and hello EO.
This is not that so-so stuff you got sucked into buying a few months back at the at the ol Nordies cosmetic counter from that bugger is it a guy or a girl salesperson in black.

Before I leak the 411 on the goods, let's get two thing straight:
1. Yes I graduated from UC Berkeley and NO I am not a hippie.
2. I am not your average beauty product hooker--I don't play beauty magazines and I don't think what's right for me is right for you.

I like what I like, I don't change products and I keep it simple. Because at the end of the we all know beauty lies within and the rest is just extra. And you shouldn't have to pay big bucks for simple pretty.

so here we go
my 22 or less must have :
EO Pure Rose and Chamomile Serum $19.99

it's not thin and watery it's just the right consistency and smells pretty. It's a serum, like serum should be, The bottle also has a nice pump that works and the size is itty bitty and just right. It has a lot of all that stuff you want in a serum antioxidant this and that , Vitamin A , C and maybe it helps me get my pretty on or not at the end of the day it feels luscious going on.

EO Body Quencher$14.99

For me it's daily bath over shower, even if it's a quickie 15 min dip. I love to squeeze a good swirl of EO body quencher into the bath spread it all over sit let it all soak up and exit the bath super moisturized. soft and smelling yummy. It also has all these good for you ingredients in it Antioxidant-rich with a powerful blend of Vitamins A & EPure, cold-pressed Safflower & Sweet Almond Oils from Spectrum Naturals



So I'm not green as I might like to be, in all honesty the whole hippe green , be a zealot, vegan, vegetarian, clogs thing freaks me out personally . I mean I don't separate the cans from the paper religiously or compost or any of that but I do have and follow the protocol of the color coded trash bins provided to me by Los Angeles County. So I do what I can and will definitely aim to do better. EO is green, very green. Beyond saving the earth and all that politically correct stuff companies are trying to do and be just because AL Gore made a movie.

EO has been doing all the right stuff you're supposed to do operating a business in todays concerning world for over 10 years. The big boss over there keeps it real, works hard, is compassionate, stubborn and really just focuses on creating good, pure yummy stuff. I can get with that kind of green.

With shipping...well I don't have to tell you that a girl on a budget can afford a bag of grits every now and then...helps her SAVE for the really expensive bags like Channel....

Sticky Situation...

LOVE THIS!
At first I didn't think this would even come close to working. But I wanted to give it a try because in my car, there isn't a great place to put my little phone. I can never hear it while Jay-Z is blaring and I can't see it because it is usually rolling around in the passenger seat with a bottle of water. Solution: I invested in the cute little smart pad to see if it would hold my prescious little link to the world. I threw it up on the dash- front and center... and yes. It did hold, and it does work! Yippeee! My BFF even throws her blackberry up there when she jumps in the car. It can hold both phones, quite easily- and its fun to watch them go off together. Some won't like its abilty to attract dust, but you can wash it with soap and water and it still works. Enjoy! You can get it at ContainerStore or Amazon. $9.99

Welcome to 22 or less!

One of my most favorite hobbies is surfing the internet and using Google to find the coolest deals on the planet (or those who ship to the US- and hopefully free with a coupon). I decided to start this blog as a creative outlet and to share with my friends and family and just about anyone looking for the ultra cool stuff online at a price below 22 bucks.
