What’s Sexy Now? Victoria’s Secret Summer Spa Day
Last week, I spent a glorious balmy spring day poolside at the swanky Mr. C Beverly Hills Hotel for the Victoria’s Secret What’s Sexy Now Summer Spa Day
Enjoying this fabulous poolside soiree with Bren & Jenn
I adore this type of fun and girlie event because it totally gets me in the mood for summer. This was a beautifully organized event where we sipped deelish fresh fruit juice cocktails, were pampered with Bombshell hairstyling

Got make-up touch ups with the latest VS glow worthy products and indulged in relaxing mani’s & pedi’s–I opted for a FAB foot massage instead

Spreading The Love This Mother’s Day Courtesy of AVON
Being a Brand Ambassador for AVON has it perks as you might imagine, and using my influence to bring joy to others is truly what makes my heart smile. So I had an inspired idea that I brought to AVON a month or so ago, that I would like to select a handful of women who are mothers and are very special to me, and gift each of them with their own personally curated assortment of my favorite Avon products in honor of Mother’s Day. I especially like the idea of gifting AVON products because they have such a vast selection of amazing products that are very affordable and high quality. Fun idea right?
So here is a glimpse of the lovely gift bags I sent out
And here are some of my favorite AVON products that I included in these special gift bags:
ANEW GENICS Treatment Cream ($38)
ANEW GENICS Eye Treatment ($36)
ANEW CLINICAL Resurfacing Expert Smoothing Fluid ($38)
Foot Works Beautiful Marine Salt Hydrating Balm ($5)
Jillian Dempsey for Avon Professional Perfect Eyes Kit in Smokey Eye ($9)
OUTSPOKEN by Fergie Eau de Parfum Spray ($30)
And who are these special women and amazing mothers that I sent these wonderful gifts to, you ask? Well, of course my own amazing mother, my two sisters-in-law whose mothering I respect and admire, my very dear friend who recently became a mother for the first time after 40, my dear cousin who is an amazing mother and recently got divorced and one of my favorite mommy bloggers whom I respect and admire.
I wanted to wish these special women a spectacular Mother’s Day and wanted them to know how special they are to me and how much I respect and admire each and every one of them as women and for being the beautiful mothers that they are.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY TO ALL
THE AMAZING MOTHERS
ENJOY & CELEBRATE!
Disclosure: I wanted to extend a special thank you to AVON for being such an amazing brand to work with and for allowing me to send out these wonderful gift bags to the special women in my life!

Sanuk shoes are super cute, fun and crazy comfortable! They are a new rival for my beloved Havaianas which is saying alot! I just love this circular rubber strap with black bling, comfy and chic at the same time. This will make a great vaca shoe that you can wear on the beach or for evening cocktails.
