a steaming way to pack

More times than not, when packing for a trip, I find that the clothing I'm packing is creased and wrinkled.  A solution dry cleaners?  

My solution...

What does b* say?

I actually find ironing therapeutic so I never really saw the need to steam.  But one day, I was at Janie and Jack getting C and G some Church close, and I watched one of the sales gals iron out a crease in the back of shirt I purchased and from then on I was hooked.  It is easy, heats up fast, and take wrinkles out even faster.  Plus you don't need to hassle with an ironing board.  This may not be the nicest steamer but it gets my jobs done!

Some time steaming or ironing clothing can waft an unpleasant smell.  I like to spray this on my clothes prior to prevent that.

MARC JACOBS SPLASH - COTTON, 
Like fresh linens on a laundry line blowing softly in the warm summer wind, Cotton has airy top notes of fresh linen breezes and liquid oxygen, infused with peach and crisp citrus mandarin, orange, and bergamot accords. The heart of this fragrance is made up of the brand new Marc Tee signature accord, captured from an actual Marc Jacobs t-shirt, mixed with cotton flower and fresh lavandin notes wrapped up with lily of the valley. The dry-down of this fresh fragrance is a blend of cotton musk, smooth white suede, rich sandalwood, and blonde woods.

Price: $65.00

Where can I get it?

Sephora

What does b* say?

This is what I imagine heaven smelling like!  Clean and fresh.  I spray this on my linens preferably right out of the dryer. 

PS - Am a huge fan of this in flight WiFi.  2 thumbs up for delta.  But I am going to take one thumb back because they charge to much for bags! 

My Most Favorite Body Firming Emulsion

{fav}

"Philosophy's Amazing Grace body firming emulsion"  is a must have product! The bottle states that it "conditions and helps stabilize moisture levels of dry skin - firming agents help revitalize aged and wrinkled skin - protects and maintains skin integrity - antioxidant rich with vitamin c and e ".  I think it is neat that each of Philosophies products come whit a Philosophy... hence the name.  

What is Amazing Grace's firming body emulsions philosophy: the natural aging process causes the soft tissues of our faces and bodies to begin to descend. our eyebrows frown, our lids droop, our eyes appear hollow, our noses and ears larger, and our jawbone is less defined. as for our breasts, bellies and our buttocks, it's no different. we can fight the process, or we can yield to losing our bodies, gaining our souls and finding our grace.

What does B* say?

I fell in love with the fragrance before I even knew that it was a firming lotion!  Mama B's bestie happened to be wearing it and I was completely beguiled by it's fresh, clean, floral sent.   Once again I found it Nordstrom {the department stores in this area are lacking, to say the least.}  I purchased the perfume spray, fragranced hand cream, and the body firming emulsion.  I tried them all but fell in love with the emulsion because of the philosophy and I think the scent in the emulsion is better than in the hand lotion.  I have not noticed the firming agent as much as I have noticed the moisture that it provides for my skin.  I have had many complements on the scent, it is long lasting and not overpowering!  I use the lotion on C and G and it is absolutely tantalizing!!

Like I said... This is a must have product for you and your kids!
