Delfin Spa Cellulite Reduction Apparel and Anti-Cellulite Lotion Review

Everyone deals with cellulite. And no one is a fan of it.

We’ve written about coffee ground products like Gail’s DIY Coffee Scrub or isola Jamaican Coffee & Sugar Scrub, that are said to help minimize the appearance of cellulite due to the caffeine. Now there is another product system that helps to target cellulite while you also lose weight. It’s from Delfin Spa and the system is their Bio Ceramic shorts used in conjunction with their Anti-Cellulite cream.

Since I have both weight I need to lose and plenty of cellulite, I decided to give the shorts and cream a try.

In a nutshell, the way the Bio Ceramic lined neoprene shorts work is to contain your body heat while you work out. The result is targeting the areas where the shorts cover (for me that was slightly above my belly button down to my knees–basically where the majority of my cellulite is) to create an evenly distributed heat source that helps you to sweat out more toxins and aid in weight loss. I’ve seen friends in the fitness industry wrap their abs with plastic wrap to generate the same effect, but the Delphin Spa Bio Ceramic Shorts are a lot more attractive and a lot less messy.

Olivita Virgin Olive Oil Beauty Bar Review

There is nothing better than a fragrant bar of soap to lift your spirits in the shower. Of course, it’s made better when the beauty bar you are using is one made of 100% virgin olive oil.

An anti-inflammatory and high in antioxidants, virgin olive oil in skincare, is an ingredient that is nourishing to skin in need of moisture. I had the opportunity to try Olivita’s Virgin Olive Oil Artisan Soaps ($5.99), specifically the Uplifting Turkish Bath and Blissful Green Apple scents. Read more

Bath & Body Works Beautiful Day Review

It’s a Beautiful Day to pop into your local Bath & Body Works and test one of their newest and freshest scents! I visit Bath & Body Works pretty much every time I walk by the store in my local mall. (I’m sort of addicted to their Wallflowers!) I just can’t help myself because it seems like there’s always a new scent to try and who can resist?!

Bath & Body Works just launched Beautiful Day, a new fragrance for women. If you’re into the more fruity floral scents, you’re going to LOVE this one. For starters, I can’t even look at the label without singing U2’s “Beautiful Day,” that song instantly puts me in a great mood. (Are you singing it now? It’s hard not to, right?!) Read more

HARNN Asian Inspired Home Spa Products Review

From the packaging to the botanical fragrance, HARNN’s Asian inspired home spa products deliver an experience you’ll remember. HARNN is best known for focusing on the balance of body, mind, and environment through the use of natural botanical extracts with inspirations from traditional herbal medicine. HARNN boasts a handful of incredible collections and just welcomed a new member to the HARNN family … the Oriental Rose Collection. The Oriental Rose Collection is an antioxidant rich collection that really compliments the existing lines. I couldn’t wait to open the beautiful packaging when it first arrived.

The Oriental Rose Skin Purifying Body Scrub is a rich body scrub with all natural extracts from Certified Organic Rose Water, Apricot Seed, Shea Butter and Coenzyme Q10 to help replenish moisture, improve skin condition, and promote natural smoothness. I followed that up with the Oriental Rose Body Balm- a specially formulated body balm that truly absorbs almost instantly. The body balm also contains one of my favorite skin care musts, Certified Organic Rose Water! The Oriental Rose Collection is rejuvenating for both your body and your mind. The scent really did clear my over-worked, usually stressed out mind. Talk about aromatherapy! I was starting to see why HARNN prides itself on focusing on the balance of mind and body.

The neurotic moisturizer I am, I carried around HARNN’s Jasmine and Pomegranate hand cream until it was all gone. The first time I used it I kind of felt like I was in a dramatic television commercial because I literally closed my eyes and took it all in. I’m pretty sure, even though I was alone, I was smiling.
