This Citrusy, Tangy-Scented Jurlique Body Wash Makes My Shower Feel (and Smell!) Like a Fancy Spa

One of my longest-running obsessions? Shower gel. I've been a faithful shower gel and body wash user since I was in high school and first discovered the magic of Caress. As I've gotten older, that love has only deepened, to the point that I have an entire rack of my three-tiered shower caddy dedicated solely to shower gels. At any given time, I have about 6-8 different ones at the ready. (What can I say, I like options!) And one of my current favorites? Jurlique Restoring Shower Gel in Lemon, Geranium & Clary Sage.

Whip. Flip. LOVE! Olay Foaming Whip Body Wash

Body wash is kind of my obsession. At any given time, I probably have about 18 different body washes in my shower. No joke. No exaggeration. Yes, you read that right. 18. What can I say, I like choices! But now that Olay Foaming Whip Body Wash is out there in the world, I’m pretty sure some of those other body washes will be falling by the wayside, oh, I don’t know … immediately if not sooner.

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink: Dial Silk & Magnolia Restoring Body Wash

I'm back! Finally! I still don't know how often I'll be posting, because to be quite honest, my ankle surgery was a lot more invasive than I originally thought it would be. It's taken a lot out of me and I'm still trying to get back in the swing of things, especially since I'm currently on bed rest at my mom's house in Cleveland instead of back in my apartment in Los Angeles. But I'm doing my best to continue to update The Beauty of Life and I definitely appreciate you all sticking with me while I (quite literally) get back on my feet. Let's kick things off with this glorious addition to On Wednesdays We Wear Pink: Dial Silk & Magnolia Restoring Body Wash.

My Top 6 Summer Beauty Must Haves

I don't know about you, but sticky summer temperatures make me reach for a whole different set of beauty products. And, if I'm really being honest here? They make me reach for a whole lot LESS. There's nothing I hate more than hair on my neck and makeup on my face when it's over 80 degrees. (That pic above? It's me in all my summer glory, during my recent vacation to Martha's Vineyard.) These XXX products are the ones that are getting me through this summer in style.

Blowing Raspberries: The Body Shop Early-Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel

I don't know about you, but I am SERIOUSLY ready for summer to be here and STAY here. This past winter was brutal, #amiright? In any case, I'm totally digging The Body Shop Early-Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel, which has me in the mood to drink smoothies and lay in a hammock all day long.

This shower gel is just as divine as every other one The Body Shop makes. It smells sweet but not cloying, it creates a rich lather, and it makes my skin feel silky smooth. Seriously, what's not to love?

Now all I need is for 80 degree temperatures to stick around. Oh, and for someone to bring me a smoothie.

The Body Shop Early-Harvest Raspberry Shower Gel retails for $8 at thebodyshop.com.

How Sweet: Caldrea Essential Collection Mango Lily Body Wash

Pass the Salt: H20+ Spa Sea Salt Body Wash

I have what some people may consider an obsession with salt. Frankly, if my food doesn't have a ton of salt in it, I don't want to eat it. (And yes, I know how bad it is for me.) So I think you can imagine how excited I was to try out H20+ Spa Sea Salt Body Wash.

Throwback Thursday: My First Shower Gel (Hint: it's by Caress)

Pink Lady: Bath & Body Works Pink Chiffon Shower Gel

When I was a sophomore in college, I worked at Bath & Body Works. I'd been a fan of their shower gels for years, and I figured what better way to get them than with a 30 percent discount? (Don't judge me, I was a poor college student.) Well, if Pink Chiffon Shower Gel had existed back then, I would have gone bankrupt.

I'm Right On Top Of That, Rose: The Top 10 Rose Scented Products for Valentine's Day

The rose has always been my favorite flower. I love every iteration, every color (especially peach roses) ... and not because it's the flower of romance, which, if I'm being honest, would make it much less appealing to me. No, it's just because the rose is a thing of pure and utter beauty, from its petals to its lush, heady scent. And, since Valentine's Day is this week, what better time is there to laud some of the best rose-scented beauty products? (Plus, I just love referencing one of my favorite 80s movies of all time, Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead.) Keep reading to see which 10 rose-scented beauty products made the list.

Violet, You're Turning Violet, Violet! The Body Shop Blueberry Shower Gel

One of my favorite books growing up was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I loved everything Roald Dahl wrote (Matilda, The Twits and The BFG are also among my very favorites), but there's just something unique about this story. And, if I'm being honest, every time I come across blueberries, I just can't help but think of Violet Beauregarde and the famous line referenced in the title of this post -- "Violet, you're turning Violet, Violet!" So it's really no wonder that this happened when I started using The Body Shop Blueberry Shower Gel.
