My Diva Lounge

We’ve found another little gold mine out there for natural and botanically based products! Body & Spirit offers handmade, wonderfully decadent bath and body luxuries that EVERY Diva truly needs. We discovered them through a fellow Diva in Utah and have been hooked on their products ever since. Body & Spirit was twice named the Utah “Best of State” winner for best handcrafted items and now their lovely and delicious bath and body products are available for shipment nationwide through their online store at etsy.com. So what are our favorite picks? We have three favorite scents: Vanilla Gelato (rich, beautiful vanilla scent), Pink Sugar (beyond cotton candy), and Grapefruit Orange (for the Diva who wants to smell simply fresh, flirty, fruitful and edible). We highly recommend their Body Glow grape seed oil & sea salt body polish. This amazing, antioxidant-rich and vitamin-rich scrub will leave you feeling tingly and smooth! Next up, you’ll want to keep that smooth skin feeling soft, supple, and properly moisturized. For this, we recommend their decadent, paraben-free, vegan friendly “Body Yogurt”. Your skin has never felt better! This decadent, luxurious, ultra-rich body cream leaves your skin feeling silky-smooth and intensley moisturized without a heavy greasy feeling. Body & Spirit’s items are all hand prepared by a licensed aesthetician who makes each batch of products with the utmost of care. We are truly in love with their products and know you will be, too! Why not treat yourself to a little decadent pampering today? Visit their online store and place your order before the holiday rush sells them out of these fabulous Diva indulgences!

It’s breast cancer awareness month and we’ve found a few deals to help with the race for the cure. In a previous post, we raved about the new Blackberry Bold coming out. But for those of us who prefer a smaller “footprint” for our electronic necessities, there is a beautiful alternative which could also help to save lives. Telus introduced the Blackberry Pearl 8130 Smartphone in PINK and has teamed up with “Rethink Breast Cancer” to donate $25 from the sale of each phone to help breast cancer research. What better way to show off your Diva style than with a sleek, slim, pink Pearl which also gives back to an organization which helps young people who are affected by breast cancer through education, research, and support programs?

We also found (by browsing around for some of our favorite products online) that several eBay sellers are giving back to charities by donating portions of their proceeds from every sale. Our favorite eyelash conditioning serum underwent a thorough overhaul and I must admit, we were a bit concerned that the new formula would not work as well. It seems there was some big hullabaloo over whether or not prosteglandins are safe for use in cosmetics (as opposed to having to get a prescription), and Beauty Society (formerly Intuit Beauty) decided to pull the formula and reinvent our favorite product. We’re pleased to say that their new formula is better than ever, and now safe for use even by pregnant and nursing women. Our test members (and special thanks to Maddie) tried the new formula with great results, seeing lashes come in faster and grow more evenly. The new tube is twice the size, but don’t let that fool you - you’ll need to use it twice as often (use it morning and night now) for best results. Overall, it’s still a really great value, and the tube will still last you 2-4 months or longer, depending on how fanatical you are about use. We found that “thebeautysociety” on eBay is also giving 10% of proceeds back to the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation (whom they have partnered with in the past) on all purchases made through the listings they set up to help fight Breast Cancer. You can click here to go to one of their listings where you can buy Enormous Lash and a donation will be made to Susan G Komen. Beauty Society recently went 100% Paraben-Free with all their products (including Enormous Lash) and have been highlighted on the “Think Before You Pink” website as a result. Big Diva kudos to our Diva sisters at Beauty Society for their efforts toward the cause. Our “MyDivaLounge” coupon still works on their BestLash.com website for those of you within the US who want free shipping on your online orders.

We’re also urging all our Divas to visit the Breast Cancer Site daily (or as often as they can) to help give underprivileged women free mamograms. Simply visit the site, and click on the button that says “Click Here to Give”. It’s free, it’s easy, and it’s simply the Diva thing to do!
