Late Summer Beach Day Essentials.

Just because it's the end of August, it doesn't mean that I'm not still enjoying some days relaxing at the beach — summer is not over for another month! I love late summer beach days; the water is warmer here in the Northeast, and the beaches themselves are less crowded. I finally have my beach day routine down knowing which essentials are absolute musts.

Limited-Edition Dove Beauty Bars.

There is nothing more iconic than the Dove Beauty Bar. To celebrate all the women who inspire us in our daily lives, Dove is changing its look for the first time in nearly sixty years — this is HUGE. For a very limited time, Dove Beauty Bars will be engraved with a word to symbolize the impact women have on the world. I think this makes the Dove Beauty Bar even more iconic and a must-have.

Last Minute Gift Idea: Spa in a Basket.

/

It's almost Christmas! If you are like me, you are probably still scrambling for some last minute gifts and you are probably running out of ideas AND time. Well, I have a fun gift idea that any girl will love! 

As I regularly turn my bathroom into my very own little sanctuary and DIY spa, I am creating some unique spa in a basket gifts to share with some special girls in my life. They are fun and super easy to create. I know these gifts will be useful as EVERYONE wants soft, smooth skin this winter!

As I want everybody to step out renewed, refreshed and ready to take on the day, my Spa in a Basket includes products from Dove. I selected Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash and the Dove White Beauty Bars as these are SO good for the cold winter months and very nourishing for the skin. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash is one of my everyday favorites and I love using it on my DIY spa night. This body wash makes my skin super soft and smooth after just one shower. It's a really mild formula but it has a super rich lather that I simply love; it's really luxe feeling. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash provides skin with more natural nourishment than most body washes and it rinses quickly and cleanly. And everyone knows about the classic Dove White Beauty Bars. With 1/4 moisturizing cream and mild cleansers, the Dove White Beauty Bar leaves skin ultra soft and smooth.

The best thing about my Spa in a Basket is that the products can be easily found at stores near you — no heading out into the crowded mall. I picked up my Dove favorites from Sam’s Club and put them into a crate that I bought at my local craft store. Buying the large packs at Sam's Club, I can create a few gifts at once and have left overs for my own shower. Dove Deep Moisture Body Wash comes in packs of 3 and Dove White Beauty Bars come in packs of 16! I bundled these nourishing bath and body products with other products that I use to create my shower sanctuary and put them in the Spa in a Basket as well. I included a few candles, a bath pouf, a loofa and exfoliating shower gloves. Voilá!

Stop by your local Sam’s Club to pick up the Dove products you love.
