DevaCurl B’Leave-In
I use this whenever I want my hair curly without any stiffness. You put it on wet hair, and it helps you retain curl and controls a bit of the frizz (though I also use a bit of John Frieda Frizz Ease once my hair has dried). Keeps your hair soft, and smells nice and clean too. Thumbs up.

True Blue Spa Suddenly Sauna
She pours tap water inside these disposable mitts and booties, and they heat up. Then she glops on the moisturizer, slips her hands and feet inside, and waits for the heat to help her skin absorb the moisture. Like a day spa, but she can watch TiVo while it works.

Sweet Nothings Goat Milk Creme
A mom and daughter team hand makes these skin products from the milk of their very own goat herd in California.
They have a whole line of soaps and ointments, but I’m partial to their face cream. It’s light but nourishing, and meant for use day or night. Also, it smells like candied orange peels and rosemary. Phthalate free, Paraben free, no animal testing, hooray.

Foam Hand Wash, Ginger Brgmt, 9.5 oz
Why I love this excellent hand soap:
-It’s green, non-toxic, biodegradable, and so forth. -The pretty bottle has a peel-off label, and you can buy eco-friendlier refills in big jugs. -It has an herbal, gender neutral scent that combines well with cooking smells if you want to use it in the kitchen. -It’s foamy, so my little guy thinks it’s cool.
Give it a go, you’ll like it.

Neutrogena MoistureShine Soothing LipSheers

Pyhtovolume Shampoo
There was this one year when I was supposed to spend $100 a month on household goods. I used coupons for as much as I could and scraped together enough so I could buy this expensive shampoo guilt free.
I have ridiculously baby-fine hair and this shampoo bulks it up. It also makes me smell delicious.

Bed Head Control Freak Hair Straightener
I have curly hair, specifically, I have frizzy curly hair. A little bit of this stuff, and I can use my curling iron to get smooth, straight hair like all the cool girls. Just a little though, too much and your hair is a gunky, sticky mess. Of course, that means it lasts longer. Score.

Clarins Self Tanning Gel
I am pale, pale, pale. I can see by my own glow in the night.
This gel evens out my skin tone and makes me look like I’m wearing base and a little bronzer all the time. It’s easy to apply, the color is totally natural, and I only use it on my face and shoulders, so it lasts forever.
Remember to wash your hands after applying or your suspiciously tan palms will blow your cover.

Sharps Guck in a Puck
This makes a great gift because lots of men won’t buy themselves fancy grooming products. My friend Pete has been looking for some good hair styling gel, so I asked him to check out this cream intstaed. Here’s what he said:
“I like it a lot. I am very picky about this stuff too. I hate difficult-to-use, greasy hair products, many of which leave my scalp feeling nasty (read oily) after application. This particular product is great because it doesn’t require gobs and gobs to get desired results, most importantly hold and manageability. It doesn’t feel overly greasy or oily either, and it’s versatile in that I’ve tried it dry with wet hair or wet with dry hair (I wet it with just a few drops of water making it really easy to use.) And it smells good dammit.”

Philosophy Pure Grace Soap and Water Set
My friend Sarah treats herself to this scent set, because she has a thing about soap.
She says, “I am obsessed with smelling clean. I don’t want to smell like flowers or fruit or any of that teenage stripper bullshit; I want to smell like I just stepped out of the shower, all day long.”
And thanks to her secret weapon, she does.
