Soon.

In November, I vow to:

-Get a massage and facial. Relax a little more. Make an effort to make frequent visits to the gym, if only for the pool and steam room.

-Finish all of my holiday shopping by Thanksgiving. And none of this “one for you, one for me” business. Whatever I want can be put on hold until the gifts I need to buy are wrapped and tucked neatly under the tree.

Current products I’m loving:

I just got a Clarisonic skincare brush and it’s pretty much amazing. I’m super oily with large pores (which are very congested…ugh) and occasional breakouts. After only using it three times my skin feels smoother and has more clarity. Bonus: Clarisonic has fantastic customer service. Mine refused to work when I first got it so I gave them a call and there was a new one on my doorstep within three days.

Ole Henriksen Rub n Buff Salt Scrub: this pretty much smells like heaven. Lemongrass and lavender oil scent this sea salt scrub…it almost seems to melt away worries…almost. It doesn’t replace a good aromatherapy massage session but it’s a must have for the DIY home spa.

Next week I’ll give Fresh Sake Bath another go and report my findings.
