Scrubs, Lotions, and Other Products I May Never Find Again

While your boyfriend may be busy watching the Celtics (well, I am too, I just really hone in for the last ten minutes or so) you may be taking a luxurious shower and enjoying all of your favorite products. Deep conditioner, chocolate body scrub, and your favorite razor - and poof - your shower (draining perfectly or not) is suddenly a mini-spa. BUT - tonight I was shocked to find that I am running low on a few of my staple products!

First off - Kelemata Shampoo Alla Menta - my parents brought it back for me from their trip to Italy. They didn't really know what it was - but I am always eager to try European haircare products. This stuff is AMAZING. Not only has it made my hair much much better, it makes it so for 24 hours + ! Now, I'm running out, as I do with most things, much too fast. I can't find it anywhere, anywhere in English that is. If it were a french product maybe I'd have some luck translating the sites, but no luck with the Italian. HELP. This stuff is probably 5 Euro across the pond, but now I'll have to shell out for some Kerastase stateside that won't come close to doing the job.

Next up - another Italian product I most likely will never find again. It's called... "Crio - Impacco, Intensivo AntiCellulite - azione ultra rapida "effetto freddo" " So you probably couldn't read much of that except for the Cellulite. Yes, cellulite cream. And it's not just anything, it freezes your legs for at least an hour and has a smell of mint. And this stuff really works. Sorry to my male readers, who are living in a bubble thinking most women don't obsess about their cellulite. Kim Kardassssian has it. Now, use this Crio - Impacco, and follow up with some Nivea Good-bye Cellulite cream ... and you're one step closer to actually liking shorts. On second thought... no wait.. that's never going to happen for me.


Here's something I am using, that is working, that I can ultimately run out of and then find at the Walgreen's around the corner. Neutrogena Advanced Solutions - Skin polishing acne cleanser, complete with the day and night cream is really doing the trick. I've tried every cleanser there is on the Walgreen's wall and a few pricey items from Bloomingdale's and the like. For a girl like me, with troublesome summer skin, this is really working. They claim it works faster than ProActiv, I'm finding it to be true with less of those scratchy little grits of sand.

That's all for now - the last ten minutes of the Celtic's game are quickly approaching!
