A Chic ScentThere are plenty of things that attract the opposite sex, however one the most important things is scent. Two of our new favorite scents that launched recently is the fruity oriental fragrance by Salvatore Ferragamo called Signorina Misteriosa and Ralph Lauren's Love that blends luscious red apple, sweet cotton candy, and intoxicating rose.
Love by Sofia Vergara on the other hand blends mandarin, green apple and orange blossom for a scent that is perfect for a Summer day. Our last favorite for Summer is Hugo Boss Woman which contains notes of white lilies, crisp apples, sweet peaches and berries for a fresh sweet scent! |

Our top pick is from Herschel Supply Company's Dawn Collection which was just recently launched!

It's the perfect bag for a day on the beach or a visit to the park!

SEXY HairEveryone wants SEXY hair, but it's hard to achieve the perfect waves or a sleek straight look without the RIGHT tools.

With these tools you will be styling your hair to a SEXY new look!

One of our favorites is the MaskerAide line of eco-friendly hydrating facial sheet masks! They have six different mask formulations that are drenched in vitamins and nutrients and are perfect for every skin type. For a powerful age-defying overnight treatment check out June Jacobs Age Defying Ultimate Overnight Copper Marine Masque.
