One if the most fantabulous things about the Philosophy fragrances are that you can layer them. Fragrance over fragrance, over shampoo, shower gels, or moisturizers. Anywhere you wear them, particularly any of the "grace" fragrances, will leave you smelling super sweet, and fresh. Never, ever overly done.

In case you do not know of the Philosophy Grace scents, let me introduce them to you.

Amazing Grace
The original grace fragrance is Amazing Grace. This scent is a very light and feminine blend of soft, floral blossoms. With a hint of musk, more noticeable on some people than others, this scent is an everyday fresh and airy choice.

Pure Grace
Like almost the prettiest smelling soap and water, clean and fresh, this scent is not like any other I have used in a fragrance. The fresh blossoms in this scent are lighter and the musk more clean, almost crisp.

Inner Grace
This is another very soft floral scent. Light and fresh, like sniffing blossoms through the air. This one is the lighter and almost more "girly" of the scents.

Baby Grace
If you want to conjure up thoughts of a baby or want to smell like the most pure and innocent, cleanest of bambinos, then this one is for you. I love this scent, and I have yet to meet someone who doesn’t. It almost evokes calm and memories of childhood right after spraying.

You can mix and match any of the scents to make them lighter or more floral. And as everyone is unique, every combination is as well. On the weekends, I love to use the Baby Grace perfumed body lotion, layering it with one spray of the fragrance and then dab the Pure Grace on my pulse points. Dreamy!

Shower for the Cure is Philosophy's Pink-Ribbon Shower Gel, specially formulated for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

You know the famous creamy all-in-one formula that can be used as a shampoo, bath or shower gel, right? Well, this one is lightly scented with a clean tangerine scent with a touch of millk. Yum! 

100% of the Philosophy proceeds from the Shower for the Cure Pink Ribbon Shower Gel are donated to the Women's Cancer Research Fund.

You can grab this wherever Philosophy is sold. 

Are you as hot as I am? I know I am not the only one looking for different ways to feel cool and refreshed.

Philosophy has some empowering products that will leave us both cool and refreshed. All you have to do is jump in the shower and use these:

Empowermint Body Mask ($25), Hot Salt Scrub ($25), and Body Butter ($25) will not only make you feel refreshed, it will instantly cool your skin, leaving it almost tingly. And I don't even think I need to mention how hydrating Philosophy's products are, so you know how soft and smooth your skin will feel after using them.

Check these empowering products at Philosophy.com, Nordstrom, QVC, or Sephora.

Ahh...refreshing! 

I have been asked by many readers who do not tan or self-tan, what to use for a temporary, instant tan for an event. Besides makeup bronzers, I have found some great products for the entire body that will have you bronzed and beautiful in just a few minutes. And the benefit of these bronzers, is that with a scrubbie and soap and water, they will be gone!

 
Benefit Cosmetics has Jiffy Tan, which is perfect for the legs. It is a bit of a darker shade with a bit of shimmer, so I would only suggest using it on the legs. It glides on evenly and smoothly and lasts through a long hard day. You have to be careful to take the time to wash hands immediately after applying, as it will leave your palms stained and messy.

Philosophy has a nice body tint in a tube called The Big Skinny, which is actually a tinted body shaper in a tube. Why a body shaper? Because this instantly makes you appear more slender with the look of glowing skin, from a healthy, instant tan. It is very moisturizing and slides on very easily. This cream only takes a few minutes to try, so blending is simple, quick, and easy. The results are great and this can be used all over. Remember to wash you hands right after applying as well.

Lastly, there is a bronzing gel, that is very lightweight from Becca. This Translucent Bronzing Gel instantly gives the body a healthy, light glow. Not a deep dark tan, but a nice sheer golden tan. This bronzing gel spread out quickly and easily too, and is appropriate to where all over the body. And it is so nice and light, with no smell, that I suggest it for men too.

All of these are also great for evening out a bad self-tanning job as well - I bet you never thought of that, did you? Stop scrubbing away the mistakes and even them out - even if it is only temporary.

It is pretty safe to say, that whichever you choose, you will be quickly transformed from a snow bunny to a golden summer, bronzed goddess.

I think my Mother is absolutely amazing. She is probably the least selfish person I know. Always kind. Giving. Thoughtful. And always there to lend support to those that want it. I am truly inspired by her, and still to this day, wish I could keep up with her! She is so full of life, energy, and love. She is simply amazing - one of a kind.

So, what do I give my most Amazing Mom for Mother's Day? Amazing Grace Mother's Day Gift Set from Philosophy.

I love the entire fragrance line of Philosophy, and I recently got Mom hooked on Amazing Grace, so she should be thrilled to get this wonderful set. 

This Amazing Grace Gift Set includes an Amazing Grace spray fragrance, Amazing Grace shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath,  Amazing Grace perfumed body firming emulsion and an Amazing Grace shimmer powder puff with the lightest scent of Amazing Grace with a hint of sparkle.

Mother's Day better hurry up and get here or I just might be over come with temptation and open this beauty up for myself.

Philosophy has created one of their favorite formulas, their 3-in-1 shampoo, bubble bath, and shower gel, in memory of the late and great, Dana Reeve. Dana Reeve was the wife of the late Christopher Reeve. And the title of this product exemplifies who Dana was, in person and in spirit. Inner Grace.

Inner Grace is one of the best smelling, clean, yet fresh and pretty scents, I have ever smelled. It is a softer, less musky version of Amazing Grace. I hope it is added as a regular product, with hopefully lotion and perfume from the company soon. That is how much I adore this scent.

You should all know by now how much I love, love, love Philosophy and their great products. Besides Purity, the cleanser I swear by and use each and every day, my second favorite is their 3-in-1 Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath. These come in a multitde of scents. Some pretty, some clean, and some quite yummy.

The latest 3-in1's are both very yummy limited edition scents. How do these sound? Butter Cream Frosting & Red Velvet Cake. I am sure you mouth is watering by now. The scents are dead on, and are equally nice when layered, just like the real thing.
