Putting on the Spritz

Fresh & Light Body Mists to Beat the
City Heat

As the heat rises up from the cracks in the sidewalk at high noon and melts the fly look you took so much care putting together in the morning while you make a quick dash just for a light lunch, you wonder... is it worth it? Honey wait! Don’t give up your meal or your make up. Keeping a bottle of body mist in your purse, desk drawer or gym bag can cool you down with the quickness (not to mention the prevention of the evolution of funk, ‘cause we know that is so not cute). Here’s how to keep cool when you start to break a sweat: Spray your ankles and wrists and feel your body temperature drop almost immediately. You can also spray your face with the mists with all natural ingredients; just keep the bottle a good foot from your face and wear waterproof mascara (which you should be doing all summer anyway). These body mists are so light they will not over power and will blend nicely with summer’s new light and fruity fragrances.

 

Can I Get an Encore?

The Healing Garden Organics Wild Honey.
Ok, so we introduced the healing garden Organics wild honey products a couple of weeks ago, but this body mist is so ultra fab, we had to give it special attention. Perfect for after a workout or just when you're on the run. Safe enough for your face because there's no artificial stuff inside.

So Freesia and Clean

Bath & Body Works Signature Collection Freesia.
This delicate blend of baby freesia (freesia originates from Africa in the iris family), plum and grass (mmm, sounds nice right?) is simply sweet. The scent is not overbearing but it wears off quickly so keep it in your bag. The price is also sweet, so you can stock up.
