No games I want you excluuusive..

Hey pumpkins,
Sorry, I'm just over the moon for Big Mike!!! So enjoying the ballad version of "Exclusive" by the way...those boys should send Jodeci a humble thank-you note, no?

Yes, I'm a 32 year old woman who loves Making the Band. I also love the beach. I am SUCH a beach person. I'll never understand why Beyonce and Jay Z aways look so maligned in their South of France paparazzi shots. My jaunt to Cape Hatteras (in North Cackalacky's Outer Banks...look into it) last week was the vacation version of Coldstone ice cream. Heaven! And my feet are THRILLED. As faithful SYB'ers are well aware, my feet are mad, bad, and dangerous to know. Especially in the summertime, with my dry heels and troublesome Pavement Toe (you know, the long second toe that hangs over your sandals and gets all crusty?). One of the first things I always do during a beach vacay is treat my tootsies with a serious sand exfoliation. Sounds lah-di-dah, but really the treatment simply consists of me stomping down the beach on the wet, hard sand...you know, really digging my heels in. It looks spastic, but my feet end up shockingly soft. For years, I've tried to find a product that reproduces this effect--anything other than pumice scrubs, I HATE those...too ticklish--and a couple months ago I finally zeroed in on a fabulous candidate. C.O. Bigelow Smoothing Body Buffer ($14) is packed with these divine peppermint sugar crystals that buff rough, Hammertime skin to a gleaming, baby-soft finish...without getting all scratchy, in the process. And it leaves your feet feeling all cool and tingly! Hats off to the C.O. Bigelow team for developing an exfoliating scrub infused with all the tingly-minty goodness of their cult-hit lip balm, C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine ($7.50)! And girls, if you haven't yet tried the Genius Mentha, your lips are so mad at you right now.
xoxo,
Tia
