A pinch o' salt

Hey Sweeties,
How was your weekend? I spent mine by the pool at La Cabezas Compound, having a "diving board tricks" competition with my plucky seven-year-old niece, Victoria. Now, usually when I visit Adam's parents' casa, I like to lay out on a beach chair nibbling on dark purple grapes (I like to peel the skin off and pop 'em in my mouth like bonbons) and reading biographies of vintage Hollywood divas (this was Natalie Wood week) while Adam, his bros, and the kids frolic in the pool. Frequently, there are waterguns involved and I'm having NONE of that. But this time, Victoria said "Aunt Tia, why're you always WEADING SOMEFING?" Hearing her loud and clear, I begrudgingly joined the diving board competition..and launched into the most awkward, flailing bellyflop you've ever seen. And the water was so freezing that the second I was surfaced, I screamed "OH SHIT!" Victoria was scandalized by my tarty language, and I was ousted from the competition and demoted to judge. Whatever. I slathered on the SPF and continued safely working on my tan. It was a lovely weekend, but by the time I got back to Brooklyn last night, all I wanted to do was take a long, hot bath. I don't know, something about a luxe soak after a day in the sun feels SO decadant and yummy! Adding to the decadence was a cupfull of GapBody Bath Salts in Nightfall ($10.88)! I know what you're thinking--GapBody doesn't exactly have the fanciest of reps. But trust me, they truly got it right this time! And it's not just about the chic, vintage-apothecary packaging. These salts have the spiciest, most grown-up-sexy scent...and they're chock full of almond oil, which makes the water deeply moisturizing. Hello, cashmere-soft skin. I'm so in love with the Nightfall scent that I put all tiny bit in a Ziploc bag and stuck it in my purse. Sachet in a pinch!
xoxo,
Tia
