It's About Thyme! (Sorry I Couldn't Resist)

Searching for a last-minute Mother's Day gift?

Thymes Studio Collection is an adorable tin packed with amazing scents any sophisticated mama is sure to love.

Aqua Coralline: Imagine bamboo leaves, crisp driftwood, pure waterlily and white cyclamen all mixed together in a bowl... Yeah, I had no idea what that would smell like either, until I tried this fragrance—a fresh, sparkler perfect for every day.

Jade Matcha: At first I was nervous about this one because it went on a little spicy. But it settled in to be SUCH an all-around lovely scent, I couldn't get enough of it! 

Kimono Rose: I tried this in the cologne spray sample as well as the rollerball version. The latter I felt didn't last very long on the skin, but the cologne sampler spray was a nice pretty powder that lingered.

Lotus Santal: Super sexy, yet classy, light and down-to-earth. This is my new summer date night pick! (That is, if summer ever gets here! Huff!)

Rosewood Citron: A little sweet, a little girly— definitely the most femme offering.

Tiare Monoi: Nicely bright, but a bit too sweet for my liking.

Thymes fragrances can be found on the company website as well as the finest independent specialty stores nationwide.

Treat Your Feet

It's spring! Are you tootsies sandal ready?!

Mine sure weren't, especially after an awesomely fun and walktastic trip to NYC a few weeks ago. To remedy my sad, rough old soles I turned to Zim's Crack Creme for Heels & Feet.

#1) Pretty much has one of the top ten best names ever.
#2) Is a natural herbal formula featuring aginine, arnica and aloe.
#3) Applied after a quick sweep with a pumice stone post-shower, my feet were seriously softer after just a few days.

One caveat: This is no fancy smelling beauty lotion ladies. The fragrance is fairly medical/Icy Hot-y. If you are scent-sensitive, my suggestion would be to apply at night and put on some cozy socks. In the morning, you'll surely be pleasantly surprised by the pedi-improvement.

Another warm weather essential is Zim's Max-Freeze Continuous Spray for Feet, a topical pain relief agent for soothing achy feet, joints, and sore muscles. This super spray is greaseless, fact acting, paraben- and stain-free and also doesn't leave a lasting odor. It does have a menthol-y quality to it at first, but settles nicely and definitely comes in handy after a long day of fun city shopping.

Zim's Crack Creme is available at Amazon, Drugstore.com, Walgreens.com and more.

Zim's Max-Freeze Continuous Spray for Feet can be found at CVS, Meijer and Walgreens.
