NEW Sol de Janeiro Launches

WHAT'S NEW FROM 

SOL DE JANEIRO?

I'm back with my all-time favorite skin care brand - Sol de Janeiro - and their recently launched products. It's no secret that I have been obsessed with Sol's Cheirosa '62 fragrance since it's debut a little over four years ago, so when reps sent me their newest additions, I fell head-over-heels! For those asking "Hey Ev, what does Cheirosa mean?" Well, in Brazil it means to smell irresistible - think: incredibly delicious!

I waited a long time for their Cheirosa '62 Candle. It smells absolutely AH-MAZING, and if it's even possible, better than the bum bum cream! Also, new? Sol de Janeiro's Biggie Biggie Bum Bum Cream launched again. TWICE the size of their regular/larger jar. I snagged one last year before it disappeared (sold out almost immediately) and I still have it.

AERIN Candles

INTRODUCING NEW

AERIN CANDLE COLLECTION

Candles are the way to my heart and can most certainly be found in every corner of my home in different scents, shapes, styles and sizes - perfect for setting ambiance (or the mood!) Well here is some great news: the global luxury lifestyle brand AERIN, just expanded its home decorative accessories line with a five-piece candle collection (available online now at www.AERIN.com). Each candle retails for $80 and is packaged in a beautiful watercolor decorative box – the perfect gift that you don’t even have to wrap!

Designed to evoke a feeling of international escape through home fragrance, the collection is inspired by founder Aerin Lauder’s favorite global destinations including Mustique, Southern France, Rome, Aspen, and St. Moritz.

Let's take a look at the lovely lineup in the AERIN Candle Collection: 

L’ Ansecoy Orange Blossom - inspired by the turquoise waters, white sands and laid-back vibe of Mustique – the perfect place to unwind in the Caribbean. The L'Ansecoy Orange blossom scented candle evokes the fragrant Flora that lines the island's beaches featuring notes of sun-kissed Orange Blossom and sweet Cedar enhanced by the greens and citrus of Petitgrain.

Uzés Tuberose – inspired by the medieval town of Uzés in Southern France, known for its breathtaking architecture, beautiful hidden gardens, and a picturesque town square. A visit to the area inspired the Uzés Tuberose scented candle, infused with an alluring blend of Tuberose enhanced with fruity Apricot, and a warming hint of Spicy Clove.

Caffarella Vine – inspired by the sprawling valley of beautiful green pastures, woodland, and meadows of Parco Della Caffarella in Rome. The Caffarella Vine scented candle captures this pastoral scene with crisp Green Ivy, blended with alluring Waterlily and hints of woody musk.

Buckhorn Amber – inspired by Aspen, Colorado. The Buckhorn Amber scented candle is an ode to the Buckhorn Ski Run on Aspen Mountain. The aroma of rich, woody Amber layered with Sandalwood lifted with a luminous floral note of Orchid pays homage to the beautiful vista that overlooks the mountain range.

Corviglia Spice – inspired by the unspoiled alpine landscape of Corviglia, overlooking the European resort of St. Moritz. Corviglia Spice transports you to Switzerland with warming Pink Pepper, velvety Rose, and the rich woody depths of Patchouli and Cedar.

Each candle retails for $80 and can be purchased directly from www.AERIN.com.

Glade is household name that millions love, I myself can't get enough of Glade candles (they seriously melt me and awaken all my senses - Angel Whispers is my main flame, followed by NEW Blooming Peony & Cherry and Red Honeysuckle Nectar!) I always light a candle (please follow safety instructions) whenever I write, to help soothe and clear my mind. Cirque du Soleil partnered with Glade® to show how style empowerment can come from anything in your daily life, including colors and scents.

Glade® and Cirque du Soleil® Event

FIRST-EVER SCENT INSPIRED PERFORMANCE

WITH GLADE AND CIRQUE DU SOLEIL

#FeelGlade

A couple of weeks ago, Glade announced a year-long partnership with Cirque du Soleil to demonstrate that scent can inspire emotion, arouse the senses, and spark the imagination through artistry. I am a true candle lover and my all-time favorite candle is Glade's Angel Whispers, so I made it my mission to attend this event at Madison Square Park, despite the heavy rain that day. Reps were the best, handing each of us clear, bubble umbrellas so we could stay dry and enjoy the show. Madison Square Park was instantly transformed into a dreamland; an experience completely inspired by Glade fragrances.
