Doing Drugstore: St. Ives Moisturizing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish
I love body polishes that don't require excess force to work, particularly ones that use sugar, which is gentler on the skin. Over the weekend, I tried out St. Ives Moisturizing In-Shower Exfoliating Body Polish, Oatmeal & Shea Butter ($8), which contains natural sugar crystals for exfoliation, oatmeal to soothe, and shea butter for softer skin.

DIY: A Brown Sugar Body Scrub Inspired by a Winter Cocktail
A few weeks ago my friend decided to make hot buttered rum on a whim. None of us had ever had it, and it sounded kind of gross... yet somehow appealing.
Beauty Mark It Results: Beautiful Body Scrubs
Last week we switched things around by updating our weekly Beauty Mark It feature. Instead of asking you to go out there and find products that correlate to a specific topic, I asked you to go to our ever-fabulous Product Review Site to give your honest opinions instead. The subject matter this time around?
DIY Spa Treatment: Coffee Clove Body Scrub
Does it say something about my lifestyle that in all of these DIYs, the only thing I am apprehensive about is wasting coffee? Luckily, what I came up with is not wasteful at all but instead a delicious body scrub that works as well as it smells. Also, instead of mixing it up in a bowl like I have in the past, I washed out a tub of Kerastase Masquintense.

I'm always down for changing things around, and now it's time to ruffle up things a bit on our Beauty Mark It challenges.

Then, we'll add it to our ever-expanding Product Reviews page, where you can add your own star ratings.
New Product Alert: Carol's Daughter SweetHoneyDip ChocolateBrownSugah Scrub
Try saying this one three times fast. Not only is this new SweetHoneyDip ChocolateBrownSugah Scrub ($34) from Carol's Daughter so good that you can almost eat it, but it works wonders to slough away dead skin cells. After trying this sweet treat in a hot bath last weekend, I loved the way it left my skin feeling moisturized, soft and luxuriously smooth.
Product Review: Lush Buffy Body Bar
Buffy Summers is arguably the smartest, strongest, most complex heroine in TV history, and I'm disappointed that we haven't seen anyone come close to her coolness since Buffy went off the air. (Maybe Dollhouse will change that.) But I remember Buffy every time I rub my bottom.
Let me explain.
DIY Spa Treatment: Ginger-Mint Body Scrub
Store-bought brown sugar scrubs are divine, but when their prices swing upward toward the $50 mark, that's a lit-tle high for most people. Fortunately, whipping up your own scrub couldn't be easier — and the results are just as good.
You will need:
- Honey
- Freshly grated ginger root
- Chopped fresh mint leaves
- Olive oil
- Brown sugar, light or dark
