Six Reasons to Love These Bath Fizzers

BellaSugar — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 10:00:24 -0800

How do I love these Anti-Body Bath Fizzers ($9.95)? Let me count the ways:

They're vegan, paraben-free, and not tested on animals.
They're tucked in a cute farm-themed recyclable carton.
They smell like fresh lemongrass (or lavender or flowers, if you prefer).
You get six for just under $10 - an affordable bit of luxury.
They fizz up, then soften skin with shea butter.
Best of all, the fair-trade shea butter provides jobs for women in Togo.

You might find your own reasons, but these six are a pretty good start.

Ginnifer Shows Her Sexy Bad Girl Lingerie-Loving Side

Ginnifer Goodwin went risque for her June cover of W Magazine. The actress was eager to show off a new side and quite a bit of skin for the shoot and in the interview she's all about dispelling assumptions that she's as sweet and ditsy as the characters she plays. Check out the whole slideshow of sexy images here. In the article she joked around about how she tricked her friends into thinking she was having her birthday at a Vegas nightclub and why despite being a vegan she still has that cheeseburger lover mentality. Here are highlights:

On stories about her: "I perpetuate rumors that I’ve dated people that I’ve never actually dated," she says with a sly smile. "Dorothy Parker once said something along the lines of, ‘I don’t care what’s written about me so long as it isn’t true.’ It’s safe making."
On love: "I know now that there are men out there who are, for me, the whole package, who are supportive of my successes because they know I will be just as supportive of theirs. I’m less tolerant of foolishness now; I know that it’s important I not tie myself up with the wrong person, because then I will miss the right person coming along."
On life: "My whole thing is quality of life. . .It must always be easy and low-maintenance and stress-free, and that means not trying to fit too much in. I don’t ever want to be in a hurry. I want to enjoy the moments."

To read what Ginnifer has to say about her costars and her new home just read more.

On her Big Love costars: "I have shown up at work [with] my heart broken by a boy, and they have been the ones to hold my hand and call me in the middle of the night to make sure I’m okay. I have no doubt that I’ll be friends with Jeanne and Chloë forever. We are people who want to stand beside each other in life."
On becoming a vegan: "I’m so anti body-image issues. It was always part of my identity that I would show off by eating everything. But I’ve made a decision that I could not continue to support these industries."
On her new home: "I’m in a relationship with this house right now. I’m in love with it. I plan to be here a long time. I assume it’s where I’ll get married - I’ll only marry a fella who loves the house like I do - and have my first child."

In case you've imbibed in one too many of Grandma's rum balls or eggnog and you get caught under the mistletoe, here are some fun lip balms that will make any makeout session all the more interesting. One thing's for sure: The person on the receiving end will get something more than just a boozy smooch.

Count down the 12 days of Christmas with this cute set. Not Soap, Radio's 12 Days of Christmas Lip-Stravanganza ($24.00) is packaged up in a FAA-approved bag with two each of following: brown sugar lip scrub, day and light lip treatment, matte gloss, clear gloss, hazelnut cocoa butter lip balm, breath mint lip balm. Yum. (If you celebrate Hanukkah, check out the 8 Days of Luscious Lips set ($18).
The classic Tchaikovsky ballet inspired this environmentally friendly trio. Anti-body's Nutcracker Sweet Collectible Lip Balm Set ($7.95) includes: Strawberry (Clara), Chocolate Hazelnut (Nutcracker), and Plum (Sugar Plum Fairy). Better yet? The do-good company helps create sustainable jobs for workers in developing countries.
I've been rather impressed with Wet N Wild these days and these little lip cuties are no exception. Packed with peppermint oil (hello, fresh breath), Wet N Wild Mint Infusions Lip Tint SPF 15 ($5.99) provide a cooling sensation with a hint of color, and come available in Crystal Mint, Cherry Mint, and Berry Mint.
