Molton Brown – Thai Vert Handsoap

Who buys a 25 dollar bottle of hand soap? I guess I do, but only when it smells as good as Molton Browns Thai Vert hand soap. And another plus is the bottle is very big and each pump gives you a tiny bit.. But its enough to get your hands smelling fresh and herby. Its a sort of masculine herb scent.. Like a rosemary lime scent. The bottle also looks very nice on the countertop.

Ojon Restorative Hair Treatment

This stuff is great, although the smell isnt that great (kind of like coffee – which isnt right in your hair) It works great.. I used it once as a leave in, but its a little too heavy/greasy for that.. Instead I use it as a deep conditioner.. Put it in while you are doing something around the house, then wash it off about 30 minutes later – and youll have a head full of nice soft, conditioned hair.
$55 for 5oz at Sephora

The Body Shop – Lemon Basil Fragrance Oil

I use fragrance oil in my office everyday.. in a little scentball diffuser, and my absolute favorite is the lemon basil oil from the body shop.. Its a kitcheny scent, very fresh and helps wake me up in the am.. One of the cleaner scents – and its not too feminine like many of the fruity scents. I get a lot of compliments when I use it. Good Stuff.

Goya Adobo

If you have a kitchen, with food in it- then you should have a bottle of Goya Adobo seasoning in your spice cabinet. Its that important.. Adobo seasoning is a mixture of garlic oregano salt and pepper.. Its best on fish or chicken, or even red meats- and you can use it before or after you cook. It has a nice salty flavor but its perfectly balanced. I put it on everything.

Penzeys Cake Spice

This spice is my secret weapon in all my martha stewarty cakes.. Its a blend of china cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg, allspice, cloves and ginger.
Generally I use it when a recipe calls for cinnamon..its got much more complexities than cinnamon alone.. Im lucky enough to have a Penzeys right downstairs from work at Grand Central Market, but if you want to bake like lil vettie you can also buy it online.. Good stuff

Always Infinity

I have to do another post, after such a long time.. because this is really good.. A whole new pad – that is completely different from anything on the market. Always Infinity has this really thin, kind of like a thinly sliced shamois (shammy) – they call it infinicel.. it sucks up all the yucky stuff and pulls it down to the bottom side of the pad.. so you are nice & dry.

Sorry, friends.. I try to keep my reviews away from the graphic stuff.. but I’ve decided that I’m not going to hide certain things that I really like!
