Happy Friday, ladies and fellas. Deep in the middle of January and its awards season, SheFinds found it’s time to…

» Relax. Your muscles. “One of my New Year’s Resolutions was to run more.  With iPod in hand, I set off on an hour long jaunt around the neighborhood. By the time I hit the halfway mark, my right knee hurt, my left foot ached and I was forced to hobble all the way home looking like grandma on an especially arthritic day. I had Kiss My Face Active Athletic Muscle Relaxant Bath & Shower Gel waiting for me when I dejectedly returned home.  A muscle relaxant, it contains soothing ingredients like olive oil and eucalyptus and it doesn’t have any animal ingredients or artificial colors.”

» Make your boy’s place smell beautiful. “We’re happy to report that the scent [of Jonathan Adler Candle Shelter Island] quickly fills a room, but doesn’t overpower. This is especially important if he’s a bit “hygienically challenged,” and you’re looking to rid his place of that nasty frat house, boy smell.”

» Have some cake. “We gave our Pop Beauty Eye Cake to a very light blonde and had her test out the blue—and it was one of the sweetest combinations we’ve seen—our tester was fearful of looking like the Barbie head she had in the 1980’s, but this was subtle. The shadow also had great staying power, which is always a plus.”

» And some sugar, too, sweet thing. “Well worth mentioning is Luisa New York Sugar Scrub, a scrumptious mix of dark brown sugar, sweet almond oil, jojoba oil, raspberry seeds, and vitamin E. This stuff is heaven in an amber jar—it left my skin polished and exfoliated and, probably thanks to the oils, hydrated and smooth without becoming oily.” 

» Understand even A-listers need makeup magic. “Having a bad hair day? A sleepless night left circles under your eyes? I sympathize, but imagine if the world was taking pictures of it. Online docs The Beauty Brains.com  have compiled a slideshow that’s worth a few thousand words about beauty, makeup, and the artifice of looking good.”
