Guilty Pleasures: Sinfully Indulgent Beauty Treats

You have plenty of “Calgon, Take Me Away!” moments. But when’s the last time you actually, like, let Calgon take you away? Instead of slipping into a relaxing bubble bath, you settle for a quick jaunt under the shower head. You’ve got your makeup routine streamlined to two minutes or less, and your body lotion of choice is whichever one is closest to the sink. Heck, even your Toyota gets more TLC when it visits the car wash.

 

Enough is enough. You will always be busy. You may always be stressed. But life’s much too short to be skimping on your primping. It’s time to treat yourself, girl!

 

These to-die-for beauty goodies will transform your bathroom into the spa of your dreams, helping your stress melt away as you tune out, soften up, and go glam. Go on…you deserve it.

 

Showers are great. Really. But they don’t quite measure up to the blissful enjoyment of a long soak in a perfectly heated bath overflowing with foamy bubbles. Dim the lights, let the tap flow, and crank up the Norah Jones CD of your choice.
