Despite the fact that the first day of spring began on March 20th, there were only two days since that really felt like spring in NYC. It's times like these I know I should live in LA. Until spring officially wants to welcome us with it's presence, try faking a beautiful day everyday by wearing bright coral lipstick, pastel polish and using uplifting fragrances to get you in happy hour mood. I found an affordable pick-me-up that'll keep your mood boosted from sunrise til sunset.

Last week I was sent Bath & Body's new Beautiful Day Collection, which includes a shower gel, body scrub, body lotion, fragrance mist, perfume and more. The fragrance is a light, fruity floral blend of apples, daisies and peonies and with the right layering technique, it lasts all day. I like to start with the shower gel (which makes my whole bathroom smell like spring) and they layer with the body lotion and top it off with the fragrance mist.

I am deathly afraid of Black Friday and still don't understand why people feel the urge to physically go into stores and aggressively shop the deals and steals. Can someone please explain the the satisfaction to me? All of the deals are online, ladies! Truth is you don't even have to wait until Cyber Monday, because many brands run them all weekend long. The best part, you can shop in your underwear! There's one deal I'm particularly excited about this weekend and know you will too, because it's from Bath & Body Works and who doesn't love gifting from BBW? When I was young, living in Jersey and used to go to the mall religiously BBW was one of my favorite stores. There was always a deal and I was obsessed with their anti-bacterial hand creams and candles. I couldn't imagine a holiday without gifting someone with something from BBW not just because of the fun scents, but also because of their deals.

This weekend, they're offering VIP Gift Bags filled with products worth over $100 for only $20 to customers who spend $40 or more. Of course, they're first come first serve. Loaded with the best of BBW including: Signature Collection Shower Gel and Body Lotion in the new Cashmere Glow, a Paris Amour Body Lotion and a Paris for Men 2-in-1 Hair + Body Wash, a red shower sponge, a mini Cranberry Bellini candle, and an Anti-Bac Gentle Foaming Hand Soap in Sparkling Pink Champagne. All of the products come in a grey zip-up tote with a matching sequin change purse.
