Embrace Spring!

Congratulations, readers, you’ve made it!  March 20th marks the first day of Spring 2011.  Embrace the new season with Beauty of a Site!

1. Wear Green.

The most prominent sign of the new season is the hints of green popping up all over the country.  Whether for your favorite St. Patty’s day party or just for celebrating the season, green celebrates new growth and new chances.  It’s an essential part of your wardrobe!

Try OPI’s Don’t Mess with OPI, from the Texas Collection, Zoya’s Gemma, or China Glaze’s Starboard from Anchor’s Away, for a chic green hue.

2. Welcome Florals.

More than any other season, Spring has its very own smell. Even before the flowers start blooming, get rid of winter’s musty smell with fresh florals of your own!

Choose Kai’s Room and Linen spray for hawaiian-inspired freshness, or this lily-scented candle from Aunt Sadie!

3. Bring on the sun!

Warmer weather, short sleeves and flip flops are not far off.  Prepare your skin for the challenge: scrub up, moisturize and bring on the bronze!

We suggest Cake’s Soothing Sugar Scrub, Get Fresh Rich Body Creme and at home tanning from St. Tropez.

Fresh, Natural and, well, Clean.

CLEAN fragrance has released a brand new perfume that truly encapsulates all of the freshness of the outdoors after a summer rain. Shower Fresh has always been one of Beauty of a Site’s most popular fragrances, so we are thrilled to introduce Clean Outdoor Shower Fresh, in stock and shipping!

CLEAN describes their newest fragrance, saying:

Inspired by the exhilarating experience of al fresco showering, secluded by nature. Heady exuberance and feel-good freedom, captured and bottled in a crisp, clean, leafy-green scent. Extracts of Water Lily, Violet Leaves and Sparkling Bergamot with a hint of Tropical Rain Accord and Sandalwood for a refreshingly simple, outdoor soapy shower fresh scent.

Our Beauty of a Site customers can’t get enough of it either! Check out this review from one of our first customers to give it a shot:

I was so excited to see that Clean had a new fragrance out. I actually saw it on HSN or QVC one night, but I had bought my EDP from you. So I was thrilled to see you had it on your site too… the scent of this spray is clean and crisp, and I love that it is not flowery or overpowering. It is truly different from any other Clean scent. I get compliments on it all the time!

L’Eau de la Season: Intoxicating Floral Fragrances

The fresh smell of late Spring as it transitions to Summer is most powerfully captured in a collection of floral fragrances.  A bouquet of wildflowers captures the essence of the sweetness of the the season.  Make florals a part of your routine and bring all of the best parts of the season with you – all day long!  Here are our favorite youthful, colorful, floral fragrances:

	Kai Perfume Oil, $42, is a romantic bouquet of tropical flowers, inspired by the sweet smell of the Hawaiian islands. Featuring romantic gardenia and an intoxicating blend of white florals, this romantic, exotic, floral fragrance is as breezy as a beach in paradise.
	Crazy Libellule & the Poppies Litchi Blossom, $16, twist up solid fragrance features not only an extremely affordable and unique formula, but captures the fresh and romantic essence of rose, accompanied by geranium, litchi (or “lychee”) and mint. Soft, mystical and rosie, this glorious and fresh fragrance is as carefree in scent as it is in application.
	Filles des Iles Floral Solaire, $50 (on sale!), features classic floral notes like lily and orchid, deliciously accented by passion fruit, starfruit and a whisp of tropical breeze. Like a day on the shores of Saint Barth’s, the delicious Filles des Iles blend is irresistible.

Crazy about Crazy LIbellule and the Poppies!

A girl loves to smell delicious- but some days just aren’t perfume days.  Something light and quick.  Looking for just a little hint of fragrance?  Our favorite lovely smelling remedie is the Crazy Libellule & the Poppies solid fragrance sticks.  These small solid fragrances are imported from French, featuring adorable french names & precious packaging.  Perfect for tossing in your purse!  My personal favorite is the “Lilas Spiritual” from the Shanghaijava Collection, with top notes of lilac & clove, heart notes of lily of the valley and base notes of lilac & vanilla.  Gorgeous!
