Tanya's Favorite Things Giveaway

Wanna know something you may not know about me?  I am a beauty product junkie.  I'm not as bad as I used to be, back when I had more $$ to spend on products, but I'm still a junkie.  I LOVE makeup.  I love lotions and moisturizers.  I LOVE to read beauty magazines, especially Glamour. 



I love makeup tips.  In high school, if I didn't have plans on a Saturday night (which sadly was quite often), I would stay home and do full makeup just to try out my products or to try applying my makeup in a new way.  I actually considered being a makeup artist, but couldn't find a school that specialized in makeup without having to learn hair and nails too.  I'm not good with hair.  My poor sister had to live through several bad haircuts because of me.  Sorry sis! 

So, today we are talking about my favorite beauty product, or more specifically, my favorite skin care product.


This is a picture of a snake molting - shedding it's nasty, scaly, skin.  This is how my skin looks and feels all the time without help.  I have the dryest skin EVER!  I used to get out of the shower, dry off and feel like my skin was about to crack open it was so dry.  It was disgusting!

A few years ago, I discovered Arbonne.  It's an all natural line of health and beauty products.  Almost everything I use is made by Arbonne.  One of my absolute favorite things is a good sea salt scrub.  Arbonne makes the best and let me tell you why it's the best.  Most sea salt scrubs contain mineral oil with added fragrance and salt.  Mineral oil does not allow the skin to breathe.  It sits on top of the skin and doesn't absorb.  It makes your clothes and sheets greasy.  Have you ever put on sunscreen in the summer, gone outside where it's hot and you feel funny because you're hot  but you can't sweat to cool off?  Does that make sense?  It's because most sunscreen containes mineral oil and your skin can't breathe or sweat.  Arbonne products do not contain mineral oil.  The sea salt scrub is made with real essential oils which actually absorb into the skin and leave you soft, not greasy.  The sea salt is harvested in France and is extremely healing.  It's far superior to ANY sea salt scrub I have ever tried.  I love it! 

I recently told my Hubby that I can deal with not being a beauty queen.



 I can deal with not looking like a Victoria's Secret model. 


Does anyone else want to smack her?  No?  Maybe it's just me.


What I cannot deal with is feeling like everytime he touches my arm that he's reminded of one of these:



EEEWWW!  I would much rather be so soft that he can't keep his hands off of me.  Wouldn't you?  Doesn't that sound good?

So, in honor of Valentine's Day, I'm giving one of my reader's a chance to win an Arbonne Unwind Sea Salt Scrub so you can be soft and touchable too.  It's a $20 value.
