Save or Splurge: Body Wash

By -
Body wash, or even soap, is quite easy to find for a good price. Many decent body washes can be purchased for just a few dollars. And really, I've never seen a body wash over $25. Although, I can't really imagine paying $25 for body wash.

I'm a bar of Dial soap girl myself so I clearly go the cheapest route with this product. I know there is something to be said for conditioning your skin (but I just lotion after the shower). I also understand the needs of sensitive skin, and a gentle body wash can cost a little more than my cheap bar of soap.

I do understand spending a little extra for glowing skin, but breaking the $10 mark is just too much for me. Do you save or splurge on your body wash?

I use liquid dial. My boyfriend and I like getting tattoos and you can't use bar soap or body wash on fresh ink. I like the clean and fresh smell of it too. We use cocoa butter for moisture.

splurge, at least a little,...is my tendency....certainly not 79, though!!!

I have tried the brand you feature here from target and don't like it... I guess I go for stuff from the Whole Foods product aisle... Aura Cacia, etc.

I love the stuff with essential oils, stuff from Lush, there are so many yummy ones out there, and Target doesn't ever seem to settle my gel/wash loves...(except maybe the so good you wan to eat it vanilla one...) even a $15 spa mint get from a spa can do wonders!!! and scrubs, wow, love, love, love the bamboo scrub from Desert Essence.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
