Flu Friend: The Body Shop's Pure Detox Rejuvenating Bath Soak

The Body Shop's Pure Detox Rejuvenating Bath Soak ($20) is exactly what you need when you're so flu ravaged, you can barely handle pressing the "buy" button on your remote to order The House Bunny on demand.

It smells herbal and eucalyptus-y, though it's packed with made-up-sounding ingredients like bladderwrack seaweed. Wasabi will open up your sinuses and bring you back into the land of the living.

This stuff brought the score to Flu 0, Amber 1.

For Nighttime Showerers

Philosophy's Falling in Love Perfumed Shampoo, Shower Gel and Bubble Bath ($22) is the perf "wind-down" nighttime shower accoutrement. I LOVE the way this stuff smells. Love. It's very subtle and sophist [side note: do you not ADORE "sophist?" My work friend Michael came up with it.] and inspires romantical behavior. Yes, I realize that's not a word.


A hot shower before bed plus a pillow spritz of The Body Shop's Deep Sleep Dreamy Pillow & Body Mist ($16) smells fresh and calming and ensures sweet dreams will ensue.

I'm a night showerer (most of the time) because of my hair vanity situation. I just can't spend that kind of time in the morning straightening this haystack in addition to everything else. I also like to wake up as late as is humanly possible so I typically pick out my clothes and get everything I'm taking to work in the morning ready by 11pm the night before. In the morning, it's a mad rush of face washing, makeup and super-speedy hairstyling. What's your shower routine? Let me know!
