I absolutely love the Big Fat Yummy Hand Cremes (BFYHC)! No joke, I have 10 different ones here on my desk! Every time a new catalog comes out, I find a new favorite, and this Spring/Summer 2016 did not let me down!
BFYHCs are made with coconut oil and apricot kernel oil. As you may have read in an earlier post about the BFYHC, you only need about a pea-sized amount. The lotion absorbs into your skin quickly, without leaving your hands feeling greasy.
The Good Vibes BFYHC has no dyes added (none of them do!) - just a creamy white lotion. And the SMELL!!!!
This smells like summer! The scent is described as "juicy mango with a hint of coconut." To me, it's a tropical drink on a white sandy beach, somewhere in the Caribbean. Fruity and sweet... I just want to lick my hands when I use it! It also reminds me of a really good smelling suntan lotion - the coconut in it isn't overpowering, it just adds to the "lying on a beach" feel of the scent of the lotion.
This is going to be my "go-to" hand cream this summer, for sure!
Seriously, I have 10 BFYHC here at my desk!

Perfectly Posh Ingredients 101 - Sugar
We all know to avoid a lot of sugar as part of a healthy diet. That is the exact opposite when it comes to your skin!
Sugar is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture from the environment into the skin. So when you apply products with sugar or sugar derivatives, they’ll actually help hydrate your skin and keep moisture within.
Sugar is a natural source of glycolic acid, which penetrates the skin and breaks down the “glue” that bonds skin cells, encouraging cell turnover and generating fresher, younger-looking skin. The NY Minute face mask is a glycolic mask that removes dead skin cells, deep cleans pores, and reveals vibrant, beautiful skin.
Sugar's small particles are an awesome exfoliant, and because of sugar's natural humectant properties, a sugar scrub or exfoliating bar with sugar in it will hydrate while also exfoliating!
Posh uses sugar or it's derivatives in a LOT of their products. Lip Scrubs are awesome, because when you rub your lips together after applying, the sugar is sloughing off dead skin cells, which allows the lip balm part of the product to penetrate deeper into your skin.
The BFF exfoliating face wash uses microbeads derived from sugar cane to gently exfoliate and protect your face.
And of course, we have many fabulous body scrubs and Snarky Bars! Snarky Bars are shea-butter loaded soaps with the same microbeads derived from sugar cane.
So never let anyone tell you that sugar is bad for you! It is GOOD for you!!!!

Take Time For YOU! You deserve it!
Women never get a day off. Sure, you get a day off from your day job, but someone has practice, forgot about a homework assignment or project due Monday... There's nothing to eat in the fridge, you're out of toilet paper... The list goes on and on.
While we might never get "a day off," we still need "me time!" We deserve it!!
That's the great thing about Perfectly Posh. All our products are pampering, because of the quality of the ingredients. So if you only have a minute, grab a lip scrub! If you only have 2 minutes to pamper yourself, grab a Big Fat Yummy Hand Cream! If you have 10 minutes, put on one of the fabulous facial masks and relax while it does it's magic! Get the opportunity to take a 15 minute (or more) shower? Make sure to grab a body scrub or Snarky Bar, and a Skindelicious body butter to use after you get out of the shower!
No matter how much, or how little time you have, TAKE TIME FOR YOU. YOU DESERVE IT!
