Blue skies, white sand, crystal clear waters gently lap the shore as you relax beachside with the perfect cocktail.  Ahhhhh, this is paradise.   The reality is the weather is hot and humid, DH has no vacation time this summer, besides that money would be better spent on the kids than vacation.  Get carried away with these products that are island inspired.

 Did you earn this ‘getaway’?  Did you complete your challenges for this week?  Have you purged and reorganized your kitchen?  Did you devote some time to marketing your WAH business?  Good then this getaway is just what you need and deserve.

Forget the package of peanuts and the teeny glass of soda they serve you on the plane.  To start this adventure Robyn has the perfect appetizer - delicious and easy to make.  Perfectly complimented by the cocktail that transports you to a striped cabana on that gorgeous beach.

The sands of the caribbean would be perfect for exfoliating your skin, but since thats not available, try this: 

Freeman Feeling Beautiful Guava Salt Body Scrub ($4)

 Although your bath or shower might not have been in the outdoor bathroom of a 5 star resort, you’ll love the luxurious feeling of E.L.F. Moisturizing Body Lotion in Pineapple Mango ($4)  After your bath, slather yourself with this rich lotion.  Just the scent alone with summon your inner island girl.  (Grass skirt: optional)

No need to bake.  Try a sunless tanner, they are inexpensive and gurantee lots of color without baking in the sun.  This is very moisturizing and always a good price ($5)

Finally the last item need for your ‘vacation’ a fruity lip balm and Burt’s Bees is only $3.   This will have you puckering up all night.

Sit back and relax.  At least for a little while.  Enjoy your weekend
