Not only are the employees at Sluys the friendliest around, but you couldn't find a better tasting doughnut or pastry!!! I still remember the first time I tried one of their pastries...it was like a whole new world was opened up to my taste buds! Don't believe me? I DARE you to try one of their cream cheese filled cinnamon rolls!! They also happen to be located right downtown, so after shopping around all the cutesy shops, and you've worked up an appetite, stop in at Sluys!

After trying many different body scrubs, I have finally found one that I like enough to repurchase- Clinique Body Sloughing Cream.
This creamy mint green colored scrub comes in a 220ml tub with a screw off lid. The product itself has a minty fragrance that is not overpowering but is definitely noticeable while you are using the product. The scent doesn't last long though, so there is no need to worry about it interfering with anything else you may wear.
Clinique Body Sloughing Cream does a great job at exfoliating and removing any dry patches and bumps that I have on my skin. For best results follow up with a moisturizer or else your skin will be extremely dry.

I love the nice clean lemon smell of Burts Bees Vitamin E Body and Bath Oil. I recommend using it after a shower to moisturize. This oil has made my horribly dry skin nicer and softer. It gets easily absorbed by the skin and did not cause any breakouts. It doesn't feel oily at all either. After a few hours, the really moisturized feeling fades, but my skin still feels soft.
I recommend this product if you don't mind a lemon scent and if you're looking for an alternative to baby oil.

This is a great shampoo. I have long hair and always have trouble with tangles and managability. With this shampoo, those problems disappear. My hair is always very soft after using this. Another plus is that they have so many different shampoos and conditioners taylored to your hair type. I have very fine hair, and never have any body. I find that when I use this shampoo made for extra body, I always have very full hair. Because it only takes a little bit of this shampoo to get a good lather, the cost of this is pretty good, and it smells great!

As we move into summer, it's important to remember sun protection when outside. I use Aveeno Positively Radiant Moisturizer with SPF 30. This moisturizer is gentle enough that you can use it everyday. It is safe to use on sensitive skin and has anti-aging ingredients. It gives broad spectrum protection; meaning it protects from UVA and UVB rays. What I love about this, is it doesn't feel too heavy on my face after applying and it has a TINY bit of sparkle to it giving you a "glowing" type of appearance that isn't overdone making it look like you're trying hard to look like a teeny bopper. And if I go out in the sun and forget to put sunscreen onmy face, I know I'm protected for a while with this moisturizer. I purchased mine for about thirteen dollars so it isn't cheap, but it's well worth it. Aveeno makes high quality products that you can trust.

Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Body Glow Lotion is a daily replenishing moisturizer with a touch of self tanner. It costs about $3.89 for a 10 fl. oz bottle. I have very fair skin and purchased this lotion to help me achieve some sort of color for the upcoming summer. I had both a positive and negative experience with this lotion. I used it on my face, to give it some color, and that is exactly what it did. It gave me a light, very natural looking color to my face. However, where I applied it on my arms and legs, those areas turned orange after just one application of this lotion. Needless to say, my arms and legs looked like they had gone to battle with an orange and had lost. I was embarassed to be seen in public. Aside from the positive results with my face, I would say that this product is more of a self tanner with a hint of lotion than a lotion with a hint of self tanner as it so claims. This product may work better for darker complexions than mine, but for my fair skin, I think I will switch to a different brand of lotion with self tanner.

Aquafor is a great product for various problems. This is a jelly like product that can be used for advanced healing of dry, cracked, or irritated skin. It is non-irritating and frangrance free. It can be used on chapped lips, minor cuts and burns, sensitive skin, skin irritations from laser treatments and radiation therapy. This can also be used as a diaper rash cream for babies. This stuff is great and well worth the price.

Arizona Iced Tea is my ultimate favorite iced tea. The flavor is just amazing. They really use quality ingredients and make it so fresh tasting. They have a lot of different varieties to choose from, as well as having diet teas too. The cost is a little more than some of the other iced tea brands but it is worth it.

"Nickel and Dimed" by Barbara Ehrenreich explores the lives of millions of Americans that work for poverty level wages. Barbara Ehrenreich moved from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, taking the cheapest lodgings available and accepting work as a waitress, hotel maid, house cleaner, nursing-home aide, and WalMart employee. Doing this, she experienced what it is like to live paycheck to paycheck.
I thought this book was excellent and sends a great message to Americans-especially those who have never had similar jobs or who have had to really save money and know what its like to live in near-poverty.
Barbara Ehrenreich writes great and it flowed rather easily and nicely. Everyone should read this book to get a true glimpse of what a large portion of Americans are really doing to stay afloat.
