Spring Break Beauty Product Picks and Essentials

Winter is just getting started, but my thoughts have already turned to spring. And visions of a tropical getaway to Miami, Rio or Maui are dancing in my head. So here's a short list of Everything She Wants' must-have beauty picks and essentials to help you prep for and to bring on your next spring fling.


1. For a few weeks, I've been using the collagen boosting Eminence Citrus & Kale Potent C + E Serum (and masque) in tandem with Eminence's Stone Crop Hydrating Mist, illuminating Bright Skin Licorice Root Booster-Serum and nourishing Facial Recovery Oil, and my skin texture has a renewed youthful glow. The anti-aging products are good for all skin types, absorb quickly and are packed with effective, natural ingredients and antioxidants.

2. Dry feet aren't sexy nor are they sandal-ready. And Aquaphor Healing Ointment Advanced Therapy has done wonders on my coarse, cracked heels. The ointment will also intensely moisturize and rejuvenate any part of your skin that needs new life.

3. Dove Dry Spray Antiperspirant comes in six fragrances and is the perfect lightweight protection for carefree resort days spent lounging on the beach or poolside.

4. Beauty starts from the inside out.  Before your getaway, strengthen your hair, skin and nails with Nature's Bounty Optimal Solutions Hair, Skin & Nails multivitamin infused with argan oil, 5000 mcg of biotin per serving, antioxidants A, C and E and hyaluronic acid.

5. Made with a gentle blend of honey, brown sugar, Tahitian vanilla and sweet nectar, I Smell Great Wild Honey hair fragrance delivers on its name. It also gently conditions and adds sheen to your hair. While you're on vacay, use it between workouts and spa treatments.

Conway Discount Clothing Chain Closing in New York City

It's the end of an era. Conway discount stores are closing . As of this weekend, a sign on the sole Herald Square location (34th Street btwn 7th and 8th Ave) says the store will close in "7 Days." Before I relocated to New York City, I was introduced to the discount chain while on a bus trip from Baltimore.  I recall the first time I saw Conway's signature pink bags carried by hurried shoppers in midtown. And Miss Foster, the trip organizer and a bargain hunter from way back, took me to the store for the first time. Conway store in the Fulton Mall./Tracy E. Hopkins When I moved here in 1994, my love affair with Conway continued.  I furnished my first apartment with discount knick-knacks and home goods from the store.  And much to my chagrin, in hindsight, I curated most of my wardrobe for my first full-time job from the long-shuttered 42nd Street and Third Avenue store. One regretful ensemble: Lime green and white checkered pants with a matching lime green
