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.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...
