Mashed potatoes. Cranberry sauce. Apple pie. Who can resist the thought of such mouth-watering cuisine served at Thanksgiving dinner?  From now through the day we give thanks, we’ll be featuring a delectable creation inspired by foods found at a fall feast. The best part? You can enjoy these appetizing morsels without worrying about your waistband. Bon appétit!

I’m the kinda gal that doesn’t like spending money. I’m a sucker for bargain sales and thrift shops, and although on certain days, beauty and fashion prevail over tortured self-control, sometimes a girl just has to take charge and keep her wallet in check. So what did I do this weekend when I passed by a luxurious spa and was suddenly hit with a strong craving for a pampering spa treatment? Well, mustering up every ounce of restraint I had, I walked past nonchalantly, as if the thought had never even crossed my mind. However, I’m not that strong-minded. Instead, I decided to have my own at-home spa treatment and used the delicious J du J Fig & Olive bath and body scrub by Kathy Ireland Skincare to shamelessly pamper myself for free! Here’s how it went:

A rich blend of sea salts, oil, and minerals, the J du J bath and body scrub cleansed my pores and removed the dirt on the upper layer of my skin. After generously applying the scrub to my damp skin, I massaged it gently for a few minutes and then rinsed it off with hot steamy water. Result? My skin was left feeling extremely soft and refreshed. The oil and salt particles moisturized my body, and I felt energized and relaxed the entire day. An added benefit was the luxurious and not to mention long-lasting scent it left lingering on my body! Spas? Psh. I could have a better (and cheaper!) one at home anytime.

You can purchase the J du J Fig & Olive shower and body scrub online for $11.99 at the Kathy Ireland Skincare website.
