You'll brighten everyone's day carrying the Paris Handbag from Jewell by Thirty-One in Candy Pink Pebble. It's roomy enough to hold an iPad and has a detachable skinny strap for hands-free carrying when needed. With the addition of Jewell by Thirty-One and a new jewelry line launching this Spring, there's never been a better time to become a Consultant.

For our male readers, Revo's Converge sunnies with Black Matte Frames and Blue Water Mirror Lenses are sleek and handsomely sexy. Revo's Motion-Fit™ design ensures the sunglasses stay put during high-speed activities. High-contrast Polarized Serilium™ lenses block damaging rays, reduce glare and provide clear, comfortable viewing with superior color contrasts. $189 revo.com. 

KAI's Reed Diffuser is made with patented high-performance reeds that release the scent of gardenia wrapped in white exotics at a controlled rate. Included is a beautiful Italian glass bottle with cork. Remove the cork {we placed ours in a lingerie drawer}, place the reeds in the bottle and enjoy KAI's signature scent for months. Gift boxed, $78 at kaifragrance.com. 

Our fave no-cal treat are these ice cream scoops for the bath! Have you ever heard of anything so SWEET? ME! Bath's Gotta Have It Pomegranate Mini Bath Ice Cream is a set of 6 moisturizing bath scoops that will turn your bath into a spa-like experience. Watch it fizz around as the fabulous fragrance, essential oils and minerals are released...so fun! $18 at mebath.com.

No bath experience is complete without an aromatic candle. Three Muskytiers by Piece by Paz is not just any candle. The scent is sensual warm musk and, like all of their candles, is handpoured in a recycled wine glass etched with their logo. Made with a blend of soy and beeswax, these all-natural candles have a wooden wick which crackles when lit and the hangtag is embedded with annual and perennial seeds...plant it and watch it grow! LOVE! $28 at piecebypaz.com.

As a former event planner and floral designer, I'm in LOVE with the idea of DIY floral arrangements. Bloominous makes it easy to create your own stunning arrangements and bouquets for weddings and events with their DIY Floral Kits. Included in the kits are farm-fresh, cut-to-order flowers that have been trimmed and de-thorned, container, foam, and wire. This Country Charm Centerpiece Kit has us dreaming of a Spring garden party. $50 at bloominous.com. 

Whether riding a bike on a Spring day or skiing down the slopes, make sure you have Obagi's Professional-C Suncare with SPF 30 on hand. Formulated with Vitamin C, Professional-C enhances UV protection, calms inflammation, and helps minimize fine lines and wrinkles. SRP: $70. Sold by skin care professional's nationwide, for a location near you, visit obagi.com. 

You'll soon be able to grill without freezing your knickers off. Grilling Like A Champion by Rudolf Jaeger is chock full of delicious recipes, tips from professional grillmasters and fab photos for creating a mouth-watering grill fest. Whether you're a novice shopping for your first grill or a seasoned barbecuer wanting to take your skills up a notch, you'll be inspired. Hardcover, 232 pages. $34.99 at schifferbooks.com.

What goes great with any barbecue? A crisp salad, of course! Kuhn Rikon's Ratchet Salad Spinner will help create the perfect one. Remove excess water from salad greens, veggies and berries gently and easily by moving the ratchet handle back and forth. The salad spinner doubles as a colander and a non-slip ring ensures the spinner doesn't slide. $35 at us.kuhnrikon.com.

If you're like me, you drink a lot more hot coffee and tea in the colder months which can stain teeth. Colgate® Optic White® Platinum Toothpaste removes stains beneath the surface while WhiteSeal™ technology forms a seal around teeth to help seal out new stains. Fresh minty taste too! Available at mass retailers, food and drugstores. SRP for a 3-oz. tube is $3.99-4.99.

An inexpensive way to update your look for Spring and show off those pearly whites is to change up your lip color. We love Ready To Wear's Lip Lurex in Cotton Candy. It's a high-shine gloss in a cheery pink color that will perk up any outfit while it moisturizes lips. The luscious gel formula with anti-feather action results in a gloss that glides and stays put without being sticky. $15 at hsn.com. 

I know how much time and effort goes into making a sugar scrub so I'm amazed at how Tree Hut can sell their Almond & Honey Shea Sugar Scrub so reasonably. Sugar grains and almond bits help exfoliate skin while a blend of Organic Shea Butter, Honey, Sweet Almond and other natural oils moisturize and condition dry skin. And it smells incredible! Three {yes 3!} large 18-oz. jars are $19.44 on Amazon.
