Jenny's Faves

We all have things we just love, life's indulgences or simple pleasures. So I started making mental notes of products and things that I love and wanted to share. Hey, I'm no Oprah and it's only half fun enjoying them alone. Sharing mine is like having a party with friends! So here we go.


No. 1 ***** Bath and Body Works SUGAR SCRUB!

My good friend, Jameela gave me Bath and Body Works, Sugar Scrug two years ago for my birthday. Can you say, "Spa-ctacular?" In an instant you feel it! It's literally like a skin makeover. Scrub those wintery-dry scaley legs down from your heels up the leg and work in a circular motion. It feels like you just walked off the beach and you'll have a sexy glow. I like Vanilla Lavender (sexy, get you ready for bed aroma) or Mandarin Lime that energizes you all day. BBW $20.

No. 2 ***** Blistix LIP MEDIX

WONDERFUL! Keeps your kissers plump and chap free. My head doesn't hit the pillow at night without running a layer of my lips. Contains a bit of Camphor and Menthol. Just enough to settle you in for your beauty rest. What a comfort for chapped or sunburned lips. Walgreen's $2.99

NO. 3 **** Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick

Girls, matte skin is out of style. We all need a little glow, something to make us stand out a bit. I found Bobbi Brown's Shimmer Brick. Brush on and drag across the bridge of your nose, your cheeks and forehead. It gives you a nice healthy glow. It's also great to freshen up mid- day or just before your date arrives. Try Pink Quartz. Belk- BB Counter $36

No. 4. Lipstick Jungle

Ok onto a few indulgences I love, love, love. Equal to that of my first love, but what the hell happened to the new episodes?? (Grey's Anatomy) I'm so over it. One word "Writers' Strike". So, ditch the re-runs and get on board. Steamy, sexy, big time NO NO's are all involved here,but damn, it's hot and funny. Come on over to NBC (I can hear the chimes already) tune in Thurs. 9 PM


No. 5 Gone Country ***
Friday nights will never be the same. John Rich Singer of the Country Duo, Big and Rich hosts and challenges 7 perfomers to new town.. NASHVILLE. It's all about Country. Who'll be the next big Country Star? This series inclues; Dee Snider, Maureen McCormick aka Marsha Brady, Bobby Brown (Whitney's X) Sisquo and a few more. It's a hoot. So far, Bobby Brown is lazy and tries to start trouble with Dee Snider, who is actually very cool. Maureen McCormick is very likeable as well. This show is addicting. It's my new show, like I needed another one. As in all reality series There's drama, fun, crying and real life struggles. Watch it while on the treadmill. CMT Tues and Fri's (check listings)


No. 6 Slim Fast Optima Peanut Butter Crunch

Sweets used to not be a problem. Then along came 35. That all changed. My love for Butterfingers soares like a bald Eagle flying through Opelika, AL (YEE HAW!). Since I'm trying to shape up and get my pre-Gage figure back, I've learning some new tricks. I found a peanut butter bar that tastes wonderful. They're small, as well they should be. But they get rid of my sweet tooth and helps me get through my Butterfinger Cravings when nothing else will do. 1 bar 120 cals, 4 fat grams, eat as a snack, not a meal or your'll eat the entire box. A great alternative if dieting or just watching your calories. Your tastebuds won't know the difference. Publix $2.69 box of 6

No. 7 Cherry -Pom Not-So-Tini
I love to have a martini, but not at home. Sometimes it's all just a little too fussy to pour up the shaker with ice, a jigger of this, little of that....when all your really want is a glass full of relaxing alcohol.. That is why I came up with the Cherry Pom, Not- So-Tini. Ice, GOOD Vodka, Sky or Ketel One, Cherry-Pomograntit juice, Roses Sweetened Lime Juice and a splash of soda. Stir and Enjoy. Delishhhhh! It's so light, refreshing and never, ever fussy. Cherry Pom is available at Publix (Small bottle) is around $4.
