Welcome to Bri Books and happy Valentine's Day. In honor of the day of love (self love, familial love, etc), I want to bring a quick beauty-focused episode about my favorite skincare, makeup and beauty picks to help you practice the art of self-love 24/7. I'll jump right in. Lush Valentine's Day Collection. Once again, as always, Lush has pulled out the stops when it comes to Valentine's Day. I think Lush is the perfect 'To me, from me' gift. Love can be friendship and laughter and wild nights and quiet mornings. Lush is all about celebrating all the loves in your life and finding ways to celebrate them. The brand has several V-Day specific gifts, but I want to talk about my favorites: The Flower Bombshell, Love Letter Bath Bomb, Sex Bomb Bath Bomb gift set, and the Strawberry Heart soap. If you want something luxe feeling and special, Lush is the way. The flower bombshell gives the most romantic rose scented soak ever. Flower petals float atop shimmering pink waters, and rose absolute and lemon oil create a cheerful, rose scent that'll sweep you off your feet. It's a truly dcadent bathing experience, and the best part is, you can save half of it for another day. Bakeup Makeup Beauty Palettes for Valentine's Day inspired color. For the color fanatics, the gotta-catch-em-all types, this one's for you. Save $20 and get all four Palm Palettes (pastels, primaries, neons and neutrals)! Each Palm Palette features eight buttery, buildable shades that can be mixed and matched for endless looks. From Monday morning to Saturday night, any occasion and every emotion. This kit will truly unleash your creativity. Curated by Jo Baker from the most loved neutral palettes of the last 20 years, Desert Road Trip contains eight everyday, essential neutrals.  The bold Micro Palm Palette primaries represent foundational colors, empowering you to express your primary emotions. Nakery Beauty Skin Repair Double Retinol and Collagen Face and Body Treatment.   Super, concentrated yet gentle, 2 fast-acting retinols unite to firm & reduce wrinkles from head to toe. A revolutionary innovation in anti-aging!  Encapsulated retinol targets fine lines + wrinkles over time while fast-acting retinoids, boosted with collagen peptides, instantly penetrate the skin for skin repair and immediate wrinkle-fighting action  Counteracts skin aging + UV damage and improves cell renewal process  Controlled, constant release delivery system allows for no redness, no irritations, no flakiness, no dry-feeling or down time between uses   Multi-tasking: face + body, gentle enough for daily use. Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Micro Serum and Elemis Pro-Collagen Rose Facial Oil. I love this serum and the luxurious, soothing facial oil. The serum phase delivers skin-quenching actives whilst the oil phase has rich soothing properties. Enriched with a unique Red Algae, clinically proven* to deliver 3x more hydration than Hyaluronic Acid, and antioxidant Rose Centifolia extract, to support and strengthen the skin's barrier. Plumps, firms, and smooths fine lines and wrinkles. The exceptionally lightweight facial oil formula is infused with precious English Rose Oleo Extract and a blend of hydrating marine actives. This anti-aging oil helps to soften the look of lines and wrinkles and leaves the skin looking more youthful. Nourishing oils of Sweet Almond, Jojoba, and Coconut provide a lightweight base easily absorbed by the skin for a radiant and dewy fresh complexion. Be Delicious DKNY Orchard Street. This is an excellently romantic fragrance, inspired by the energy of the Lower East Side. Floral, fruity, lady apple and jasmine scents combine with cedar wood to create an unforgettably luxe fragrance. Real Techniques Pastel Pop Collection. The Real Techniques Pastel Pop Plumped Up Base Set features 3 dense face brushes and a makeup spatula to conceal, cover, and brighten for your dreamiest complexion yet. The makeup brush kit includes the 098 Small Conceal Brush, 099 Expert Edge Brush, 100 Soft Accent Brush, and a Makeup Spatula. These makeup brushes work best with liquid and cream foundation, concealer, highlighter, and blush for a bright, skin-like finish. The makeup spatula helps you spread foundation and color correctors into a thin layer for an even finish. Shani Darden Moisture Plumping Serum. A silky, non-sticky serum powered by snow mushroom and glycerin to effectively attract, retain & replenish moisture for instant and continuous plumping hydration. Unlike other serums that hydrate only temporarily, our high-performance formula floods skin in long-lasting hydration. A breakthrough blend of visibly plumping pentavitin, water-binding snow mushroom and glycerin, moisture-replenishing panthenol, seamlessly melts into skin to reveal plump and bouncy, dewy skin.  Snow Mushroom & Glycerin provide instant moisture and long-term hydration. Baebody Gummy Collagen Vitamins. These 60 citrus-flavored gummies provide you with the building blocks of your body. Perfect for strong bones, skin, muscles, ligaments and more. Can be supplemented with collagen moisturizer, collagen cleanser, and collagen teas for your inner and outer beauty Beia Beauty Lavender Lust candle and Intimacy Serum. For anytime moisture, wherever you need it most, Body & Intimacy Serum was formulated for all-purpose pleasure—anywhere. Made with sustainably sourced ingredients—like squalane, coconut oil, and green tea—this luxurious serum naturally rejuvenates your skin and body to enhance your everyday skincare routine and intimate moments alike. Featuring sleek glass packaging with eco-conscious, refillable packaging, this serum was made for the nightstand—not the back of the drawer.

I got an email from a listener named Kristy, who asked me - “How can I keep the skin on my body from becoming a wrinkled ‘prune” in the winter time? It always gets so dry. Help!” If this sounds like you, this episode is for you! Don't worry - maintaining healthy and soft skin on your body during the dry winter months is easier than you think! Seriously. There are some easy fixes that take almost NO effort and don't break the bank - you just have to basically approach your everyday showers and baths differently. Why? Because there are so many things that we tend to do as we are going about our normal shower/bath routine that sabotage our efforts for soft skin. So let's just STOP doing them! In this episode I talk about - WHY your beloved hot showers are killing the moisture levels in your skin How to do bare bones exfoliation for your skin the easy way… (with just a washcloth if you have to) or how to buy or make your own DIY body scrub How to remember to moisturize properly and  SURPRISE- why using too much soap or body wash all over is another big NO NO…(I know, I know, it's not gross…just listen, ok?)   Here is a link to all of my favorite types of body care products that I talk about in this episode -  My Favorite Body Care Product List from my Amazon Store - https://amzn.to/4ar2VKo   DIY Body Scrub recipe -  1/2 cup brown or white sugar 1/4 cup Organic cold pressed oil (Sweet Almond and Jojoba are great) 1-2  drops of your favorite essential oil (no more!)  Mix throughly with a knife and transfer to a small plastic container that you will use in the shower after soaping up. Recipe is for one application. Discard after about 7-10 days.   Love the show?

I enjoy making my own skin moisturizer out of tropical butters like shea butter, cacao and cupuaçu butter, melting those, and adding luxurious plant oils like Argan, Jojoba, and Seabuckthornfruit Oil for a creamy consistency. I don't have to add any preservatives or emulsifiers because I don't add water to those creams. Instead, I spray my face with Rose Water or Witch Hazel Hydrolate before applying the face balm for added moisture and a toning, pore-refining effect. Lavender and Cistus grow abundantly around me, so I use them to make my own herbal-infused oils, which I use directly as a body oil, or in my creams. Some oils have strong medicinal properties, you don't even have to infuse herbs into them, like Andiroba and Copaiba Oil from Brazil, and many others.

People always ask me, ‘what's next?' which I've always found weird. What I'm doing right now is pretty important and pretty amazing. Or even being a mom, like is that not enough?” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Tisdale about how motherhood changed her relationship with beauty, how she starts her day with simple rituals, and why she decided to be vulnerable about her struggles with mental health.  Please note this interview was completed before the SAG strike was initiated on July 12th, 2023 Take 15% off our postbiotic hand wash with code HANDWASHPOD.

21. Clean Beauty – A Conversation with Gabriel of Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc.   I was shocked when Gabriel told me that we each have 5-7 pounds of skin and that our skin is our biggest organ. The skin works as a filter, so what goes on our skin goes into our bodies. Yikes! It made me think about what types of products I use on my skin, hair, and nails.   Ironically, I just returned from my annual National Association of Nutritional Professionals conference. One of the speakers mentioned that within 4 minutes of using nail polish, the chemicals from the polish hit our bloodstream.    When you hear two messages within days that sound the same, I know it's a sign!   One of my big takeaways from my conversation with Gabriel is how we can make our own or DIY natural products. For example, he likes to use Jojoba oil as a moisturizer, and he cooks with essential oils.    Listen to the podcast episode to learn more of his DIY secrets!   Gabriel De Santino is the founder and CEO of Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc., a global natural beauty empire whose brands include Gabriel, Zuzu Luxe, and Clean Kids Naturally. Born of Latin descent and raised off the coast of Mexico, Gabriel, at an early age, was naturally drawn to the coastal life and heavily influenced by his grandmother's holistic practices. At the age of 18, Gabriel moved to Seattle, Washington. He knew the Pacific Northwest had a rising fashion and beauty scene and joined the movement at a local beauty counter. It was there that Gabriel fell in love with makeup but was also inspired to look past the made-up face. He soon secured a position at a salon & spa to learn more about the industry and how he may change it. After attending aesthetician school, he quickly discovered he wanted to first correct the skin before covering it up, a mantra he still practices today. As an aesthetician, he struggled because women were using toxic products on their skin. But, given his background as a naturopath and familiarity with sea botanicals, his calling was loud and clear.   In 1992, he solicited his friends and family's moral and financial support. As a result, he started Gabriel Organics, a complete line of all-natural, vegan, gluten-free, and cruelty-free skincare products made with seaweed as its hero ingredient. Gabriel Cosmetic Inc.'s prestige and diverse brand portfolio were created out of one man's vision of clearly defining natural beauty and being able to provide affordable and accessible vegan beauty products to consumers worldwide. Gabriel Cosmetics, Inc. is headquartered in its original area of Redmond, Washington, with over 25 employees and its fearless leader, Gabriel De Santino, leading the charge every step of the way.   This episode is sponsored in part by ButcherBox. I'm picky about fish. I will only purchase wild fish, and yes, I'm that obnoxious person that asks the waitstaff in restaurants where they got the fish! I know that wild is healthier, and this is why I love ButcherBox wild salmon! Recent studies show that higher fish consumption is associated with improved immune function. The study, which looked at the cancer-fighting effects of the Mediterranean diet, found that people who reported eating less fish and more red meat showed several common abnormalities in their blood that suggested a higher risk of cancer. Wild and smaller fish, such as salmon, are anti-inflammatory and associated with better brain, hormonal, and nervous system health.

Liz and Sarah talk about the inspiration for their new team development motto — Premium Buttered Popcorn. In Take A Hike, they ask listeners to weigh in on whether their current state of not wanting to do anything (that involves work) is healthy or unhealthy. Then they answer a Mailroom question about the role that enthusiasm plays when pitching to executives. Is it possible to be TOO enthusiastic? This week's Hollywood Hack has helped Sarah finally achieve the perfect ponytail: the INH Quick Slick Hair Finishing Stick. Finally, this week Sarah recommends a gripping thriller — I Have Some Questions For You by Rebecca Makkai.
