ash magazine: beauty, music and pop culture

About a couple years ago, I received a gift bag filled with Victoria’s Secret Hydrating Body Lotion in scent Sweet Temptation. I’ve been a Bath’n'Body fan since sophomore year in high school and never thought to try any other brand of lotions I could buy at the mall ( I was that loyal and cheap LOL).

But within days of using Victoria’s body lotion, I received compliments from many and realized how great the lotion was. Remember, this was during the winter season, so its very cold and a lot of lotions are not capable of withholding moisture, but Victoria’s did.

Out of all the lotions, my fave was the hand and body cream. I used it religiously. The texture is creamy and smooth, and keeps my skin from being dry.

If you haven’t already tried, check it out at your local Victoria’s Secret Beauty store or on line at its official website, Victoria’s Secret.

Good Charlotte’s, www.myspace.com/goodcharlotte new single ” I Don’t Want to Be in Love ( Dance Floor Anthem)”, is becoming one of my favorite songs out now. Its about the heartache of being in love and getting over it. Its an upbeat song with a great message, which is always a great combo for songs. I’ve never been a fan of reggeaton music, I can tolerate it but no “one” song has made me almost love it. However, Daddy Yankee’s, www.myspace.com/daddyyankee new single, “Impacto (Remix)” featuring Fergie, is growing on me. I’m not fluent in Spanish, so I don’t exactly know what he’s talking about, but, AGAIN, I love the beat and its a great song to dance too. Nelly Furtado, www.myspace.com/nellyfurtado has got to be one of my favorite artists of all time, I’ve been a fan since her first album” Whoa Nelly”. Her new single ” Do it” ( track 9 on her recent album, “Loose”) has always been my favorite. Its another upbeat party song, and a remix with Missy Elliot has been playing on the airwaves ( although its not available on the album).
