Too Too Hot | Gourmet Beauty

Happy Friday! I’m been having a nice few days off, lounging at home, seeing friends and enjoying some much needed rain and gloomy weather! I recently finished 50 Shades of Grey and was so massively dissapointed by the horrendous writing, lack of plot and the constant use of the phrases Jeez and Oh my that I can’t couldn’t bring myself to buy the last two in the trilogy. Instead, I whipped through Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn this week, one of my favorite authors. I suggest all three of her books if you like thriller and crime novels. Her writing is outstanding. I’m now onto Savages by Don Winslow, so I can read the book before I see the movie (can’t wait!).

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Here are a few things that made my week wonderful. All photos are from Instagram (username: GourmetBeauty).

What are a few things making you happy this week?

With the arrival of spring, having clean, soft and polished feet is very important. Here are my favorite products to get feet that are ready to be exposed!

Lush Volcano

This product is amazing. Actually, anything by Lush is amazing but I’ll get to that in my future posts. Volcano is a foot mask that I use weekly. You apply it to clean dry feet and then wrap them in Saran Wrap or, in my case, plastic grocery bags because we are out of Saran Wrap. As long as you seal up your feet somehow the mask will work wonders. Leave your feet wrapped up for 10-20 minutes. You will feel a tingling sensation as it gets to work on deodorizing and sloughing off dead skin. The concoction of cinnamon, kaolin, pumice, tomato, papaya, potato and lemon oil draws out dirt and leaves feet clean and smooth. The product’s smell is a bit strange but you get used to it. Buy it here.

Aveda Foot Relief

This is by far the best foot cream I have come across. The mix of plant-derived oils and exfoliating fruit acids deeply moisturizes your feet and smells fantastic. Go get it. Now. You won’t be sorry.

Lush Lemony Flutter Cuticle Butter

This addicting little jar of fragrant butter does wonders for your hands and feet. I apply this to my heels, in between my toes, my cuticles and nail beds on both my hands and feet and on my elbows. It melts into your skin and smells divine. It is packed full of shea butter, beeswax, avocado oil and fresh lemons. A little goes a long way, which is another reason this is worth the purchase.

Nail Polish

No home foot treatment is complete without a polish application, especially in the warmer months! Here are some polishes I am currently loving for spring:

Essie Too Too Hot-a rich red coral

Essie Pansy-a tropical hot pink cream

Essie Nice is Nice-a muted pastel lilac
