Secret Ingredient: Grapefruit

Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit Eau de Parfum Rollerball: I love rollerball perfume and this Fresh version is really energizing and delicious.

ORIGINS Gloomaway Grapefruit Body Souffle: I’m not super huge on body creams but this “body souffle” smells A-MAZING and the citrus scent is known to help boost your mood.

Kiehl’s Nashi Blossom & Pink Grapefruit: When I was sent a bottle of this new fragrance, I was soooo excited to try it.  Not only because it’s Kiehl’s (and I LOVE Kiehl’s) but also because the idea of mixing Nashi Blossom and grapefruit just sounded like perfection to me…and it was.

Josie Maran Moroccan Argan Body Oil – Grapefruit scent: Everyone knows how good Argan Oil is for your skin but grapefruit-scented Argan Oil?  Even better.  It’s naturally scented to balance the mind, body and soul.

Burt’s Bees Refreshing Lip Balm with Pink Grapefruit: Packed with vitamins, this lip balm is hydrating and tastes fantastic.  Granted, I know you’re not supposed to eat your lip balm but let’s be honest…everyone does.

Stila Lip Glaze in “Grapefruit”: A staple in the Stila makeup line, the grapefruit shade of their Lip Glaze is a fun, frosty pink that’s not too pink, if you know what I mean.

C.O. Bigelow Village Perfumer Hand Wash in “Grapefruit”: I’m a sucker for a fancy hand soap and I do enjoy this grapefruit-scented version.  The bottle makes me think it’s from the victorian era and it’s not too drying on my hands.

The Skinny LA Bitch cocktail

So lately I’ve been really into grapefruit juice.  I mean, it’s a favorite of one of my favorites, Ms. Chelsea Handler, and yeah…it’s actually really good for you too.  These facts are exactly what lead me to create my very own signature cocktail, the Skinny LA Bitch.  Give it a whirl and let me know what you think…I’m pretty impressed with myself right now, personally.  Delish.

  • Ice
  • 7 -10 counts of Belvedere vodka
  • Light Grapefruit juice- the REAL juice, not cocktail juice (1/2 the calories!)
  • a quick spritz of club soda at the top
