I wanna be a Surfer Girl!

Philosophy sent me the latest in their yummilicious body sets, Surfer Girl, last month. I generally give the sets away to our readers but this one perked my interest. Not many (if any) people know about my secret obsession with surfers. I moved to Southern California when I was 16 and spent years going to the beach almost daily. I had a great tan (while using lots of sunscreen and hats ) and dated cute surfer boys but what I really wanted was to be that cool surfer chick who drove up with her surf board on the top of her car, shaking her long tangled sun bleached hair as she zipped up her wetsuit and bravely paddling out to sea without fear of sun, sharks, or drowning (all of which I am deathly afraid of). I remember watching the surfer girls with envy as they caught the perfect wave and the exhilaration on their faces as they were brought back to shore. Each of those memories are tinged with the smell of sea, fruity surf wax and glistening skin. Which is what the Surfer Girl exfoliating shower gel and lotion offers! The products smell delicious and leave your skin with a hint of gold shimmer. There is also a sparkling gold lipgloss that I've been using on top of my usual-- it gives me just the golden tinge I need to face the summer days. Philosophy Surfer Girl Set $35 at Sephora.
