Jillian With a J.com Creates Bath Bombs for Men and Comes Out on Top

Posted on 28 December 2005 by Angelique

Jillian With a J .com sales skyrocket through the offering of bath bombs for men.

(PRWEB) December 17, 2005 — Jillian With a J .com hits the untapped “Male Market” with bath bombs created especially for men.

The unique online boutique “Jillian With a J.com” is dedicating bath products to sophisticated, classic, intense yet refined men who are not too proud to bathe.

Jillian With a J .com has been open a short 8 months and with the passing holiday season has seen sales skyrocket through the offering of male focused bath bombs.

“There is a demand for male bath products out there and we aim to fill it. Men bathe too, they lead stressful lives and need to soak and rejuvenate as much as women do.” says Jillian.

With bath bomb names like “The Gentleman”, “The Boyfriend” and newly created, “The Metrosexual” Jillian With a J .com is proving that men bathe and they are proud of it.

Jillian says, “I have created a line with a variety of scents for men. Not all men want to smell like cupcakes and chocolate chip cookies and our scent descriptions reflect that. I have fun, I push the envelope and I make fun of the macho stereotype that men don’t take baths.”

Jillian With a J. com is proud to announce that their male bath bombs are now offered at a revolutionary men’s specialty store in Chicago, “Manifold” that focuses on bath and body products specifically for men. http://manifoldstore.com/

Jillian says that bath bombs for men are just the beginning. “We are in the amazing stage of creating 98.6% natural body washes, body sprays and soaps for men in the same scents and names. This is an exciting time for Jillian With a J.com and I know that we will create a revolutionary trend.”

Jillian With a J .com specializes in cruelty-free bath treats for women, children, men and even furry friends! Enjoy Bath Salts, Soaps, Bath Bombs, Buddha Bombs, Pedicure Bombs, Doggie Bombs and Bath Bombs for Men.

My Favorite is finally on Sale!

Posted on 27 December 2005 by Angelique

By: Wendy Owen

Didn’t get what you really wanted this holiday season? Yeah, me neither…but now I can because of leFashionista’s great sale items!

After month’s of drooling over Besso’s Motorcylce bag, it can finally be mine (was $165, now $150)! I also love the Diva Collection Espionage Bag (was $140, now $120) but I truly can’t decide.

You may have a hard time too with the myriad of deals that leFashionista has right now. From $20 hobo bags to $8 bath salts from Jillian with a J, you can treat yourself to two or three sale items without breaking a sweat.

The piece d’resistance? Leana Couture Criss Cross Tanks for only $50! Loved by stars like Ashlee Simpson and Mandy Moore, these tanks are simple yet sexy.

So what are you waiting for? Return that stupid set of cartoon pajamas that your aunt got you and get what you really want from leFashionista before these great deals are gone!

Meet Juju Leroux

Posted on 23 December 2005 by Angelique

By: Wendy Owen

Did you ever think that calypso cool and urbanite chic could merge into sophisticated jewelry? Juju Leroux did, and created her own line of island inspired jewelry with an uptown feel.

In the same vein as last years Indian-inspired jewelry come Juju Leroux’s exotic earrings and necklaces. In beautiful Capri blues and rich reds, her designs bring the exotic into style in a whole new way.

With names like the Carmen Miranda Cluster Necklace and the Blue Laguna Cluster Earrings, Juju Leroux’s line puts the “fun” in functional. Juju Leroux also offers 20 items exclusively at leFashionista for sweet prices, starting at $20 for the and as much as $122 for the Azavache Flor Necklace with Swarovski crystals.

Even if Island Cool isn’t your style, Juju Leroux has something to offer everyone. From the trendsetter (her luxe Peacock Necklace is to die for!) to the demure (the Blue Laguna Linear Earrings) Juju Leroux has it all.

My personal favorite is the Blue Laguna Necklace ($160). Paired with a white tank, jeans and sandals for spring it’s perfect for casual glam.

Charlize, originally uploaded by leFashionista.

By: Wendy Owen

Fur is hot, hot, hot this holiday season, and the stars don’t mind showin’ it.
Not the real stuff, of course, because, HELLO, when did you ever see a burgundy colored rabbit or chinchilla? Exactly.

Whether it is on the trim of your coat, the rim of your boots or as a dramatic wrap like the one Charlize Theron is seen wearing here, flaunt it while the weather is still cold.

Fur Tip:
Make sure you don’t go TOO crazy with your fur. Like everything else, moderation is the key. Don’t do fur purse, fur stole, fur shoes, fur ipod case….you get the point. Wear your fur pieces with neutral colors so they stand out! Afterall, you want to make sure you look more Soho than Arctic Tundra!

Princess Survival Kit, originally uploaded by leFashionista.

By: Wendy Owen

My sister is a glamour queen. Seriously. She loves clothing designers, beauty products and shoes more than anything, and if it’s in the pages of Vogue, it’s gold. This year, I’ve been racking my brain on what to get her…another gift card to Saks is boring and she seems to have everything already.

Then I saw the Princess Survival Kit and my worries were over. It’s perfect for her discerning tastes without breaking my bank! I just know she’ll flip over the Jillian With a J bath bombs because she is a bath junkie and loves to try new, fun things. The tank top is totally cute too, and is also something you can’t find just anywhere.

Even though Christmas is coming up and you aren’t supposed to buy anything for yourself, I think I might get myself a few Jillian With a J bath bombs. I hear they have cookie scented ones…yum.

Visit www.le-fashionista.com now and order yours before the holiday season slips you by!

Betsy Johnson Watch, originally uploaded by leFashionista.

By: Wendy Owen

The bizarre queen of the couture and the hip, Betsey Johnson, released her line of watches in department stores everywhere this month. Known for her wacky patters, bold colors and beautiful lines, Betsey’s watches live up to her kooky couture style.

These silver antique style watches are full of details, just like you would expect. Renaissance scrolls, ethnic carvings and yes, tassels adorn these watches. They come in so-gaudy-they-are-cute miniature armoirs with zebra and pink lining.

These babies are so new and hot, you can barely find them on the internet! I saw the new line at Dillards, but Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdales carries them also.

Get down with your bling-chic self and try out a Betsey Johnson for your next time piece accessory.

Crystal Stone Watch $295.00
