There are sales, and there are SALES. In honor of Labor Day weekend, we’re having a S-A-L-E. (I think the hyphens somehow make it an even bigger deal.)

For 4 days only, we’re giving you the chance to snatch up some of the biggest savings we’ve ever offered. You’ll find deals on a ton of stuff, like Bliss body- and skincare favorites, Laboratoire Remède formulas, fitness footwear (yes, that includes FitFlops) and products from some of the best brands we carry—we’ve even thrown in a spa treatment discount for you facial fiends.

So between squeezing in your last summer barbecue or beach day this holiday weekend, make sure you find time to squeeze in some savings-filled shopping with our Labor Day event, which only lasts until Monday, 9/7. No matter how busy your weekend is, you really don’t want to miss out on this. (And besides, massive beauty bargains beat yet another burned-to-a-crisp hot dog any day.)

Happy saving!

the billow by FitFlop

I hereby declare January 30th as FitFlop Billow goes on sale day! (wonder if we can get a day off out of this one!)

The Billow by FitFlop was $125 and is now marked down to $99.95 + shipping (unless you have a free shipping code kickin around!)

The Fit Flop’s uniquely built multi-density midsole activates muscles midstep to help tone your thighs, your calves and your glutes. In fact, Fit Flops are biomechanically engineered to absorb shock and lessen joint strain – but with a powerful new built-in micro-wobbleboard workout-enhancing effect.

FITFACT: Fit Flops work your butt muscles more: A SIGNIFICANTLY longer stimulation of the gluteus maximus muscle was measured in Fit Flop wearer trial testing!

I normally wear orthotics. Can I wear the Fit Flop?
The Fit Flop has been designed with a regularly shaped footbed, however, the multi-density midsole creates a micro-wobbleboard action that challenges the muscles of the foot and arch, and therefore might not be suitable for everyone who needs orthotics. We recommend that you err on the side of caution and consult your podiatrist prior to wearing Fit Flops if you currently rely on orthotic support.

Can I wear Fit Flops if I am pregnant?
Again, we’d recommend that pregnant women check with their obstetrician or GP first, before engaging in a fitness routine based around, or a lot of walking in the Fit Flop. Because a pregnant woman’s tendons can be more susceptible to stretching, minor variances in gait and foot flexion caused by use of the Fit Flop might lead to muscle soreness or hyperextension. Note: Walking in Fit Flops is an excellent way to get back in shape post-partum.

Are they suitable for a wide fit?
Yes, Fit Flops are suitable for a wide foot. Because the Fit Flop’s footbed is slightly wider than average, they fit pretty much every foot in width. If you have an extremely high instep, you may have to go up a size initially, or spend a few days wearing in the midsole, which custom moulds and compresses to fit your instep height after a couple of days of intensive use.

Happy Weekend!

Have you gone shopping at any of the post-holiday blowout sales? I attempted to stimulate the economy this evening by taking a little shopping trip downtown. It was a mild evening, so I walked a couple of miles from the office to Union Square. I stopped at a bunch of stores on my way: Anthropologie (a guilty pleasure of mine), J Crew, Banana Republic, Crate & Barrel, Coach, Zara, Barnes & Noble, but nothing jumped out at me. I have always been cautious with my money, but even more so lately. If I don’t love something, I don’t buy it.

Speaking of things I love, I am stocking up on my beloved high intensity eye contour before it goes extinct. My heart broke a little bit when I found out it was going to be discontinued-it’s everything I love and need in an eye cream-a little caffeine to reduce my morning puffy eyes, a little moisturization to fill in fine lines and wrinkles and it made the perfect base for applying concealer on top of-not too slippery, but still hydrating. It’s the perfect all-year eye cream. It’s hydrating in the winter and controls allergy-induced puff. Since I moved to New York two years ago I am allergic to virtually everything. Lucky me.

*sigh* Farewell, my little eye cream friend. You will be missed.

I am so excited to play with the new Laboratoire Remede skin care when it launches. They’ve really got the products under wraps right now. I’m pretty sure the CIA is guarding the samples, because I haven’t been able to get my little paws on any of it, but I am being patient *hint hint*

If you are a Remede lover please don’t wait to stock up on your favorites before they’re gone. If you’re a skin care diva who loves to try the hottest new products, hang tight; The new Remede is on its way!

If you are making a purchase between now and January 3rd, use code: 128918 for 15% off all Bliss and Remede purchases*. Our gift to you to start your new year right.

(*see blissworld.comfor details)

Hello, beauties! I hope you unwrapped lots of gorgeous goodies this year! I am back in New York and couldn’t be happier to be here. After an eleven hour trip home yesterday, I felt more like Miss Hiss than Miss Bliss! I am finally unpacked and squeaky clean after a wonderful shower with all the comforts of home (read: 50 different products in the bathroom to choose from!)

I hope you’ve all signed up for Beaut-e-mail by now. If you haven’t, you’re really missing out! For example, if you signed up for Beaut-e-mail, you’d know that we are having a huge blowout sale on Laboratoire Remede skin care!

Laboratoire Remede is getting a face lift in the very near future, but fear not my little Alchemy and Sweep lovers-these products will be getting a new look but the formula will remain the same. I will be attending a training session on the new Remede products. Don’t worry, I’ll report back with news. I would never keep you lovelies waiting!
