    Hot In The Hive: Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothies

    One of the beauty world's biggest frustrations (other than, you know, constantly having to shave your legs and pluck your eyebrows), is the concept of products made to look, smell, and sound good enough to eat... but actually aren't edible. What a tease! In fact, one of my friends learned the hard way that the Body Shop's Nut Butter lotion really doesn't taste as good as the name and scent implies. What makes the Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothies slightly more tolerable than other hunger-inducing beauty products, however, despite my sudden urge to hop over to the corner Jamba Juice, is that the brush-on lip color actually contains all the moisturizing properties and conditioning antioxidants of a hydrating smoothie without the sticky-sweet fruit flavoring that would normally tempt you to lick it off your lips all day long. True, I'd have an easier time curbing my hunger pangs if the bright shades were named after inedible flowers instead of juicy just-ripened fruit, but at least I'm not tempted to eat it instead of wear it!


    Price: $17.50

    We all know that an apple a day can keep the doctor away. Turns out that fiber-rich fruit (and its vitamin-rich counterparts) can ward off stress and a range of skin woes, too. At Pacific Waters Spa in Southern California, pears, blueberries and other healthy snacks are cropping up in a slew of body treatments designed to promote health, beauty and overall well-being. The antioxidant properties of blueberry and soy combine for a slimming body wrap aimed at improving skin elasticity and firmness, while apples and pears team up in a nourishing body treatment meant to infuse skin with an irresistible glow. And the delicious scents of pineapple, papaya and starfruit add a stress-busting aromatherapy element to the spa's menu of body scrubs. Getting hungry? Drop by the on-site cafe for a post-treatment smoothie made from -- you guessed it -- fresh fruit!

    Hot In The Hive: Hermes Apple Purse

    You know what's worse than a crappy economy? Bruised fruit. Are you with me? I mean, we all know that an apple a day keeps the doctor away, but how on earth can we be expected to munch happily on our healthy snacks when they come out of our work bags and lunch boxes mangled and battered? Enter Hermes, our favorite source of wholly necessary and completely affordable leather goods and designer doodads (I know sarcasm can be lost over the 'net, but you can be assured I'm using it now). Their lambskin Apple Holder is not just designed to hold and protect your apple from the trials of transportation (yes, one apple, so you better hope it fits), but it's shaped like one too! Okay, okay -- I have to admit it's kind of cute looking, but would you actually use it? Eh... If your answer is yes, more power to you (I guess) -- just don't try to take it on an airplane. I doubt security would be too enthusiastic about its attached knife for increased snacking convenience.


    Price: $365
