Beauty: I scream, you scream, etc.

If you live in L.A. then maybe you've had the supreme privilege of eating gelato at Scoops. If you don't live in L.A., then maybe you should move here just so you can eat gelato at Scoops. Owner Tai Kim invents all these brilliant flavor combinations, like Black Truffle with Honey, Goat Cheese and Purple Basil, Almond Creme Fraiche and Marsala, and Pumpkin Tiramisu. The menu changes all the time, but some of my all-time favorites are Lavender Avocado, Brown Bread, and Chocolate Guinness. And one of the cutest things is that Tai has a dry-erase board where you can add your flavor requests. I always ask for Thai Tea, which in comparison to most existing menu items seems really boring, but oh well.

The more ingenious and ice-cream-obsessed ladies out there may want to try their hands at ME! Bath's ice cream contest. Starting last Friday, the L.A.-based purveyors of ice-cream-themed beauty treats have begun accepting ideas for their newest bath bomb flavor. Winners will get a basket of ME! Bath stuff and a year's subscription to the Ice Cream of the Month Club (through which four Bath Ice Cream scoops will get delivered to your door each month). They've already got Vanilla Berry Ambrosia, Lychee Blossom, Gin Martini, and nearly 40 other flavors, so put your thinking caps on.

Contest winners will be announced July 18. In the meantime I'm loving ME! Bath's new Hawaiian Lei Body Wash, which is yummily infused with hibiscus and orchid and white ginger extracts and makes me want to sip fancy tropical cocktails whilst in the shower.
