I know this sounds totally cheesy, but one thing I love to do when I’m in the shower is read aloud the phrases on the sides of Philosophy bottles. I always keep some of the body washes, shave gels and cleansers on hand (a girl’s gotta have choices) as food for thought when I’m shampooing or shaving my werewolf legs. 🙂
Last night I was reading a bottle of Purity Made Simple (PMS?) for the umpteenth time. I can’t even count how many bottles of the stuff I’ve gone through over the years…
I love trying new face washes, but Purity Made Simple is the one I always come back to. It takes off everything, even waterproof mascara, and doesn’t strip my skin or cause breakouts. It’s probably my favorite Philosophy product, evah (have you seen Sephora’s cute $10 travel-sized sample bottle?).
Purity Made Simple isn’t the only Philosophy product I use on a regular basis. Their bath gels, scrubs and lotions have some of the best textures and scents around and leave my skin oh so soft and yummy. 🙂
A few more fab Philosophies…
- Amazing Grace Perfumed Buffing Wash ($26), Shave Gel ($15) and Perfumed Body Spritz ($25)
- Unconditional Love Firming Body Lotion ($34)
- Soul Owner Foot Cream ($14)
- Kiss Me Very Emollient Lip Balm in Clear ($10)
Ladies, I say we end the weekend on a high note. 🙂 What a good philosophy, yah?
I think it’s time for a giveaway!

My philosophy on love comes from a forum topic on another blog– Would you let your (future) daughter marry this sort of man? If not, then why are you wasting your time on him?
I try to realize that breakups happen, that you can always learn something from them, and that real love still takes a little bit of work. 🙂
Jessica R says

christa says
July 13th, 2009 at 1:59 amcoming from a really bad breakup of a long relationship, what i’ve learned has become my philosophy on love. for me, love has always been a choice. but i only realized now that love is the choice not to forget. that despite how angry, hurt, tired, disappointed or whatever else you may be, you still choose not to forget how much the other person means to you. how much you love them. to be able to treat them with respect, with love, even when they’re being their worst, because you know deep down they’re what matters most. for me, that’s what love is. and that’s what i’m hoping for the next time around.

Being kind and loving is ALWAYS more important than being right.
Grace says
July 13th, 2009 at 6:03 amOne of my main philosophies on love is to not expect or try to change your significant other. You will always be disappointed. You know you’re in it for the long haul when you’ve discovered all of his flaws and you accept and love him despite them. Also, my other philosophy is that you will never be able to fully love someone else until you accept and love yourself. This sounds corny, but it’s so true. Oh, and lastly, be willing to compromise…. Try to take into equal consideration both yours and your partner’s needs and wants.

Josephine says
July 13th, 2009 at 6:17 ammy philosophy on love is best said by Marianne Williamson, I remember these words as I enter any relationship, “if there isn’t fire then it isn’t love..if it doesn’t insist that you move to your next level, if it doesn’t take your heart and make it explode in a million pieces only to fall back together again in some moment of enlightened understanding, then you haven’t really loved”

Katy says
July 13th, 2009 at 12:14 pmMy philosopy on love is that we meet certain people in our lives that we have a connection with so that we are able to do two things: 1) heal past relationships through our current relationship with them and then 2) if we’re able to work through that with them with an open mind, we are able to move our love for that person to a higher, more spiratual and fufilling relationship that can face anything. 🙂 Maybe it doesn’t sound too sweet, but it has sure opened my eye in my relationship with my husband and done nothing but strentghen our love for eachother.

Megan says
July 13th, 2009 at 1:27 pmMy philosophy on love is a very old one “4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. 8Love never fails.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)

July 13th, 2009 at 2:22 pmi would have to agree with sparklingpinkgorilla; never take love too seriously or hold on too tight. i just went through a rough breakup after 1 year and 3 months, and i think it was because i was holding on too tight
Kerry says
July 13th, 2009 at 2:26 pmMy philosophy is that love is a verb. You have to show people how you feel about them. It’s no good just to tell them.

tabby says
July 13th, 2009 at 3:10 pmTo love is the most important thing you will ever do. Love & respect go hand in hand. Be careful who you trust to love you, but not who you choose to love. Love should be given freely, unconditionally & undeservedly. You only have to answer for yourself in the end.
A says
July 13th, 2009 at 3:11 pmLove is about two people growing into one soul.
Rani says
July 13th, 2009 at 3:15 pmHi Karen! My Love Philosophy is “Not to over analyze and to accept love for what it is”..this is especially helpful for us ladies who tend to do it more than we like to admit. We analyze and then over analyze and then micro analyze some more until we are super confused and then have to confer with our friends so they can analyze with us.
It’s so much better to just let love happen and accept it for what it is..It’s like stopping and smelling the roses..you won’t see what you have, if you constantly are trying to find the bad.
That’s just my two cents!
Michelle says
July 13th, 2009 at 3:21 pmDon’t ever settle for less than a person who you love with all your heart and who loves you back with all their heart. You deserve that, so hold out for it. It will happen one day.
Kerry says

Ginger says
July 13th, 2009 at 9:00 pmI believe that love is bountiful and that a person can fall in love more than once. I believe to truly love someone, you accept them and be there for them. Love forgives, encourages, and supports. Love can be a simple hug, a smile, or a cup of coffee given to you by someone who cares. Love doesn’t have limits…it should be given unconditionally and received whole heartedly.

Love is really all around when we look for it. It’s beautiful and accessible.

July 14th, 2009 at 10:52 pmPlease enter me. My philosophy on love is that love is an action word and that if the actions don’t match the sentiment than it’s not love. By remembering this you limit your chances of loving those who don’t truly love you.
L says
July 15th, 2009 at 4:28 amLove is when the sum is greater than its parts. You can break it down into traits — intelligence, wit, generosity, etc. — but ultimately, there’s a little something that’s unexplainable. I’m usually insatiably curious, searching for any answer to any question I deem interesting or important, but when it comes to love, there are new rules. Yes, you determine what personality attributes make you care for the person and assess the practical factors that enter in a relationship to cover compatibility on all levels (mental, emotional, practical, physical). The little extra, however, is perhaps the one mystery in life that we should simply embrace rather than attempt to decipher.
