A Delicious Refresher
Channeling a "lazy day at the beach" approach to your office beauty look? Refresh day-old hair with Alterna Bamboo Beach Mango Coconut Refreshing Dry Shampoo. This texturizer zaps oil at the roots without turning hair into a crunchy mess, and gives hair a tousled, beachy look if used to refresh all over, while the sweet smell of mangoes and coconuts hide the fact that you decided to skip the shampoo.

Vacay in a Bottle
Don't be fooled by the golden color: Nars Body Glow won't make you turn streaky, bronze or orange. Instead, this hydrating Monoi de Tahiti oil gives your natural skin tone a boost, adding a hint of golden shimmer for skin that looks sun-kissed -- even if your skin only sees the sun on your commute to the office. You'll definitely want to slather this on everywhere; it smells like vacation and turns skin silky-soft with a dewy sheen.

Go (Coco)nuts
We just can't get enough of coconut oil, and The Body Shop Coconut Body Butter is a classic, ultra-hydrating product that's made with Community Fair Trade virgin organic coconut oil. Unlike using coconut oil straight from the jar, this creamy, indulgent formula sinks into skin quickly and leaves it soft and lightly smelling of coconuts for hours after you apply -- which means you'll be picking up wafts of the relaxing scent throughout the workday, reminding you of your happy place.

Beachy Waves ... Without the Beach
Gnarly Whale Beach Waves Hair Spray is a light, fruity salt spray made by hand with Mediterranean sea salt, coconut oil, grapefruit seed extract and lightly scented with sweet pineapple and spicy ginger. The nourishing formula means you'll get Victoria's Secret model-status waves, not crunchy, frizzy curls. Your coworkers might just think you're heading off to a swimsuit photo shoot -- even if, in reality, you're just going home to re-watch "Lost" in your sweats and wish just a tiny bit that you were also stranded on an island.

Go Crazy Over Mangosteen
In case you're wondering what the heck a mangosteen is and why you would want it in a hand lotion, here you go: This tangy-yet-sweet tropical fruit is a powerhouse of antioxidants and boasts soothing properties. Not to mention, it smells amazing, especially when combined with green tea as it is in Lather Mangosteen and Green Tea Hand Lotion. The formula is also packed with Vitamin E, for extra protection against free radicals. The soothing blend of shea butter, cocoa butter and avocado oil will keep your hands hydrated, without making them so slippery you can no longer type on your computer.
