My Christmas List Part 3 — Bath Bliss

I love receiving bath sets as gifts. This is because of my great love for taking baths. I use bubble bath, body scrubs, any sorts of lotions and butters. I don’t have one favorite scent, either. I enjoy new fragrant experiences each time I take a bath.

I believe you can find fun bath products anywhere, from Target and Walgreens to Sephora and Ulta, there are many different price ranges to choose from.

But since this is my wish list, I am going to review three sets that may not be the cheapest (or most expensive), but that I would love to receive!

The first is Philosophy’s Warm By The Fire ($25.00 USD). This set includes a 4.0 oz Double Rich Hot Cocoa Shampoo, Shower Gel, & Bubble Bath; a 2.0 oz Melting Marshmallow Cream Body Soufflé and a 0.5 oz Ooey Gooey S’mores Flavored Lip Shine. I love chocolate and  marshmallows and the thought of bathing in this delicious sweetness…mmm mmm good! Sounds like a cozy evening to me! 

Next is The Body Shop’s Warm Amber Joyful Times (sale price online $17.50 USD). This collection includes 1.7 oz Warm Amber Body Butter, 8.4 fl oz Warm Amber Shower Gel, 2.5 fl oz Warm Amber Body Scrub, Warm Amber Mini Votive, and a two-tone Orange Bath Lily. The Warm Amber notes are citrus, pear, orange blossom, ginger, amber, sandalwood and myrrh. Such a warm, winter fragrance, with a little spice. Very nice!

Last but not least is Bliss The Big ‘Orange’ ($28.00 USD). In this set you get 3.4 oz Orange + White Pepper Shower Gel and 4.2 oz Orange + White Pepper Body Butter. This fragrance contains blood orange, spicy white pepper top notes, and nuances of coriander and white musk. Sweet and spicy, just like us, ladies! 

They say it’s better to give than receive. Whatever. Either way, you can never go wrong with seasonal bath gifts!

Get in the Spirit with Bath and Body Works Holiday Collection

I love how seasonal sets can really get you in the mood for whatever time of year it is. I like wearing bright florals in the spring, beachy scents and anything with lime in the summer, spicier scents in the fall and holiday scents in the winter.

Bath and Body works always has a nice holiday bath collection this time of year. The three frangrances they are featuring are Twisted Peppermint, Vanilla Bean Noel and Winter Candy Apple. The notes are:

Twisted Peppermint:  Top Note: Sweet Peppermint, Mid Notes: Mint, White Sugar; Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk, and Balsam

Vanilla Bean Noel:  Top Notes: Caramel, Burnt Sugar; Mid Note: Vanilla; Base Notes: Tonka Bean and Musk

Winter Candy Apple:  Top Notes: Candy Apple, Orange Zest; Mid Notes: Maple, Cinnamon, Neroli, Rose; Base Notes: Bamboo, Sandalwood, Fresh Musk, Oak Moss and Patchouli

The fragrances come in a great range of products including body scrub, a shimmer scent roll-on, hand soap, room spray, a candle and lotions. Using one scent such as the Winter Candy Apple in room spray, candles and hand wash can make your house smell very festive.

I recommend checking out these products as gifts for friends and family or as a treat for yourself!

Oh Happy Stress Relief — Bath and Body Works Aromotherapy Line Can Help

… and happy sleep plus energy when you need it! I really enjoy the Bath and Body Works Aromatherapy line because the fragrances are soothing and complex at the same time.

My favorite so far is the Lavender Chamomile scent, especially the pillow mist ($10.00 US). I spray this on my pillow every night and let it dry. Then when it’s time to go to sleep, the soft fragrance helps so much. And since it’s had some time to dry, it is not overpowering.

I also like the new Warm Milk & Honey scent. This fragrance includes notes of cinnamon and cloves, and is very comforting. Pour the Luxe Bath ($16.50 US) in your bath water and breathe it in. This will surely relax you!

I have also been using the Mandarin Lime Energy hand wash ($6.00 US). It is quite an invigorating scent. The new Orange Ginger is also fun, and has a kick to it from the ginger. It would be nice to use the lotion and shower gel right before a night out.      

Another thing I like about these products is the packaging. The bottles have an old-time apothecary feel to them. The pillow mist actually comes in a blue glass bottle, which gives it a substantial feel.

I highly recommend these products because of the wonderful scents and the benefits they bring to your mood. As a busy mom, I need lots of help!
