Like many women, I enjoy bath and beauty products and especially look for unique products that I haven’t tried before. I was recently introduced to Garden Apothecary, which is an organic bath and beauty company that produces hand-made, small-batch botanical products for the face and body. The Garden Apothecary web site offers a variety of products including drinking teas, bath teas, candles, sugar scrubs, face and body mists, massage oils, mud masks and flower essences (perfumes), which are all made in Half Moon Bay, California. I was fortunate enough to get to review two products that are made by Garden Apothecary—the Evening Aphrodisiac Face and Body Mist and the Evening Aphrodisiac Flower Essence roll-on perfume.
Both of these products remind me of a blooming flower garden in the spring. The Garden Apothecary Face and Body mist has a light, refreshing feel to it and is perfect after a bath or shower. At first I was a little worried that the fragrance was too strong for me (since I tend to be sensitive to floral fragrances), but I used just a bit of the mist and it wasn’t not too overpowering. What is really great about this product is that in addition to being organic, the ingredients are simple and straightforward with only three components—purified water, organic Neroli oils and organic Jasmine oils. Some of this spray’s botanical properties include: Antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antispasmodic, aphrodisiac, as well as several others.
The Evening Aphrodisiac Flower Essence perfume comes in a .3 ounce roll-on and would fit perfectly in a purse or travel bag. The special blend of botanicals found in this particular perfume will customize to your particular skin scent, making it a little different for everyone. The key ingredients in this product are organic almond oil, vitamin e, organic Neroli oil, and organic Jasmine absolute oils. Some of the more botanical properties include: analgesic, anti-inflammatory and aphrodisiac.
My overall thoughts are that these are unique and interesting products that you can treat yourself with or give to someone as a gift.

I had a relaxing bubble bath about a week ago.
Oh my goodness….the last time I soaked in any type of hot water to relax was last May in a Hot Tub, and you cannot count that as it was shared. If I had an unlimited amount of hot water, nice bathing oils or salts, candles, glass of wine and some music, I’d jump in right away.
I like their Cardamom + Beeswax Tea Candle
Actually yesterday morning – no one was home except me and the doggies and I just filled the tub and took some nice me time 🙂
It’s been a few months.
I had a long bath last week.
I had a bath last year
The last time was 3 years ago on a trip. To many people at home with 1 bathroom to be able to have that time.
I do every night before bed
This is a good reminder that it’s been far too long for me.
Well, my last time was in August, but it was in the mountains of Idaho in a hot spring. Better than a tub….I had great views.

oh ages ago…but i still think about it!
I haven’t had a nice bath in about month! I like to take baths after a long day at work, when my feet are super sore.
For a nice wake me up in the mornings, I would like to try the 9 oz
Peppermint Sugar Scrub.
I’d like the try the Luxe Gift Set.
I haven’t had a hot bath in a year or more.
I haven’t been able to enjoy a bath in weeks due to the water crisis here in West Virginia. I am still to afraid to lay in the bath and soak up the water.
Just a few hours ago!
Cardamom + Beeswax Tea Candle would be great to try.
It’s been years since I’ve enjoyed one of those.

About a month ago!
I take baths with my 16 month old all of the time, but I haven’t had a relaxing, peaceful bath since I was pregnant with him.
I would love the Rose Leaf Massage oil. I love it when my husband gives me massages and this would be an extra excuse to get a massage!
Last night! Maybe one tonight as well! I take a ton of baths during the winter and I am in the last month of my pregnancy so I am in there almost every night! Taking a bath helps me to get through the last few weeks of pregnancy!
About a week ago. It was wonderful!
I’d like to try their French Green Clay Mud Mask.

It’s been several months since I had a nice long hot bath. I think about it on the weekends, then something comes up.
I went to the sponsors site and I would also love to try their Cardamom beeswax tea candle.
To be honest it’s been months since I was able to enjoy a hot bath with candles and music, but I shower everyday but it’s not the same a hot bath is so relaxing.

Gosh, I think it was a year ago! I was suffering from a skin problem at took them all the time. Since then… not many!! Wow. Maybe once when I had a hotel to myself in Vegas for the night.

This morning in fact, ya see the shower drain kinda backed up on me and before you know it I’m in the soup

It has probably been at least a year since I enjoyed a nice hot bath! (Way too long!!!)
