** Holiday Gift Guide 2013 **
If you have been reading our blog for the past year you will already know how much I love the Calgon bath & body products. Not only do I love them and use them myself, but I also purchase them and give them as gifts!
One of the great things about Calgon is that they make a wide variety of products in fabulous smelling scents! There is definitely something for everyone on your gift-giving list! If you love floral scents…they have them! If you love fruity scents…they have those too!
We are excited to include Calgon in our Holiday Gift Guide this year and for the review we received a Calgon Hawaiian Ginger Bath & Body Gift Set to review for all of you. This gift set includes a body mist, body wash, bubble bath, body cream, bath salts and a shower pouf. Everything comes in a gift box & is ready for gift giving!
** Complimentary Products Received for Review **
First of all let me tell you…this Hawaiian Ginger is one of my FAVORITE fragrances from Calgon! I have used the body mist, body wash and body cream before and LOVE them! This time around I also got to try out the bubble bath and the bath salts in the lovely Hawaiian Ginger scent.
Scent Description: The invigorating aroma of orange and melon blends with the uplifting crispness of lemon and Hawaiian ginger in this clean, fresh fragrance. Precious woods and musk complete the sensuous affect.
This fragrance is AMAZING and I absolutely LOVE IT! I am the type of girl who loves to layer on her products and when you layer it is important that you use the same fragrance within all of your bath & body products. The Calgon products are high-quality products that every woman can afford!
For the past 3 weeks I have been using ALL of the products that came in my gift set and everyone has been complimenting me on how lovely I smell! Yay! Even my hubby who is picky about fragrances loves it when I wear the Hawaiian Ginger.
Head on over to Calgon and take a look around. You will be impressed with the wide variety of fragrances & products that they have to offer. You can find Calgon products online and at some of your favorite retailers across the nation.

Right down the street from me is a local CVS Store and I love going into that store to by my health, beauty, bath and body products. In addition to those personal things for myself and my family…I love to shop there for fabulous birthday …
It is crazy how expensive some personal care items have gotten over the past few years. I know when I hit the store to stock up on shampoos, soaps, lotions and other similar items, it scares me to go to the register! Razors in particular …
** 2013 Holiday Gift Guide Feature **
As you all know…we kicked off our 4th annual holiday gift guide yesterday and I am really excited to introduce you to our next company called Skinsations who makes & sells handmade soaps and bath products. I don’t know about all of you, but I love to give and receive pampering products like these!
Skinsations handmade soaps, soap loaves, glycerin soaps, kid’s soaps, party favor soaps, gift baskets, men’s soaps, lotions, balms, guest soaps and more! If you love handmade soaps in a wide variety of scents and styles…this soap shop is for you!
For this review I received 2 full-size complimentary products to try out for all of you. Each one comes individually packaged and you can bundle up several to give as a gift or give them out individually as secret Santa gifts or as stocking stuffers.
The Lavender Dreams Handmade Soap is a large hand-cut soap bar with embedded lavender buds within the soap that provide skin exfoliation. The lavender essential oil used in the soap making process is there to relax you as you bathe or shower. Hey, we all need to relax a little more…right? For $4.50 a bar, you can’t go wrong with this one! I used this while showering and loved how it sloughed off my dead skin off my legs & feet and left silky smooth skin behind.
The Shea Butter Souffle is my favorite out of the two products that I got to review. This whipped body butter comes in a 2 ounce or 3 ounce jar and a little bit goes a long way! It is all natural, contains no preservatives and no chemicals. It is made with pure unrefined shea butter, lavender and vitamin E. It is really creamy, rich & emollient and I love that it absorbs quickly and leaves your skin feeling baby soft! Price ranges from $6 to $8 per jar depending on the size you purchase and it’s worth every dime!!!

I used to work on my feet for 10-12 hours a day and many days up to 16 hours, back when I was young and could handle that! I wore pumps to work at my first job for at least 8 hours of the day …
** Complimentary Products Received for Review ** I love to pamper myself and consider myself to be a bath & body diva. That’s right…if you looked in my master bathroom right now I think many of you would “gasp” at the amount of skin care …
