Brown Sugar Scrub by Bath and Body Bliss

When you are pregnant, scents are a love hate affair, especially if they are food-related. Some immediately send you running for the bathroom, while others can create some pretty strong cravings.

So was the case when I received some products from Bath and Body Bliss. As soon as I opened their Brown Sugar Scrub, immediate memories of Mulling Spices and wonderful Holiday memories came flooding back. This scent was so incredible that while in the shower, it made me think of Sweet Potatoes from Texas Roadhouse smoothered in butter and brown sugar. The scent was THAT good.

I have never used a Sugar Scrub before, so I was unsure exactly what the texture would be like. I found it to be soft and non-abrasive, while it also lathered and felt so silky smooth. Bath and Body Bliss’s Sugar Scrub is made of Shea Butter, Aloe Vera Butter, Chamomile, Patchouli, Jasmine, Yarrow and fresh brown sugar. Talk about moisturizing and I loved how it left the scent on my skin even after leaving the shower. My boys were begging to use this product, as well.

Some of their other Scrubs include: Chocolate Exfoliating Body Wash, Gingerbread Man Scrub and The Pumpkin Patch Body Scrub.

Shea Butter soap by Hollyrose Aromatherapy

Last week I received some products from Hollyrose Aromatherapy. I was excited, as my entire mailbox was filled with such a wonderful scent. Holly sent me a Shea Butter soap in her custom Aromatherapy blend and a Cocoa Butter Bath Truffle in the same scent.

The soap was larger than expected and I loved the “Handmade” imprint. Holly’s custom Aromatherapy blend is a mix of peppermint, sweet orange, bergamont, lavender and rosemary. I absolutely loved this scent. When using this soap in the shower, the scent was really refreshing and invigorating.

My Shea Butter Soap came in a blue-ish green color, which delighted my 4 year old who has Pervasive Development Disorder, a form of Autism. Green is his favorite color and he asked how, “the soap girl” knew to send a soap in Green. In our house, everything revolves around the color Green with our son, so he was most excited to take a shower each morning using this soap.

Hollyrose Aromatherapy sells other handmade products such as Foaming Bath Butter, Roll-on Perfume Oil, Emu Oil, Soy candles, Sugar Scrubs and so on.

Design-her Gals

Have you noticed that cute banner in my sidebar with the lovely looking pregnant gal that looks a little similar to me? That would be my blog gal from Design-her Gals.

Design-her Gals and their Gal to Gal Foundation are trying to raise $50,000 in the month of October for women with Stage 4 breast cancer. This year, the funds that are raised will be going to Making Memories, a wonderful organization that fulfills wishes for Stage 4 breast cancer patients and their families. In addition, they will be helping sponsor the first global internet site designed exclusively for patients in advanced stages of breast cancer. This site will be multi-tiered and multi purpose and will serve as a centralized location for all Stage IV resources.

To raise the $50,000, they are selling a t-shirt that says, “Breast Cancer has no borders,” and donating $10 from every paper print order that you make. You can design your Gal and have it printed up on cards, labels, stationary and so on. The Gal “dressing room” is filled with adorable ideas to make your Gal look the most like you.

Be sure to go check them out by clicking the banner in my sidebar, spread the word and help them reach their $50,000 goal.
