I love both the following:
Crabtree & Evelyn Aloe Vera Hydrating Body Lotion… it has a very soft and subtle scent but it’s very soothing and does not feel heavy at all. Extremely suitable for the summer/during day time.
The Body Shop Body Butter in Passion Fruit… the smell is so nice! I’ve only tried this scent out of all the other ones though, since I got it as a gift. It’s a bit thicker in terms of consistency when compared to the C&E body lotion but it’s a great moisturizer for the night/winter days. But when I use it up I’m definitely going to buy a new one.
What other scents would (anyone) recommend me getting next?
oh yes i love to take a shea butter bath (the body shop) i turn off the lights and light some scented candles and i use a face mask (clarins pure and radiance mask) that is totally relaxing
Shea Butter bath is AWESOME 🙂 Totally relaxing.
yes totally :)))
Mmm, that sounds really nice, Claudine!
I use Lush bath bombs (Avobath) or bubble bars with lavendar in them.
ohh you reminded me i wanted to get some lush stuff for a long time will go and get some stuff tomorrow 🙂
Love LUSH bath bombs (except when they stain the tub… lol).
I need a cooling lotion for my feet.
I’ve never tried this, any suggestions, Sadie?
I usually do a Lush bath
Waving Not Drowning bath bomb, with A French Kiss bubble bar, and Cerwiden’s Cauldron bath melt is lavender-y goodness.
Nice! Do you ever have issues of them staining your tub? I hate that!
I like to get back rubs from my hubby with BBW body butter in the Moonlight Path fragrance.
That’s awesome, you lucky girl!
Oh, nice! I wish I could con the boy to do that more often.
Lush baths!
Also I live right outside of L.A. and while I do my best to avoid the traffic, sometimes I get stuck in it. Don’t ask me why, but the first thing I go for in traffic is my MAC lipglass. I can’t seem to get through a traffic jam with grace without glossy lips lol
Ughhhh, I hate traffic in SoCal, OMG. Death!
Just shower related products. I never seem to have time for a bath but a great smelling, moisturizing body wash (I like the BBW Temptations line) feels so luxurious & relaxing
Nice 😀 That’s my quick-fix, too!
Sometimes I like to take a really long shower and just use nice bodywashes bath stuff. 🙂
I’ll definitely do this when I don’t have time for a bath! Well, or when I’m lazy.
after stressful days my favorite thing to do is go for a run around one of the lakes here in minneapolis or maybe play with some new makeup but tops is to listen to good music and read my favorite blog temptlaia.com!!!! thanks christine for this amazing, fun, exciting, stress reducing blog. my wallet doesn’t thank you though, lol.
Oh, that sounds so fun, Arika! And I’m so flattered ;P
Just taking off my make up is a good stress reviever after a long day. When my skin feels clean and fresh I feel good again!
So true. I feel so good with a clean face!
