What do you want in your Easter basket?
Okay, so it’s been a few years since the Big Bunny left you a basket of candied treats, but let’s face it, that’s not what you want now anyway.
If your significant bunny is looking for ideas to fill a basket of surprises for Easter, steer him over to Bath & Body Works for a gift bag of products that are deliciously full of spring scents and exuberance.
Bath & Body Works has a selection of spring gift sets that start as low as $10. At that price you can afford to delight a few special people with a little spring indulgence.
The bags are bright and cheerfully colored and the sets come in multiple fragrances. If you’re a traditionalist, there are even sets in baskets. My advice: Go for the bags, they will make great spring totes that you can use as a purse, a beach tote or even a cheerful lunch tote.

Valentine’s Day means chocolate and who doesn’t love chocolate? Of course, indulging in your chocolate desires can have weighty consequences. But instead of eating it and later wearing it on your hips, wouldn’t it be nicer to luxuriate in it and wear it all over in a sumptuous scented form?
Bath & Body Works Chocolate Mocha Scrub is a deliciously decadent blend of rich, Belgian chocolate, Napa Valley cabernet grapeseed oil and Hawaiian Kona coffee. The coffee acts as an exfoliant to buff away dead skin cells and is rich in anti-oxidants. Chocolate contains smoothing cocoa butter and natural anti-oxidants. Smelling chocolate releases dopamine and endorphins which elevate mood and relieve stress.
Chocolate indulgences don’t have to contain calories.

It’s Friday and you’re dragging. You do all the right things to perk up your face and your look but you need a boost, both mentally and emotionally.
What fragrance you wear can affect how you feel. Different scents have different effects on mood and energy.
To dispel the Friday “blahs” try something with a citrus-y base. Citrus scents boost energy and enhance mood. Choose something with lemon, lime, grapefruit, or orange in its formula.
Cool Citrus Basil by Bath & Body Works is a blend of basil and citrus with a hint of sun. On any day, it will leave you pleasantly fragranced and refreshed.

If you are like me, the drier and colder weather is already starting to take a toll on your skin in the form of dryness. If left unchecked, dry skin can become flaky, itchy and irritated with tiny cracks that allow even further drying of skin or irritation by everyday chemicals. It’s time to do something naturally good for your extra dry skin before the damage occurs.
The healing power of oatmeal soaks for dry skin has been known for over 400 years. AVEENO takes natural colloidal oatmeal and combines it with rich emollients to cleanse, soothe and moisturize. The oatmeal relieves the itch of dry skin and leaves behind a protective barrier to keep moisture in.
I recommend AVEEN0 Soothing Relief Bath Treatment or Skin Relief Body Wash to relieve dry skin and keep it healthy and moisturized all winter along.
