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.

This year, make a list of New Year’s Resolutions that you not only CAN keep but will enjoy keeping. Treat yourself to beauty, relaxation and luxury.

1. Resolve to exfoliate weekly at least. Get yourself a lush and aromatic scrub that clears pores, lifts dead skin cells and polishes skin and glow, glow, glow in 2007.

2. Resolve to fight lines and wrinkles before they start by moisturizing daily.

3. Resolve to treat yourself to a deliciously long soak in a warm bath once a week. Whether you use bath salts, a bath bomb or a foaming bath oil, make it a total experience. Play mood-setting music, burn scented candles, make it your time to unwind from the hectic pace of everyday life.

4. Get a makeover. Its a great way to try out a new look and discover new colors that you never knew would look great on you.

5. Update your hairstyle. If you’re bold enough, try a new cut or style. Look through magazines and on the net to see what cuts might suit your face and lifestyle. If you’re timid or like your hair the length it is, add some accessories to dress it up. Hairsticks, decorative hair pins and jeweled ponytail holders are a few of the ways to give hair some pizazz.

6. Get a professional manicure even if you usually do your own nails. It’s a great help to have them professionally shaped or try some nail tips. Go bold with a little nail art. You won’t believe the mood lift you get with a shiny coat of nail polish.

7. Check out our Beauty Store for great deals on some of the latest and best personal care products for a fragrant and gorgeous new year.
