Mother’s Day or Mothers’ Day?

Do you gift moms that you know from around the way? or just your own mom?  In the past I have gifted a little something to moms that I know may not get anything because their husband is away, kids are too young, or that are older and give me all that great unsolicited motherly advice! 

Whoever you’ll be gifting this Mother’s Day, you may be interested in this cute gift basket from Bath & Body Works.  The basket includes all the best scrumptiously scented products from the Enchanted Orchid Signature Collection.  Body Lotion, Shower Gel with  body sponge, and the refreshing Body Splash. Retail $32.50 in Bath & Body Works stores and online. 

Mother’s Day is May 11, 2008  so don’t delay!

I have been in my garden all weekend, turning the soil, making a new compost pile, weeding and watering and combatting the weird bushes that are trying to take down my apple trees.  Despite these horrible mangrove type bushes twising around them, trying to bring them down, my little apple trees are sprouting pretty little blossoms.  I love the blossoms, it’s the first real sign of spring and make me so darned happy I can’t tell you.

My dream next year is to plant 15 Cherry Blossom trees (I’ve wished this for the last 4 years!) because I love the blossoms so much.  It’s not going to happen again this year, so for now I will appease myself by camping out at local Cherry Blossom trees for our family ohanami party.  Until then… 

Bath & Body Works has captured the fresh scent of spring with a crispy citrus and floral scent named Blushing Cherry Blossom.  I LOVE it, what a boost to the psyche after a long blah winter. 

Top Notes: Mandarin, Leafy Green Accord, Sparkling Quince, Lush Berries, Fresh Melon
Mid Notes: Rose Damascena, Super Hedoine, White Jasmin, Rose Juliette Greco
Dry Down Notes: Musk, Violet, Soft Amber, Creamy Sandalwood

The scent is available in several different Bath & Body Works products. 

Eau de Toilette ($19.00)

Body Lotion ($10.00)

Shower Gel ($10.00)

Body Splash ($11.00)

Body Cream($11.00)

I tried the shower gel as well and it is divine, this is a must try line.  Available in all Bath & Body Works stores and @ www.bathandbodyworks.com  I can’t help but think: Fresh, Radiant, Blissful.  Happy Beauty Bathing Everyone!
