April showers bring May flowers?  April Showers May Bring flowers would be more appropriate.  I’m getting quite frustrated by the sluggish tulips and no-show crocus in my garden.  It’s enough to make me want to throw in the trowel and get a good stiff drink.  Thankfully body showering is much healthier and pleasant and I’m especially pleased to talk about a new product I’ve been using.

It is often said to make lemonade out of lemons but what I really love are limes.  I’ve quenched my thirst with a Brazilian bath and shower gel from Brazilian Fruit that has transported me to the beachside cafes and gum drop mountains of Rio.  The scent of Caipirinhas (a Brazilian drink made from rum, sugar and lime juice served on the rocks) is soothing and comforting.  The best part, there are NO parabens or mineral oil. 

Caipirinha shower gel is appropriate for all skin types, contains sugar cane and lemon pulp extracts to nourish your skin after a long day of work or play.  It’s important to note that the extract comes from lime pulp and will not cause photosensitivity to your skin.  I really love this at night, since I don’t go out to bars, it’s a nice compromise to carry the scent of a drink.    Check out the www.brazilbeautyproducts.com website for all the best skincare!

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.

Don’t be a HOT Racker! 

I love this stuff, a drugstore find, it’s affordable and readily available.  No bathroom should be without Olay’s Calm Release, super sweet smell and non-drying formula.  Lavender just makes me feel good, how ’bout you?

So comforting and relaxing, it’s a total favorite.  In addition to the scent the formula is gentle and moisturizing, my skin feels so good when I use this, it’s awesome to use right before bed.  Speaking of bed-time rituals, I’m always surprised when people don’t take showers at night, it’s so refreshing to get the days worries off and start fresh the next day, don’t you think? 

I can’t help but think of a derogatory Navy term for people who don’t bathe at night, “hot rackers”… rack = bed, and hot = not bathed.  I can’t help but think this to myself in the back of my mind if I can’t shower at night, like right now because it’s so late I don’t want to disturb all the sleepy heads in the house!

Thanks to Total Beauty and CEW for the chance to try this fantastic product!
