Just Add Water (and a give-away!)

When was the last time you totally relaxed and took time for yourself? To tell you the truth, ever since I've had my boys, I can honestly say that times like these are very rare! On Saturday, I spent hours cleaning the bathrooms, doing the dishes, washing the clothes, picking up toys.... You get the idea! I was really exhausted... and then I had a light bulb moment. My friend from work just started an in-home business creating bath products and had sent one home with me weeks ago for me to try out. And... since I had just scrubbed the tubs, I thought it might be the perfect opportunity to take a soak!

I haven't bathed forever! (Ok... I SHOWER every day --- so don't take that the wrong way!) It's just that my 'bathing' time is usually rushed and is not relaxing. I sneak into the shower before my kids wake up or after they're asleep for the night (whenever I know they won't be getting into trouble!) So... I filled up the tub with really warm water and droped in the "Bath Bomb" that Cynthia sent me. (I left the kids with my hubby and locked the door!)

Instantly it started to fizz and smelled HEAVENLY! I'm not sure what she puts in them, but it feels so soothing! She told me that she puts grape seed oil in the recipe (I don't know what that is exactly... but it makes your skin feel really soft!) :)

Anyway... I asked her if I could give some of her product away for blog candy! She graciously accepted.... so I'm giving away a Bath Bomb to one lucky reader! Along with this yummy treat, I will also include this card (above) that I made today!
So do you want to know how to win?!? Tell me what scent(s) you would like to try! You must leave a comment on this post (and leave contact info!) And... I am taking pre-orders for her. (Great for holiday gifts!). If you would like to order something, just send me an e-mail. (julie_stamps@hotmail.com) Shipping will be based on weight and payments can be made through Paypal. If you send me a pre-order by Saturday (November 10th),
you will receive an additional entry! (just leave me another message in the comment section!) Drawing will take place on Sunday, November 11th.

  2. Beautiful card!
    All the scents sound scrumptious, but if I can choose only one, I pick Energy. I love fruit smells . . . so refreshing!

  13. I havent been in the bathtub in 15 years. I store boxes in it. no where in my house am I alone with all these animals. I think the woodland pear would be grand. I just need to rent a hotel room to savor a bath.

  15. I would so love to try these. This is my weakmess -- soaking in a hot tub and aromas of any type. I don't even care which one. I buy these all the time but can rarely find ones that do much for you skin. Cool, I have bookmarked her blog.

  17. O! A bath would be wonderful. I'm like you with the shower/bath thing! So hard to have a relaxing bath with 4 kids! But to choose a Bath Bomb... oh, my! I would have to say Applejack Peel or Woodland Pear or ....or....or... I really don't know how you would pick, they all sound wonderful!!

    If I would win, please use this addy: hillmanfam@woh.rr.com

  19. Isn't it funny how everyone is different? I'm thinking the Woodland Pear would be my favorite. I'm not into overly sweet smells and this one sounds like it'd be toned down and maybe a little musky (with the vanilla).

  32. I love how you used PTI's sentiment with this fun bathtub soak image Julie! You are so clever and obviously thinking outside the box lately!

    I haven't had a bath in years, either. But if I did and I could have a bath bomb fizz, it would be Woodland Pear without a doubt! I bookmarked her site and will definitely return. Thanks!

  35. Okay, I really messed up. I didn't read your entire post. I would prefer the white tea flavor. I love floral fragrances. It looks like I will be purchasing some for Christmas gifts. Once again, I love your card. It is so soothing looking and I wish I was in a nice hot bath myself right now.
