Hello sweet Gorgeous!
In the greater Phoenix Arizona area-it's still the low 70's-so maybe it's not the coldest winter on record, but it's very dry.

So I received a sample of a generously sized bar of organic soap for detoxifying and healing dry winter skin. It's made by Shea Moisture-a company that was established in 1912 and the products are made in the United States of America.

This 8 ounce behemoth of a healing bar soap gets even better-it's readily available at Target or Walgreens and averages $4.99!

I have used it on myself and my son-we both like the warm woodsy smell, light sudsy lather and easy rinsing with no film left over.

It has a long list of things that it does not have, such as: no parabens, phthalates, paraffin, gluten, propylene glycol, mineral oil, synthetic fragrance, animal testing, paba, synthetic color , dea or sulfates and lest I forget to mention-it's cruelty free.

So please, don't take my word for it-go get your own!

Hello Gorgeous!
I was saving this product review for Valentines' Day-but it's just too good to wait!

My experience sampling the Cerisier Princesse pearlescent shower cream from L'Occitane ( that's Cherry Princess for those of us who don't speak french)
is that it's a very light and soft scent which is floral and fruity.

I used my shower foam on a scrubby exfoliating pouf and got a nice lather-but not extreme-nor was it lacking. In fact, it felt like just the right amount. Though, I think anything at 5 a.m. feels just right.

It contains a cherry extract from Luberon, Provence and personally-reminds me of eating Cherry Garcia ice cream from Ben and Jerry's.

Note on the ingredients: it does contain sodium laureth sulfate-so you could possibly grow a tail-but it will smell good and feel soft to the touch.

I think you should get some of this right now-but if you must wait for Valentine's Day-be sure and drop big hints to your love interest or make a series of sticky notes to remind yourself to order or go by a L'Occitane retail store, like the one in Chandler Fashion Center here in Arizona.
