[Body] Home Spa with Bliss

Products from HomeSpaGoddess
tag body

When ever I see anything with "home spa" in the title, I have to mention it. My latest find? The Simultane-bliss Spa-at-home Set.

The site says:

"Who wouldn't love a facial and a candlelit bubble bath? Here, in one gift box, is months of them. Includes full sizes of bliss vanilla + bergamot bubbling bath + shower gel, bliss steep clean (our 15-minute facial-in-a-tube) and a spicy-scented candle from sage. Comes in a Bliss blue gift box."



It's $85 at Bliss

[Body] Carol's Daughter Bath and Body Oils

I am obsessed Carol's Daughter bath and body oils...the bottles...the floating flowers in the bottles.. I'm hypnotized.

The pics on her site are fantastic. I remember when she had this small site with just her bars of soap on it. Now it this huge thing with lots of flash and amazing product photography.

I'm going to try these on my next visit to Sephora. Have any of you tried them?

[Body] Body and Earth's "Elements" from Ulta

Products from HomeSpaGoddess
tag body

Today's post is for Body and Earth's "Elements" line. I've tried several of their body washes, which are always packaged beautifully. I have to say, I've been less than thrilled. Disappointed is actually the word I would use. They sell for $3.99, but I still expected more.

There was barely any scent to them. That's my main complaint. I bought the White Mocha, Vanilla Sugar and Pomegranate. All three were a wash. No pun intended.

Other stuff I want....

Yeah, I know I'm obsessed with bath and body products, but that's not all I want for Xmas :) Here are a few of the other things I'm feinin for.

Other stuff I want for Xmas, Pt. 1:

Ion iTTUSB Turntable with USB Record - $139

I've got mad LP's. I don't just want this, I need it. Honest.



The Complete Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson - $99

I've loved Calvin and Hobbes since high school. I already own 5 of the books, but this is, as Tenacious D would say, "the complete masterworks".




Endless Pool - $19,900+

This would be awesome! I wouldn't mind the house it was in either.

[Body] Davies Gate

Products from HomeSpaGoddess
tag body

Davies Gate has a new scent for the holidays, "Sugar Plum". It's described on the site as
"a blend of ripe Plums, light notes of luscious Peach and sugar sweet Vanilla".

The reason I found out about this new scent was because I scored two Davies Gate gift sets marked down from $18.99 to $8.99 at Ulta on "Black Friday" last week.

I got the "Pink Grapefruit" and "Sweet Orange" Beauty Lift sets which included body lotion, shower gel and powder sugar bath soak. I couldn't find a pic of the sets online anywhere. Sorry.

Enjoy this pic of the new "Sugar Plum" soothing shower gel instead:)

[Body] Frankincense is the new black, and just in time for Christmas

Products from HomeSpaGoddess
tag body

According to the December Lucky Magazine frankincense is the hottest new "secret ingredient", because not only is it the perfect gift for newborn kings, when it's used in skin treatments it brings down inflammation and moisturizes.

Pacifica has my favorite formulation of this ancient scent which is described on their site as "A rich blend of Frankincense and Myrrh at the heart with top notes of sweet Italian mandarin and orange. Resinous, rich and deep with a bright, fresh lift".

You can get Pacifica products from Whole Foods or from their website. I've listed their frankincense offerings below.








You can get candles made from food-grade paraffin wax and lead-free cotton wicks in sizes from voitives to 3x9 inch pillars. From $7.95 to $34.95.










3oz, 5.oz, 8.oz, and 10.oz soy candles made with a vegetable soy wax blend. From $4.95 to $19.95









You can also get soaps! $6.95 for a 6oz bar. Get yours form Pacifica.com

[Manicures] Holiday Hand Lotion at Ulta

Products from HomeSpaGoddess
tag manicure

Whee! I scored at Ulta last Friday! Their Holiday Hand Lotion always factors into my gift giving. It also makes a great party favor, or "Emergency Gift".

The best thing about this lotion is that it's great lotion! Smooth, creamy, rich and long lasting. The scent level is just right. This lotion is always a hit.

This years scents are Very Merry Berry, Citrus Cream, Va Va Vanilla, and Hot Cocoa. The current price is 5 for $5. This is an amazing deal because the regular price is $3 a tube (!).

The sale price is until Dec. 8th here in Chicago. I bought $20 worth and I will be buying more. I usually give out "sets" that I wrap up hella cute.

I'm gonna have a Lush Xmas

The next item on my "must buy" list from Lush is this Bling Crosby Bubble Bar

The site says:

"When it first came to our creative team meeting the Bling Crosby Bubble Bar didn't really have a name. There it was, scented with citrus, spicy Karma, looking rather like half an orange, but two hundred times sparklier. Once its Bling factor was observed, it chose its own name. From now on may all your Christmases be orange and have yourself a sparkly little Christmas."

It's $5.95 at Lush
