We buy the best products to pamper our children's skin, but we don't do the same for ourselves. We lather our children up with soaps and lotions that leave them smelling sweet and dreamy. But, we're lucky if we remember to brush our own teeth. Time-out, mom. Mother's Day isn't the only time to look good, smell good, and take a little extra time to feel invigorated and refreshed. Ask me when is the last time I indulged in a skin care product for myself, and I will embarrassingly tell you...that it's been so long, I don't even remember. Well, at least until this week, when I got to try out the new Shower Yourself Beautiful line of natural skin products from Suave®.
I was invited to review the new Suave® Naturals Wild Cherry Blossom Indulgent Body Wash, Suave® Naturals Apricot Exfoliating Naturals Body Wash, and Suave® Advanced Therapy Body Lotion. Honey, I am not exaggerating when I say that I smelled sooo delicious after using that Apricot Wash. On a scale of one to five loofahs, it gets a five for lather, texture, and that incredible scent. When I walked out of that bathroom, I left the scent behind, and this time it was a good one! Ha! It was as if I had lit a tropical aromatherapy candle. A wonderful and well-deserved change from a boring bar of soap. The Wild Cherry Blossom lathered up just as nicely, and was my husband's favorite (yes, I shared and let him participate in the review. Figured I'd benefit just as much from him smelling good). The Advanced Therapy Body Lotion was thick and creamy, with a wonderful, light fragrance. It's indeed long-lasting, with no greasy residue. None of that cheap, watery stuff in this bottle, baby.
Suave is so convinced that you'll love their skin care line, that they have a "beautiful skin guarantee." Get beautiful skin, or get your money back. Now that's a guarantee that mamas on a budget can appreciate.

I'd love to try The Advanced Therapy Body Lotion! My skin needs some good ol' fashioned pyschoanalysis.
Thanks!

And I spelled psychoanalysis wrong, for some reason.
I indulge by spending the day next to lake with a really great book. I love quiet, when I can get it. ;)

I would like to try the tropical coconut or cucumber because when I am in the "HOT" shower (which is one of my indulgences before bed each night-even if it's my second shower of the day) it is a HUGE relaxer!

The Suave Wild Cherry Blossoms Body Wash sounds so divine,
A touch of Spring and Summer combined...
Cherry blossoms...an image to treasure,
A day of beauty, to recall forever.

When my grandkids who live here make too much noise I just enjoy coming up to my room and play on the computer and watch a great movie on tv.

Ooo, I gotta say that I would so love to try out the Cherry Blossom. I have a thing for cherries -- including the bowl sitting next to me!
