Moms Indulgence

Archive for the ‘Bath and Body’ Category

Summer is definitely a time when a woman needs some pampering, but not every one can afford an expensive trip to the spa or a weekend away at a bed and breakfast. On the other hand, every one can afford some inexpensive pampering while laying out in the rays of the sun, soaking up the warm weather and relaxing atmosphere.

Reading a Book
Some people find that simply laying out in the sun enjoying a good book is the way to go. If this sounds like something that you would enjoy, then be sure to schedule a day with your family in which you take time and you enjoy your book while basking in the sun. If you don’t enjoy the sun, then find a nice, cool shady spot somewhere in your yard or even at your local park.

Pedicures
There are several kits nowadays that allow you to give yourself a home pedicure for about half the price it would cost at your local day spa. Even if you don’t have a pedicure kit, you can still give yourself a professional pedicure with a file brush, foot and cuticle cream, and nail polish. You can even have a little pedicure party with a few girlfriends in which you enjoy some drinks outside and give each other pedicures.

Catered Lunch or Picnic
When you hear a catered lunch, you may think it cost a lot of money, but catering is very proud term. Catering could mean going to your local sub shop and getting a few sub sandwiches or having getting a big salad and bread sticks from you favorite pizza place or Italian restaurant. These are cheap options for lunch and best of all you don’t have to make anything. Invite a few close girlfriends over and have a picnic in your yard or at the park. Gives you time to catch up on gossip and enjoy a nice lunch.

Every one deserves a little pampering every once in awhile. This is especially true for moms who may have to deal with the kids being home from school in summer, as they need the time away to focus on themselves.

A couple of months ago I placed ordered from an adorable looking site called Homespun Hearts Grubby and Prim Candles. I didn’t burn a lot in the last couple of weeks because it’s unusually hot here in Seattle and we’ve been on vacations.

I ordered 2 jar candles. 1 in snickerdoodle and the other banana bread. Now I am not a fan of banana stuff, so I was a little leery of that choice. But I let me daughter help choose the scents. lol

Snickerdoodle tends to be a scent I go with for many companies to give a try. It gives me a stock scent to compare. I have to say that this one held up pretty well. To be fair, it is Summer and there are so many windows. It’s not like during the Winter when the house is in lockdown. So, it’s really hard for me to compare the scent throw. But I do have the last of it burning right now and I can smell it behind the scenes so that is a very good thing with the house wide open tonight. The scent is nice and mellow like snickerdoodle should be. Not overpowering at all. But still a decent scent throw. The scent is not a cheap scent either. It’s quality oils and wax that I am smelling.

The banana didn’t have a very strong scent throw I have to say. I burned that in the kids bathroom so it was a small room that should have been totally stunk up with it. But not so much. It did have a nice mellow scent, but not the powerful one I expected upon opening the lid of the candle.

Now Tamara also included a tart with my order and I’m afraid I forgot what the scent is. Which really is annoying because I want to order it now. The tart blew both the candles out of the water for scent throw. I don’t know that I’ve ever melted a tart that was so powerful with scent. I LOVED IT!

All said and done. I will order from Homespun Hearts Grubby and Prim Candles again. Between the awesome customer service, fast order delivery and quality products I’m looking forward to trying some other scents. I’m really dieing to try out the cookie tarts. They are very cute and I know I’m probably just a pyro-weirdo, but it’s cool to watch the fake food stuff melt down.

It’s that time of year again. Summer sandal feet. You know you want them beautiful and smooth in time for all of those strappy sandals sitting in your closet. The Scented Tub has the most incredible special running right now for just this cause.

Relax in Luxury after Black Friday

One of the best ways to relax after a long day finding shopping bargains at all those Black Friday sales is to take a nice soak in the bathtub in a wonderfully scented bubble bath. This can be a great way to unwind after a day fighting crowds and standing in long check-out lanes. It not only soothes the body, but also the mind as the scents of the season fill the room. My personal favorite bath products are by The Scented Tub, a great online store that offers the most amazing scented bath and beauty products! Try the “Holiday Bath Bombs” which are little fantastic balls of seasonal scented bath soak. They come in cheery holiday colors, and are scented in favorites like Winter Wonderland and Apple Cinnamon. Sure to bring the warmth of the season to your bathroom oasis!

One other great way to feel revitalized after a hard day of searching out all those post Thanksgiving bargains is with a good scrub! Not only does it remove all the grime and tiredness from your skin, but it leaves it feeling soft and refreshed. And just in time for all those Holiday get-togethers! I love the Walnut Body Polish for its wonderful home cooked goodies smell and the polishing effect of the natural walnut shells. It’s like being in Grandma’s kitchen baking cookies on a cold Winter day. You’ll almost feel like eating yourself, it smells so good. I’m not kidding either!

Just make sure that after all that stress of shopping that you take time to treat yourself this Holiday season. Then enjoy all the treasures you’ve found, grab a hot cup of cocoa and savor your little part of the joy of the holidays.

It’s such a luxury to be able to pamper myself after a long day at the office or a day spent shopping at the local mall. After getting the family fed, the kids in bed and the house quiet, I like to take a nice long bubble bath, light a couple of candles and enjoy a good book. At that moment, I am surrounded by my favorite scent of Cucumber Melon, the flickering light of the melon scented candles sooth my soul and I get lost in the chapters of my book. Its times like that when I can imagine I am the queen of my own castle and the stressors of the world just melt away. I come out smelling lovely, feeling sexy and refreshed!

Get your feet ready for some post shopping pampering!

This week, as you hit those post Thanksgiving “Black Friday” sales, be sure and treat yourself to some pampered feet when you get home!

It’s no wonder that you end up with sore, achy feet and ankles as you pile up on gifts you’ve found for your friends and family at all those wonderful sales. If you’re like me, when you get home, you basically drop all the shopping bags and purse at the door, slip off those shoes and head for the sanctity of the master bathroom for some pampering.

A good foot soak is a wonderful way to sooth those aches and pains from wearing your new Prada boots at the shopping center. Sure, you were just trying to break them in and besides what an opportune way to show them off to the girlfriends, right? But by the time you get home, more than just the boots are broke in.

Mmm, is that not just a yummy name? When Krista said she was coming out with a product called slushy, I knew it would be an awesome marketing theme. Here’s the description of the newest product in The Scented Tub line.

Slushies are a new White Sugar Honey Scrub. If you have tried our other scrubs you know they are not oily and thick. But Slushies are and they are fun and look and feel like slushies.

Made with Rich Natural Ingredients Paraben Free Professional Grade Formula Treat skin to a wonderfully smooth feel with this luxurious, non-irritating blend of pure cane sugar crystals and skin-softening Safflower Oil.

It is formulated to gently slough away dull cells, rinse clean and give your skin a soft, sensual glow.

Why Sugar ? Salts scrubs are great and have their own benefits but what can be more fun than a Sugar Scrub. Besides the fact that sugar cane crystals are great for gentle exfoliation, from a marketability point of view Sugar Scrubs appeal to a greater range of clients. It kinda puts the fun back into the task of maintaining healthy radiant skin.

Sugar on the skin is an emollient, a mild emulsifier and a humectant which helps soften and soothe the skin. It is often used to correct dryness and scaling. The sugar grains used in our formula easily dissolve on the skin while providing excellent exfoliation properties.

We have also added some Vitamin E which is a antioxidant often used in anti aging products, it helps maintain healthy skin.

Can It Get better than that? Oh yes it can! We made it Paraben Free!

We use Phenoxyethanol as a preservative. It is a Rose Ester with a low sensitizing factor. It effectively preserves the base without parabens.

Tons of great new scrubs have been added to The Scented Tub. I can’t wait to try out the cherry balm Salty scrub. What a yummy scent to smell while exfoliating. Just click on the spa tub and then spa scrubs to see the new scrubs offered.

Postal charges have gone up, but The Scented Tub is staying at the flat rate of $8.95 per order.
