Back-to-School Giveaway: Pamper Yourself with The Body Shop Coconut Products

Tune in all week for hot Back-To-School Giveaways. I’ve got some great prizes for the kids, with a couple of special prizes to pamper mom!!! Look for a new 48-hour giveaway each morning and each afternoon, and be sure to check out all of the current giveaways for other great prizes!

Getting kids ready to go back to school is hard work, and today's giveaway will help you take some time out to pamper yourself with a set of Coconut products from The Body Shop!

Mmm, if you love the scent of coconut as much as I do, I think you'll love the latest line of products from The Body Shop made with organic virgin coconut oil. I was especially pleased to see that the purchase of these products supports small, organic coconut farmers in Samoa. I'm a big believer in supporting small businesses whenever possible.

I recently had the opportunity to try these for myself, and I absolutely loved them. All day long I'm reminded of warm, sandy beaches and crashing ocean waves (minus the skimboards, LOL). I know smelling like suntan lotion may not appeal to some of you, but I assure you these are not too overpowering, and it's a cleaner scent.

Coconut Shower Cream – This product foamed up just enough and smells heavenly!

Coconut Body Scrub – I just love body scrubs, and this one did not disappoint in the least. It's not so greasy that it makes the shower floor too slick, and it's not as gritty and harsh as other products I've tried.

Coconut Body Butter – This is probably my favorite of the products I tried. This thick and luxurious body butter is perfect for parched summer skin, and it doesn't leave your skin feeling tacky for hours after you apply it like some I've used.

Coconut Shimmer Lotion – I was slightly skeptical about the shimmer in this product. After all, I'm definitely not 16 anymore. However, it turned out to be very subtle, and it's kind of a fun way to add a little something extra for a night out in a cute summery dress.

One lucky Deal Seeking Mom reader will win a prize package worth over $70 that includes:

:: Coconut Body Butter
:: Coconut Body Scrub
:: Coconut Shower Cream
:: Coconut Shimmer Body Lotion

To enter, leave a comment with your favorite way to pamper yourself. Do you have a chocolate stash that no one else knows about? Do you sneak away for a bubble bath with a good book? Do you crank up the music when you're in the car by yourself and sing along?

22 Teresa August 21, 2009 at 6:16 pm

I love to pamper myself by doing a little window-shopping at my favorite "girly" store that sells make-up, jewelry, purses, etc. Sometimes I am able to treat myself and buy a little something.

23 Karma August 21, 2009 at 6:20 pm

27 Anne August 21, 2009 at 6:39 pm

My favorite way to pamper myself in a pinch is to use Dr. Bronner's Lavender soap in the tub. The lavender helps me relax and forget about the crazy day I just had.

I relax by giving myself a mini-spa night once a month atleast. A relaxing bath, candles, pedicure, manicure, face mask, the works. Helps to pamper yourself once in a while.

I love to get a glass of wine or champagne, grab some relaxing bubble bath or aromatherapy, take a long bath with a magazine and lock the bathroom door.

I feel so rejuvinated and ready to go back to the household afterwards.
