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

by

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

    For me, my week includes chasing around an 8 month old so just taking a shower is my idea of pampering! If time and funds allowed, I would say a quick 30 minute pedicure.

    Any mother can relate, we focus on our children and neglect ourselves!

    I would love to win today’s giveaway! I love the Body Shop & I don’t get a chance to shop often with work & kids! Pampering myself is a must a least once a week! I love their pedicure products also, very relaxing!

    The way I pamper myself is to light candles around my tub,bathe in cherry bloosom body wash and listen to music when the kids are in school!

    I get some thick hand cream and give myself a hand massage. Seems like all the picking up kids, carring grocery bags, cleaning the house… wares my hands down and there’s nothing like a good hand massage to make me relax.

    I love the coconut body butter – it smells like a Hawaiian vacation during a LONG Michigan winter.

    I pamper myself by driving with the windows down and the music up the way to pick up my son from daycare.

    Every once in a while, a friend and I will get pedicures together. It’s great to catch up with her, since we both have kids now and don’t get together often enough.

    My favorite way to pamper myself is to give myself a pedicure. I soak my feet in a bubbling, vibrating foot bath with peppermint salts. I scrub my feet and then put on a peppermint lotion to cool down my tootsies. Then, time to polish. It is heavenly and I always feel ready to take on the world after that!

    I Love, love, LOVE sneeking off to the spa for a massage. I know it’s a big splurge, but it’s so worth it!!!

    My favorite way to pamper myself is to take a long shower and then paint my toes. It isn’t a day at the spa, but it’s affordable with a family!
