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

    My favorite way to pamper myself is quiet time, a cup of coffee, a piece of Lindt dark chocolate, and photo albums. Looking through all the memories is such great reminder that all the day to day stresses and responsibilities are worth it! It definitely “renews” the spirit.

    I love body shop and their products. My sister in law used to be part of their at home consultations. The best way that I love to relax is to take a warm bath with bubbles, salts or oils and pop on some norah jones music. I sit back with my favorite magazine and just chill…

    Almost everyday I have a cup of coffee and a handful of dark chocolate chips during my kids’ nap time. Five to ten minutes of absolute silence and rest does wonders for the rest of my day.

    When everyone in my house is in bed for the night, I get out the nail polish and give myself a manicure and a peticure!!

  16. Deborah

    I sing in the car and I used to have a secret stash of chocolate…it needs refilled though!!

    One of the pamper me things that I like to do is get a haircut – not only do you get to have someone else wash, dry & style your hair, you get to have the sassy “look at me” feeling for the next week for having the new ‘do!

    Love to sit with a good book after the kids go to bed. Don’t mind a nice mani/pedi once in a while. Love this coconut scent!

    I have a stash of good chocolate in the freezer. I don’t have a big sweet tooth, but once in a while I want it.
    For the occasional indulgence that I do have, I buy good chocolate. I put it in the back of the freezer inside an old vegetable bag. My husband, who has found all my other hiding places, would NEVER look there ensuring my sanity and his protection:)

  27. Chris

    I like to go to the movies…so that is how I pamper myself. I also love to stroll through book stores.

    Hot bath in a locked bathroom so I don’t hear the patter of small feet! Thanks for being generous all week long.
