Suave, Take Me Away

Body Wash resized Yes, I know that line is usually connected to another product, but I have never felt like that after using that stuff. It took a shower with Suave® Naturals Body Wash Apricot Exfoliating Shower Gel to get me uttering those words. See, I am a bit of a shower snob. While I love the scents of body washes and such, I usually stay away from them because my skin is very dry and sensitive. Not to mention that I have severe allergies and most fruity, flowery scented things irritate my asthma symptoms. So, when BSM Media offered me the chance to try out a few of Suave’s products, I was a little hesitant.

But oh how things change. The Apricot Exfoliating Shower Gel is like a mini-spa in a bottle. The scent is soft and pleasant and my skin felt smooth. After using it in my morning shower I was rejuvenated and my body was awake. Suffice it to say, I did not experience any side effects either- no dry patches and rashes like I normally get from some of the more expensive items. And even the Cocoa Butter with Shea Lotion was a pleasant surprise. It was thick and provided my feet, hands, and elbows with the coverage needed to stay moisturized all day long.

Now I have to be honest with you- I don’t normally pamper myself. In fact, showering on a daily basis is usually my rest and relaxation time, but even then, I am usually rushed by the constant “Mommy. Mommy. Mommy…,” calls from my toddler. I barely get a chance to take in the fragrance of the soap before I have to jump out to manage some 3 -year-old catastrophe. But Suave® and Holly Robinson-Pete are encouraging moms to take a few minutes out for ourselves and Shower Yourself Beautiful this summer. And while the summer is almost over, I thought some of her tips may serve us all well as we get ready to tackle the hustle and bustle of the upcoming months.

Robinson-Pete suggests that moms wear a simple, light fragrance- like one from the Suave® line of body washes- to feel more beautiful. Or how about sending yourself some beautiful flowers just to remind yourself that you are loved! She even suggest scheduling tea time for your self by taking a few minutes to enjoy a cup of herbal tea and some tea sandwiches. And of course, there is always the relaxing bath (at night when the children are asleep, if your house is anything like mine) with candles, and the nice fragrance of Suave® Naturals Lavender Vanilla Calming Body Wash.

I think these are some good tips! but, I want to know what you do to pamper yourself. Starting today, September 9 and running until September 20- the “They’re Back to School, Pamper Yourself Giveaway.” You will earn the chance to win a lovely collection of Suave® Products to help you get back into your routine without stress.

My biggest two de-stressers are taking a long hot bath and making my 1 year old Thomas laugh. They are just too too lovable.

When life gets stressful and I need to unwind, I usually will turn off my cell and just take a “me” day – veg out in bed and watch my fav sitcomes (“Golden Girls” & “Will & Grace”) cuz i know they always make me laugh. Get out of bed only to get food…. lol. Just enjoy the day, free of all obligations/committments. I usually feel better after a day or two like this!
