Body Shop Giveaway!!!!



I'm thrilled to be teaming up with The Body Shop again to bring you a chance to win another fabulous prize: this time, a gift set of the company's newly relaunched line of coconut-scented skincare products!



As a general rule, I'm against things that haven't been tested on animals and don't cause redness or swelling at the site of application, but I make an exception for fancy lotion that calls itself butter and makes me smell like a piña colada.

The Body Shop's newly revamped coconut line is special for another reason as well: everything in the collection is now made with organic virgin coconut oil from the company's new Community Trade supplier in Samoa.

Samoa...otherwise known as the great (and totally gorgeous) place that boasts of this:


And is the namesake of this:

By now, you know the drill. If you want a chance to win the skincare gift set, all you have to do is leave a comment. Want a second entry? Link to this giveaway post on your blog and leave a second comment.

The contest starts NOW and ends this Friday, July 17 at midnight EST. The winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

Thanks Body Shop and, as always, good luck!

  3. The smell of pina coladas may help mask the smells of toddlers in my home - goldfish, diapers, an old sippy cup of milk that i can't find but know is somewhere in my living room!

  7. We don't have children but we live vicariously through my friends and their children. We also offer our home as a "safe" house for when the moms or dads need to get away and relax or as they say "It is so nice to be somewhere for a few minutes and not hear someone yell your name 100 times or step on a million tiny toy parts." Sometimes when I watch their kids we prentend we are having a spa day and this would come in really handy. I may not have kids but I am a vital part in keeping their parents sane!

  16. I love the Body Shop!!! I also can let my 5 going on 16 year old daughter use it because it's sensitive enough for her skin. She loves to get ready with her Meme (that's what she calls me when she's not calling me, "MOTHER!") for a fun day when I'm home for a day or two!

  17. I've never entered your contests before - but this one, I must. Hi, I'm Beckie, and I'm addicted to coconut smelling products. Proof of such is in my linen closet - where you can find approximately 37 (down from 40) bottles of Bath & Body Works Co-Co Cabana lotion. It's my signature scent and when I heard they might possibly discontinue it - why yes, I totally ran around my state buying all that I could find. Must go apply now - Peace be with you.
