You all remember that my family had the great pleasure, recently, of being some of the first people in the country to taste the new International Delights Iced Coffees. They were a beverage sensation that even my kids couldn’t get enough of! The great news is that in only 3 more days, you’ll be able to share some with your own family! Beginning January 15, they will be available in the dairy cases at WalMart and Sam’s Club!
Delicious Iced Coffee from International Delights! You'll be able to pick some up for your own family beginning January 15! Three flavors to choose from -- Original, Mocha and Vanilla. My kids think we need Mocha on tap in the kitchen! 
It’s always fun to receive a gift, but for me it’s so incredibly fun to give one — especially if it can be totally unexpected! Collective Bias and International Delights provided me with the perfect opportunity to do just that. As my family and I were enjoying our sneak preview of International Delights #Iced Coffee, I was given the opportunity to send the same package I reviewed to another blogging friend as a surprise gift. What a kick! I waited with great anticipation and then it happened! My blogging friend, Melissa Rheinlander, posted a message on a forum board I subscribe to, saying how excited she was to have received the package and wondering who had sent it. I love surprises!
Melissa’s blog is Keeping Up With the Rheinlander’s and it’s an excellent place to read book reviews, enter giveaways and be introduced to some excellent blogs through the blog hops she hosts there. She’s a stay-at-home mom with a passion for family and taking pictures, besides being a busy blogger; and my guess is that International Delights Iced Coffees will be as welcome a treat in her home as they were in ours. I “met” Melissa through one of the blogging networks that we are members of and have been so grateful for her encouragement and support as I have built my blog and learned about writing. She is a colleague and a friend. I hope you’ll stop by Keeping Up With the Rheinlander’s blog or Facebook page and say, “Hi!” Let her know that Busy-at-Home sent you.
Treat yourself or treat a friend!
Now, I know you’re excited about the creamy, delicious iced coffees that International Delights will make available through your local WalMarts and Sam’s Clubs on Sunday and I can’t wait for you to try them. They’ll be a perfect refreshing treat when you just feel like relaxing and unwinding at the end of a long day or for surprising guests when you’re entertaining. I think they would be awesome additions to gift baskets of homemade cookies and pretty glassware. Who do you know that’s having a birthday or that would enjoy a delicious pick-me-up surprise? Now, you have an idea for a wonderful, frugal gift!

Since most of you will realize this is our third project with Bodycology, it will come as no surprise that I absolutely love them!

Since most of you will realize this is our third project with Bodycology, it will come as no surprise that I absolutely love them! Spa treatments and exotic beauty products are simply not in our family budget, but I never feel deprived or like I’m missing out, because I was fortunate enough to discover Bodycology products back in 2009. Their fragrances rival any expensive “aromatherapy” concoction you will find on the market and they are available at a fraction of the price.
I never have to take the time to drive to some exclusive, expensive boutique or spa to experience these high quality, inexpensive body care products. It’s as simple as a trip down the health and beauty aisle at my local Wal-Mart, not to mention many other local and national chains. And whether I’m making a purchase for myself or putting together a fun gift basket for a friend, I can find a wonderful variety of products at prices I can afford. Wouldn’t they be perfect for a bridal shower or as a present for a new mom? Imagine the awesome gifts you can create! And when bargains like the current Sweet Petals special at Wal-Mart are available, it’s time to stock up for future gifts! Be sure to see if the Wal-Mart in your area is carrying it.
The beautiful basket of Sweet Petals products I reviewed from Bodycology. (minus the Body Cream which had been claimed by my daughter). From left to right: travel-sized fragrance mist, full-sized fragrance mist, hand sanitizer, gift set with body cream, fragrance mist and soft, fuzzy socks, full-sized shower gel and full-sized body lotion.
I received an amazing gift basket of Bodycology Sweet Petals products for this review. It is every product in the Sweet Petals Collection. The cool part is that since this same set is on special all through May at Wal-Marts across the United States, you can experience it an affordable price, too! Somehow, as I was taking this picture, I missed that the full-sized Body Cream was absent from the set. It had already been claimed and spirited away by one of our daughters, who became an instant fan of the sweet, summery scent.
The body cream missing from my original picture.
What does Sweet Petals smell like? — those moments in late spring, when you know summer is just around the corner. The most fragrant flowers are blooming and berries have started to set on in the gardens, orchards and brambles. The aroma is floral and fruity, all at the same time. It lingers and uplifts your spirit as you go through your day. It’s feminine and breezy. It makes me want to wear a sundress and sandles and take a walk in an English garden. The Bodycology website describes the fragrance as “the heavenly scent of sweet pea mingled with berries to give you a brighter spirit and positive outlook.” They are 100% correct!
My favorite things about Bodycology products?
- Affordable – It’s not a big splurge to own them. Easy on the budget, they can be an everyday luxury.
- Fragrance – There is a fragrance that can match every personality, mood and season. They are long-lasting and stay with you through the day.
- Variety – Each fragrance is available in several formats, allowing you to be able to layer the scents and accommodate many different skin care needs.
- Many of the products are perfect for conditioning and nourishing my skin with ingredients like Moisturizing Aloe Vera, Shea Butter and Vitamins E & C.
