I love fragrance!!!  In candles, soaps, lotions, perfume, air freshener, baking, newly mowed hay, spring rain…you get the idea.  Aroma can bring back wonderful memories, relax your mind and body, energize you, or even soothe you.  Fragrance in any product can be powerful and Bodycology offers us the opportunity to experience irresistible scents at affordable prices.  I love their products and have used them, often, here at home and as well-received additions to gift baskets for friends and family.

As busy moms on a budget, we don’t often take the time or want to spend the money for even small luxuries for ourselves.  Bodycology makes it easy and affordable to experience a little luxury in our everyday moments.  Their products are as easy to find as your local Wal-Mart or other discount store and affordable on even a frugal budget.  I can’t wait to introduce you to the wonderful options so you can experience them yourself.

I had the opportunity, this week to review some of the newest products Bodycology has to offer.  Not only do I get to share my experience with you, but Bodycology has generously provided for a Busy-at-Home reader to receive a new Shower Gel & Foaming Bath, along with a Body Cream in the luscious  Midnight Garden Fragrance.  Be sure to keep reading for the exciting details of this Giveaway!

I was delighted to receive a new, longer lasting Body Mist in White Gardenia, Anti-bacterial Foaming Hand Soap in White Gardenia and Shower Gel & Foaming Bath in the Midnight Garden Fragrance.  Midnight Garden happens to be my favorite Bodycology fragrance, so that was an especially welcome gift, but I wasn’t prepared for how much I would also love the other two products.

I was pleasantly surprised to find that the body mist is light and refreshing.  It didn’t leave that oily residue on my skin that I have found to be so common with other body mists.  It actually made my skin feel a little cooler, fresher and somewhat smooth/softened.  I was curious then about the ingredients and found that it contained aloe vera to condition and hydrate the skin.  The fragrance stayed with me the entire day in a very subtle way.  I love that it wasn’t over-powering.

You HAVE to try the new line of anti-bacterial foaming hand soap from Bodycology.  This is not just a  handful of bubbly fluff.  You know what I mean if you have tried some other brands.  The Bodycology Foaming Hand Soap only required one pump to produce a  thick and creamy lather that wasn’t overly sudsy or bubbly.  It rinsed cleanly and left my hands feeling smooth and hydrated.  No dry skin!  That’s a huge deal for me!  The room where I washed my hands still had a hint of the lingering fragrance in the air.  Clean hands, soft skin, softly fragranced environment.  You’d never suspect it is antibacterial.  Absolutely love it!

Are you ready for a luxurious aromatherapy experience that fits your frugal budget and won’t require any extra time out of your busy schedule?  Bodycology Shower Gel & Foaming Bath Wash is just what you need.  Like the Hand Soap, I was delighted that this was not just some perfumed, fluffy bubbles.  The lather was thick, rich, silky and luxurious.  I felt clean, but it didn’t dry my skin and the fragrance was wonderful.  It made those few quiet moments of my day incredibly relaxing (and too short!) -    It was like a mini spa treatment, right at home.

Bodycology‘s  products are available in Apple Orchard, Coconut Lime, Cucumber Melon, Clean Lemon, Sweet Petals, Midnight Garden, Vanilla Cupcake, White Gardenia, Berry Pear, Brown Sugar Vanilla, Cherry Blossom and Fresh Waters.  You can purchase products individually or I have often found them packaged in attractive gift sets.

When you visit the Bodycology website you can find retailers near you who carry the products at affordable prices.  Just for fun, you can answer some questions about things you enjoy and be paired with the fragrance that “fits” you best.  So, if you’re ready to experience the luxury and fragrance for yourself, stop by the website and find out where you can find these inexpensive “spa like” products in your own town.
