Ah ’tis the season to be jolly. What makes you jolly? Me, it’s got to be luscious bath and body products. There is nothing better than pampering yourself on a cold and grey day!

Here are some pretty pink goodies that are sure to be a hit with any gal pal…or better still put them on your wish list!

Pink Palace Shower Creme Trio ($24)

Pink Palace Body Butter Trio ($24)
Butter me up baby! Here are three sinfully rich body butters filled with Shea Butter, Cocoa Butter, jojoba oil and fruit extracts to soothe, smooth and hydrate your skin. Though they smell good enough to eat – it’s best not to!

Contains 2oz. jars of Buttercream Frosting Body Butter, Pink Potion Body Butter and Pink Champagne Body Butter in a giftable box with rope handle.

I am currently having a bit of a challenge with chapped hands – ouch! It never seems to fail that at this time of year my hands get really dry and tight and basic lotions won’t work. Well I have found my solution – Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturizing Hand Treatment.

After I wash my hands, first thing in the am and last thing at night I have been apply this fast-absorbing gel cream and honestly my hands are back to be soft, supple and healthy. I don’t know what is in the hand cream but it does not leave any greasiness and it has a unusual but pleasant scent – like a herb of some sort.

When I mentioned to my Mother that I was using this cream, she excited told me that my Grandmother was always a huge fan of Elizabeth Arden and used one of her hand creams and loved it.

I guess I am following the family tradition!
