Soak, Spritz, & Exfoliate with Natural Garden Soaps by Paula Parrish

It has been one of those weeks! Between working with my hubby at our law firm and doing contract work for another attorney, I feel like I’ve been going a million miles a minute – and in heels no less! 

A good foot soak is exactly what I needed after this hectic week and this Jasmine Fizzy Foot Soak from Natural Garden Soaps really hit the spot! A few spoonfuls of this pale pink foot soak in a tub of warm water and I was on my way to some relaxation! The soak left my feet soft and smooth – and my favorite part – no oily residue on my feet or the tub! The water had a slight floral scent, but was not over powering like some jasmine products I have tried in the past. Paula Parrish, the mastermind behind the business, includes dried organic jasmine flowers in her soak, which for me, added a fairytale touch to this product! Who doesn't want to soak in a tub of flowers? 


 
Paula also creates an incredible Lavender Rose Facial Toner. This toner smells like what I’d imagine a morning stroll through an English garden would smell like – fresh and dewy with hints of fresh lavender and rose petals. I drenched a cotton ball in the elixir and swiped it across my face. It picked up all the oils and grime from my day and made my skin glow. I’ve even spritzed my face a few times throughout the day for an afternoon pick me up. The lavender is soothing and the rose petals are energizing. I’m planning on bringing this product with me on my next plane trip so I look fresh and put together when I land. 


I love hand crafted artisan soaps and this Honey Bee and Oatmeal soap is one of the best I’ve tried! The soap smells like milk and honey and features big oatmeal clusters that serve as gentle and natural exfoliates. The soap leaves skin feeling clean and doesn’t have any perfume in it, making it perfect for the mornings so I can apply my go-to fragrance. 


The products I sampled from Natural Garden Soaps were wonderfully crafted and beautifully packaged! With the holidays just around the corner, I’d recommend stocking up on some specialty gifts for any of the ladies in your life!

Be sure to check out Natural Garden Soaps at their online site and on Etsy, and be sure to check out Paula Parish’s blog for a chance to win some of her products. For more information on Natural Garden Soaps' bath bombs, check out Kir's review from earlier this week!

Enormous Jasmine Bath Bomb - Natural Garden Soaps by Paulaparrish

This past Saturday I had the pleasure to help out one of our family friends with their Taco Feed for their youth group. It was tons of fun but I was exhausted after waking up early that morning to drive four hours up North and then stand on my feet all day. Then, we drove back late that night after the Taco Feed to Ripon to spend Sunday with my folks and some relatives that came in from Arkansas. It was great to see everyone but man, last night we were dead tired; not to mention I had been feeling a little sick yesterday as well. 

This Jasmine Bath Bomb was exactly what I needed to sooth my tired feet and to help me relax. When I received this Enormous Jasmine Bath Bomb it was well packaged and I could smell the Jasmine from the package! At first I was a bit afraid that it was going to be too smelly for me but once I broke off a piece into my warm bath water it was perfect. The smell was not at all overpowering and it soaked my tired feet and made them feel super soft! I love the fact that my feet were incredibly soft and rejuvenated without any oily feeling left on my feet (like lotion tends to leave). It created an amazing smelling aroma of Jasmine in my bathroom and it was almost hard to keep my eyes open with how relax it made me. I will definitely be using the rest of this Bath Bomb tonight for my bath! I can't wait!!!




For more information on this incredibly relaxing and sweet smelling Bath Bomb, visit http://www.etsy.com/listing/162479340/enormous-jasmine-bath-bomb?ref=shop_home_active. The Etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/paulaparrish Natural Garden Soaps, has a number of other fantastic looking products that are also homemade without any harsh chemicals or funky things that I can't pronounce. They are made with organic and natural ingredients and have no artificial preservatives, artificial fragrances, and no artificial colors. The dried herbs used in the soaps are from her own backyard organic garden and hand crushed. 


This Jasmine Bath Bomb is perfect for any time of the year and would make the perfect birthday, Christmas, anniversary or "just because" gift!

Enjoy!
