Sorry about the lack of posts over the weekend ladies. I was asked at the last minute to house and dog sit by some friends and I didn’t have a chance to fire off a couple posts before I left.

I’m a big fan of The Body Shop. I really like their body butters. I had never tried any of hteir body lotion though so I decided to give it a go.

I tried the Vanilla flavor, as vanilla is one of my favorite scents. This is where I think this product excels. It smells great but isn’t too strong. I found that it doesn’t moisturize as well as some of the other moisturizers I have, but it still gets the job done. It goes on well and is absorbed without feeling greasy for the most part, although I did have a few grasy feeling moments.

My bottle is almost empty, I only have enough for another two weeks, so I know I’ll have to head on over to The Body Shop to get another one. In addition to making great products The Body Shop also doesn’t test on animals and gets some of it’s ingredients from community trade sources (meaning that producers are paid a fair wage that they’re able to live off of). They’re also having a great sale going on now, with up to 50% off selected items.

Available at The Body Shop or online (http://thebodyshop-ca.stores.yahoo.net/) for $14.
