What’s better than one amazing lotion? Three, of course! The CND Scentsations Vanilla Collection, which is among CND’s holiday offerings, is most definitely a trio worth trying.

Each of the three hand lotions in this trio smells fantastic and leaves skin feeling soft and super moisturized. Take your pick of Vanilla Velvet, Vanilla Cashmere or Vanilla Suede, all of which will smooth out even the roughest and most chapped of skin.

And here’s the best part—each lotion leaves just a touch of shimmer on the skin, which is just so perfect for the holidays!

The CND Scentsations Vanilla Collection retails for $12 at timetospa.com.

We’d been hearing about the magic for years. Literally, years. But, until recently, we hadn’t taken the amazingness of Dr. Bronner’s Citrus Orange Liquid Soap for a test ride.

Well, color us impressed. This soap not only smells fantastic but works up into a pretty incredible lather with less than a dime-sized amount poured out of the bottle! The scent is definitely citrusy, but not at all fake or cloying—it’s fresh and clean with just a touch of zestiness.

We were definitely a little skeptical of how well this soap would lather up since it starts as a very watery liquid. But it really does turn into a delightful mass of suds in just seconds when poured onto a pouf, a washcloth or even just your hands.

Plus, this soap is formulated with organic orange, lemon and lime to stimulate and invigorate the skin. All the oils are certified organic, and the packaging is made from 100 percent post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Pretty cool, right?

Dr. Bronner’s Citrus Orange Liquid Soap retails for $6.39 at drbronner.com.

I’m a self-professed shower gel junky, my linen closet has been known to overflow with them as I covet every scent I can get my hands on in every formula imaginable. But I will admit that while I’m a sucker for their frothy goodness, I have a select few that are near and dear to my heart!

We are fairly obsessed with body scrubs. Really, at any given time we have a wide range of salt and sugar scrubs lining our tub and crowding our shower caddy. But, no matter how many we try, our favorite continues to be Carol’s Daughter Sweet Honey Dip Chocolate Brown Sugah Scrub.

As the name may suggest, this scrub is sweet beyond belief. It smells exactly like chocolate, which is both intensely satisfying and makes us want to lick the tub clean every time it’s opened!

This scrub is formulated with real brown sugar, which not only smells delicious but exfoliates dead skin cells and cleanses pores. Evening primrose and olive oils rejuvenate and hydrate the skin.

In short? Your skin will feel amazing, look amazing and SMELL amazing. There’s no other scrub like it!
