My favorite way to relax is to submerge myself, neck deep in a warm bubble bath. I'd use these items everyday and share them with my children!!

When I'm about to relax, I usually will go outside and lounge in a nice, comfy chair while reading a magazine. Obviously I do that in the summer, but in winter I usually sit down in my room, listen to some tunes and read a good magazine. I would use the items in my daily shower ritual and give a few to my mom as well, considering she doesn't usually get herself nice, fancy soaps!

To relax, I like to eat a nice big bowl of ice cream while watching a nice juicy TV show, like Grey's Anatomy I would use these products everyday!... In the shower / bath. I'd share them with my mom too

I like to relax by having a workout and then hopping in a nice warm shower or bath. I love using bath/shower products that smell great and are good for my skin...and I like to finish by applying lotions/creams that smell wonderful before hopping into bed with a good (trashy) book! The great scents in the gift box would work as aromatherapy for my mental state while the wonderful ingredients would keep my skin healthy!

When wanting to relax, I usually start off by taking a hot shower (which would be a great place to use these products :-) ) and then hop in bed to read a good book!

I love to relax by taking my iHome and iPod in the bathroom and take a nice hot shower. Listening to music and showering makes me feel so relaxed. Lathering up with this soap and washing it off as I sing my favorite tunes at the top my lungs every night before bed! Washing away the work day feels so good .

I'm so in with today's giveaway.


I have been searching for a long time for Vegan products and natural bath items. This package will be perfect for me! I would love to linger in my tub destressing with Butter Me better bubbly soap. I'd probably doodle on my arm in the suds like I did when I was a kid. Now I won't get in trouble for using too much! I would love to use the Natural Shampoo for dry hair and top it off with a nice oil treatment. My hair gets soo fraggle from the holidays. I need to emerge from my spa treatment with that bouncy fresh hair that isn't weighed down by all the bad stuff!

Of course I'm going to use the Calm Meltaways. I love aromatherapy, it would be sooo perfect to add to my retreat!

Relax???????.................ahhhhhhhhhhh......... ......... tub full to the top with hot but not too hot water.......glass of wine............music........................candl es.............. quiet time............ no talking...............no noise................ no work........ no worries.................my favorite soaps saved just for "me" time................ then keep filling and filling and filling and filling the tub with more and more hot water while softly saying "almost done honey".................

I like to take my ipod filled with slow relaxing music with me to my hot bubble bath with the lights off and window open a bit..
After I dry off I slip in my clean Pyjama pants and tank top and slide on my nice fuzzy housecoat
Id use the prize to my ritual relaxing bath times

My favorite way to relax is to take a nice hot bath, with bubble-bath added. If I'm feeling particularly stressed, I ask for a back-rub from my husband. I also unwind by playing with items, like a new eyeshadow.

If I got this prize, I would unwind by playing with the individual items until I figured out which ones I really liked, and then I would make a small gift basket for my mom with some of them, so that she could have fun playing, too.

one of my favorite ways to relax
is to fill my bathtub all the way up, and with bubbles,
turn on my "mellow" cd mix and just relax.


id use this product to make sure my skin is fantabulous,
and i think it would be something great to add to my relaxation routine

I have several relaxation techniques. I enjoy going for a long walk/run when I'm especially stressed out, then taking either a hot shower or a semi-cold one (depending on the weather!). Sometimes I will pop in a DVD and 'groom' myself -- face mask, pedi/mani, etc. And finally, I love to cook when I'm stressed! Some of my best creations have come from my worst times. The Manor Hall Soap would be great for any of these times (well I won't be making soap cookies or anything, but I do wash my hands A LOT while I'm cooking..lol).

Thanks again Janice for another great giveaway, and good luck to everyone!

I like to take a hot shower with a cd playing in the background...that's about the only time I get to myself so it's usually at night. I also like to just lay in bed watching a movie with my bf. That never fails in relaxing me. <3

My "slow" playlist on my ipod, two couch pillow cushions under my knees and one behind my back so I feel like I'm just floating and deep-conditioning treatment socks & gloves. Relaxing and leaves my hands and feet feeling soft and wonderful.
