Best Feeling in the World

The best feeling in the world is working out, working up a good dripping sweat, then showering, scrubbing down, and moisturizing with BBW Twisted Peppermint lotion.

Usually, I just scrub down with a loofah, but today I used my Philosophy Gingerbread Man scrub and it felt and smelled so divine. LOVE.

The BBW lotion is an addiction of mine - it seriously feels amazing, especially after a workout or on a hot summer day. You feel all relaxed from the workout, and the mint in the lotion leaves you feeling all tingly so that it seems like all the body heat you built up in your workout just melts away. It's a Christmas seasonal product, so I always hoard it whenever it comes out.

It always takes me forever to get my butt motivated enough to get in the gym, but I just force myself to pull on my socks and get myself in -- once I'm in, I get it going! The hardest part is always getting started but I feel so good after, it's worth it!

This is my daily routine and it feels so good that I feel like I'm pampering myself. What do you ladies do to pamper yourselves?

Philosophy The Gingerbread Man Scrub

I've been using this scrub that I got on my birthday a while back, and I love it! It's really hard to resist most of Philosophy's bath and body products because they all smell so divine, and this scrub is no exception.

It doesn't really have a baked good, cookie-type scent, but more of a fresh gingery scent that's amazing to wake you up and put you in a positive mood. The scrub is a bit stiff and not very oily or watery (which I adore, because I prefer a more abrasive scrub... I think it just gets the job done better!) This makes the scrub work great on either dry or wet skin - other scrubs that are more slippery tend to slide off wet skin and get wasted down the drain, but not so with The Gingerbread Man! Also, I love that it's not oily so it doesn't leave my tub a slippery mess.

And of course, what's not to like about the adorable, packaging and name? This is definitely one of the seasonal holiday treats that I look forward to every year, and would make a great gift for any girl in your life that enjoys a bit of pampering. It retails for $25 at sephora.
