My take:  Well I was immediately taken by the Bath and Snack Gift Basket…I mean come on who can resist the combination of chocolate and bath products!!  I had to wait and open my basket until the boys were asleep because this is one product I wanted all to myself.

The Chocolate  Cherries and Berries were the perfect combination of sweet and tangy and I did end up sharing those with the kids because there was way too many for me to eat alone without feeling super guilty.  The Sweet Escapes Foaming Bath Powder Tin was the next thing I tried.  I loved how a scoop came with the tin and at first I was disappointed when I scooped my powder into the bath because nothing happened.  However when I turned on the jets there was bubbles galore.  The bubbles lasted the entire time I had the jets on and the fragrance was so light in the tub and on my skin afterwards.

The Seventh Heaven Body Souffle was truly heaven.  I was a little apprehensive because the souffle looked like a jello mold and was very cold to the touch….but once I put it on…oh my.  Soft, creamy and a great combination of chocolate and strawberry.  Sadly I have yet to try the bath fizzie because my children won’t cooperate.  I have tried on 3 separate occasions to use this product and each time have been thwarted by my children….sigh it will happen one day!
