Citrus holiday joy from L'Occitaine, I Love... and Lovefresh!

I refuse to believe that I'm the only person in the world obsessed with citrus scents so I'm going to do you all a favour and tell you all of the wonderful smelling stuff I'm loving these days which will help you with your holiday shopping for your other citrus obsessed friends, your favourite blogger - or of course, yourself!

L'Occitane Délice des Fruits is a limited edition line that has delicious scents of citruses - lemon and Clementine to be exact, sweetened with sugar. Available in the collection are: Lip Balm - 9g - $15, Shower Jelly - 250ml - $22, Body Cream - 250ml - $48, Holiday Home Perfume Diffuser - $26, Perfumed Soap - 50g - $6, Bath Ball - 40g - $6, Hand Cream - 30ml - $12, Sweet Candle - 150g - $30

With this recent cold weather I've been slathering my skin with the body cream which smells so good it's hard to stop from eating myself!  Available in-store on online at www.loccitane.ca

I Love... Lemons & Limes smells wonderfully citrus but not in an overpowering way - I liken it to Sprite without the fizz! Available in a Bubble Bath & Shower Gel - 500ml - $9.99, Body Butter - 200ml - $9.99, Exfoliating Shower Smoothie - 200ml - $9.99 and from the picture it looks like there is a lip balm - I haven't seen it at my Shoppers but check yours out for it, Lemon & Lime lips would be yummy!

Lovefresh Body Goodies Pink Grapefruit and Tangerine is the perfect combination of sweet and citrus! Available in a Body Lotion - 240ml - $18 and Sugar Scrub - 500ml - $28 and I would really appreciate if they would do their body wash in this scent too!

This week I'm obsessed with... G.M. Collin Citrus Fresh Shower Gel!

G.M. Collin Citrus Fresh Shower Gel - 360ml - $28 - you are probably already aware of how much I love all things citrus, so that in itself would have  probably been enough to draw me to this shower gel as it does have a wonderful citrus scent - but it also does something else that I find many shower gels lacking in - it suds like crazy! Things that foam make me happy and I often find that products that contain a lot of natural extracts, do a less then stellar job of making bubbles. No worries here though, it's like a foam party in my shower!

And if you also like to see natural ingredients in your products then you will appreciate that it contains willow bark extract, green tea leaf extract, pansy flower extract, corn flower extract, mallow extract, aloe vera leaf extract, lemon peel oil, rosmarinus officinalis oil, citronella oil and cornmint leaf oil.

Now that I have soft, smooth and great smelling skin, I can get on with my day!

Available online at quite a few places including Amazon - if you're in Canada you will find it at www.spaboutique.ca.

There's citrus in my shower thanks to LUSH, Kiss My Face and The Body Shop!

It might surprise you to know that I am not a morning person - I know - crazy right?!  I'm only sweet and adorable due to the inhaling of some sort of citrus scented product during my morning shower!  With this whole time change thing making it dark again in the mornings, it's extra important to get that burst of citrus to wake me up!  Here are a few that I have been loving lately:

LUSH Sexy Peel Soap - $5.95 - scented with grapefruit, lemon and lime, this is a citrus triple threat - if freakin' amazing had a smell, this would be it!  I also love that this is a very solid soaps which means it doesn't turn into a gooey mess in the soapdish!

LUSH Whoosh Shower Jelly - 100g - $10.95 - it's like washing with jello which of course is awesomely cool! Contains rosemary and geranium essential oils for a kick of energy as well as a mix of lemon, lime and grapefruit juices to increase circulation while cleansing skin. Tear off a small piece of jelly and lather it in your hands or on a shower loofah. For an extra thrill, freeze the jelly to get a refreshing morning jolt.

Sudz by Kiss My Face C-Weed Shower Gel - 237ml - $8.15 - sweet orange & lemon with organic aloe & chamomile - great smell, great lather, just all around great - I would live in a vat of this if such a thing existed...

The Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel - 750ml - $15 - of course I couldn't have a citrus post without including my longtime fave Satsuma - which in my books smells exactly like orange kool-aid - delish!

Have any citrus products you want to turn me on to - I'm game!
