I did want the bath to be as enriching as possible, though. And so I found this “recipe” with the help of the National Honey Board. It’s totally worth a try!

Lavender-Honey Milk Bath
-Makes enough for 2 baths -

Ingredients:
3 Tbsp. dried lavender flowers*
1-1/2 cups whole milk, cream or combination

Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream, Elizabeth Arden

Elizabeth Arden
Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream

A super moisturizing, all-over body cream, infused with a blend of real honey and fragrant green tea extract, to help calm and condition dry skin.

Over the weekend, I spent loads of time with my good friends in a place that occupies a very special place in my heart, Palawan. Third time around but this time it’s all about new beginnings and growing up BUT what do you get if you throw four (4) women together? It’s actually a given that you will talk about girl-y stuff, swap beauty regimens and such, hence, the discovery of this wonderful beauty, Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream by Elizabeth Arden.

My friend shared that she got a darn good tip from the Oprah Winfrey show about scents. Theory was that you don’t really need to use perfumes at all. That is if you practice the trick of making sure that all your bath products and body creams or lotions are all scent-coordinated. To illustrate, if you use Green Tea and Honey from shampoo, conditioner to soaps and creams long enough, you’ll end up smelling like it without the need of spraying a Green Tea and Honey mist or perfume. Did I make sense?

Anyway, my friend described this cream’s scent to be deliciously great. She further described that it was the honey beads that offers that refreshingly pleasant burst of scent, which makes the experience of applying it onto the skin a fabulous experience. Of course, moisturising the skin is all part of the package.

I had the opportunity to smell it and I have to agree that the scent is indeed fresh and relaxing. I wouldn’t mind giving this product a try if I get the chance. Have any of you tried it? How is it?

The Green Tea Honey Drops Body Cream is priced at $17.50 over at elizabetharden.com.
