Spa Sisters - Review & GIVEAWAY!

Like most women, I enjoy my alone time in the bathroom… time to have a hot shower, shave, pluck the eyebrows; you know, all the necessities! Reality however means that I always seem to have at least one little body underfoot.

I was recently introduced to a Canadian company - Spa Sisters who offer a line of spa products that are truly natural. Spa Sisters, according to their website, carefully select fair traded, pure and natural ingredients for their products.

I was given a choice as to which product I’d like to review and I chose the Kids’ Mandarin Bubble Bath. I was delighted when they sent a full sized bottle of mandarin goodness AND 2 other ‘mommy products’.

Now to give you a little history, we had to stop using bubble bath with my girls because their skin was too sensitive. I had reservations about trying this product. To my delight, we have used a third of the bottle with NO skin irritations! What’s more, is that you don’t need to empty a quarter of the bottle into the water to make a sufficient amount of bubbles.

The first time we used the bubble bath Miss H came up the stairs and shouted with excitement, “It smells like oranges!” and IT DOES! The mandarin scent is quite lovely and not harsh at all! My girls LOVE having bubbles in the bath again and really look forward to spending time in the tub!

Spa Sisters offer a number of natural, handmade products for the entire family! What a great holiday gift idea!!

Check out these goodies that caught my eye…

Bum Balm – 100% natural and contains NO ZINC!

Body Meringue – loaded with tropical butters for that awful winter skin – I know you get it ;)

Lip Butter – available in 7 luscious flavours!

Want to get you hands on some of this natural goodness? The ladies at Spa Sisters will hook you up!
