I received complimentary aromatherapy bath products from Calgon, Body Fantasies and Designer Imposters to facilitate this review. All opinions, of course, are my own.
Have you ever had just one incredibly stressful month? I’m talking the kind of month that has you pretty much ready to head to a padded room just to escape. THAT has been my month. As you may know, I’m getting a partial hysterectomy next month. So I have that weighing on my mind. It’s just in time too, because my most recent period was enough to make me want to claw my eyes out in pain.
Then I had to do the Easter Bunny set at my local mall. While that’s usually stressful on its own because I work like 80 hours weeks between that and my regular job, this season was particularly horrible. So horrible that I actually punched a wall! Me, the most timid, non-violent girl I know, actually punched AND kicked a wall. So you know it had to be pretty bad.
How to relax with aromatherapy goodness after you punch and kick a wall
After that particular night, I was so happy to come home and relax in a hot bath for so long that my skin turned into a prune. I needed it. See, since I rarely (as in never) actually hit walls, I apparently don’t know how to do it the right way, so I hurt myself. Why do people hit hard surfaces when they are mad? It doesn’t make you feel any better!
Anyway, so I came home and spent a long time soaking in a luxurious bath filled with Calgon’s Japanese Blossom Bubble Bath. When I got out, I slathered on some of their skin-softening body cream, then finished off with a spritz of body spray. I felt so much more relaxed afterward!
I also received a variety of other Calgon aromatherapy goodies, including my personal favorite, Hawaiian Ginger. I love showering with that scent’s body wash in the morning because citrus scents really help wake me up. They also make me feel so much cheerier, something I’ve really needed the last few weeks!
Immerse yourself in your favorite scents for less
Aside from the amazing line of Calgon products that I received (including Lavender Vanilla, which is great for winding down after a long day), I also received Body Fantasies and Designer Imposters fragrances. For Body Fantasies, I got Japanese Cherry Blossom and Sunrise Sweet body mists. Both are so feminine and delightful. My favorites, though, are the Designer Imposters. The Wanna Play? smells just like Clinique’s Happy and the Swept Away smells exactly like Victoria Secret’s Love Spell (one of my all-time favorite scents).
I love the body sprays because I can spray in on my hair, clothes and skin. It ends up lasting longer that way in my opinion. Plus, when you’re working 80 hours a week, sometimes you end up with no clean work shirts. That spray comes in super handy during those times. Don’t judge, you know you’ve done it too!
All three products are the perfect way to pamper yourself when you’re going through a stressful time. Of course, you don’t need to be stressed out to enjoy these products! I love using them every day. Still, they do make you feel better on those days that you are so mad you want to beat up buildings. Find all three at national retailers near you.
These are wonderful products that I love to pamper myself with. I like Calgon and I have some of the Body Fantasies fragrances and I like them. I need to get some more of these other products shown here. I hope everything goes well with your surgery, and that you have no more pain!
I really like your article. It’s evident that you have a lot knowledge on this topic. Your points are well made and relatable. Thanks for writing engaging and interesting material.
Sorry to hear things were not so great for you. But I bet you sure felt so much better after enjoying a long soak in the tub and all that lovely smelling stuff.
Nothing like the perfect scent to change a mood/day. I am a vanilla fan but always looking for new ones.
I have always like Calgon they have some nice products. The Hawaiian Ginger scent sounds like something I would like to try.
I can see the old Calgon commercial in my head! Calgon has been a great product for years. I love the scents.
OOh I saw this at the drug store the other day! Smells sooo freaking good too!! I was thinking of getting the Hawaiian ginger body wash!
Get it, it smells soooo good!
I have “Calgon take me away” running through my head right now. Actually, I am allergic to Calgon, but my mother always used it when I was younger – she probably still does.
Oh no, I’m sorry you’re allergic! I remember my mom using it when I was little too. It’s definitely something that spans generations.
Baths are so relaxing and obviously a great time to pamper oneself with some great new bath products. I would love to try the Calgon Hawaiian Ginger Body wash and of course the bubble bath!
Whenever I am really stressed I say “Calgon, take me away!” Funny. These products look awesome and I love soaking in a hot bubble bath. It is so relaxing.
These look lovely, I need to buy them and take a nice relaxing bath this weekend.
These all look like they would smell delicious! Especially the Hawaiian ginger scent.
That one is definitely my favorite!
What great suggestions! These would be perfect in a gift basket for teachers – teacher appreciation week is coming up! Or even a mothers day basket.
They would make great teacher gifts! I imagine teachers are often saying “Calgon, take me away” after a long day with kids!
I love smelly bath products, LOL. I completely have forgotten about Calgon and need to give them a try. They are beautifully packaged and I love that too.
Calgon, take me away. lol. I remember using Calgon years ago. Im going to have to try those products-they look right up my alley.
Looks nice. I like, nice scented products.
These products seems great, I have never heard or nor have I seen the brand. I’m a sucker for body sprays.
Me too! I must have at least a dozen different types of body sprays!
I could use a Calgon Take Me Away night tonight. I love their products – Calgon, a good book and a nice warm bath = the perfect evening.
I have yet to master reading in the tub! I’m jealous of anyone who can, lol! I’m afraid I’ll drop the book!
I remember watching the Calgon commercials that said, “Calgon take me away.” I need to be taken away like this because I’m tired and stressed and need to relax.
Everytime I see my Calgon, I think about that commercial!
The only way I can use scent is in body wash so this is perfect. The tropical one sounds especially nice!
I bet that Hawaiian Ginger smells so good! I will look for that next time I go shopping.
Is this a new line of beauty products. I am not at all familiar with this brand but the seem like great products
A good smelling body wash is a delightful way to get pampered daily. I love Calgon, but haven’t used it for years. I’ll have to keep a look out for these!
My mom used to use Calgon… I love that its affordable and smells like the designer perfumes we choose to wear but can’t afford. Love it!
After dealing with the kids all day, I definitely find myself saying “Calgon, take me away!” A little bit of pampering is a necessity for a busy mom.
I always think of the old school commercials from the 90s for this brand LOL> I love their scents though.
I love the scents that they have! These look really awesome!!
I love how these not just pamper you but really gives you the relaxation that you need, too.
