Take a break from holiday hustle and bustle and treat yourself to a treat inspired by our favorite sweets of the season. As we countdown to Santa’s arrival pick up some holiday scented bath and shower gels from Philosophy. These bottles of instant merry also make ideal gifts for teachers, co-workers and stocking stuffers.
The deep red bottle of Holiday Spice (and everything nice) is a shampoo, shower gel and bubble bath in one. As with all of Philosophy’s bath gels it won’t leave the scent on your skin after your are finished bathing. The perfect way to indulge in a decadent treat calorie-free and with no lingering fragrance afterward. Holiday Spice evokes memories of apple pies baking in the oven and mugs of hot spiced cider that warm your soul. It is infused with warm holiday spices and a blend of citrus that will give you a warm cozy feeling all over.
Every year our family decorates gingerbread houses (pre baked kits!) to giveaway as gifts. The smell of gingerbread truly brings the holiday spirit home. The Gingerbread Man bath and shower gel is charming and heartwarming experience that doesn’t require a mess in the kitchen and no clean up afterward! Pamper yourself or a friend with ultra moisturizing bubbles for a soft and clean feeling. This shower gel comes in an adorable and festive box for easy gifting.
Candy cane foaming bath and shower gel is packaged in a colorful striped bottle that is a Philosophy classic. Indulge in the crisp peppermint fragrance, this is sure to re-energize you up after endless hours of gift wrapping and card addressing. Yum, yum, yum. Holiday joy is just one bubble bath away!

One of my favorite stores for resort beachwear is Calypso St. Barth. The original location of Calypso St. Barth is on the resort island of St. Barthelemy. After expansion into New York and East Hampton in the mid 1990′s, French-born entrepreneur Christiane Celle now has several shops located across the United States as well as in Paris and St. Tropez. The group of stores includes women’s, children’s and home accessories. The luxe breezy beach lifestyle is the essence of the Christiane Celle Calypso.
The signature Calypso fragrance, ‘Calypso Mimosa’ launched in the mid ’90s. Calypso Mimosa’s fragrance transports you to the warm sun drenched beaches of the Mediterranean and the gardens of Provence. Initially created for her local jet-setter clientele, the fragrance line has expanded to include a shower gel and body lotion. The signature scent smells of mimosa, rose and jasmine topped with a splash of green leaves. The fragrance is created in the old tradition of French perfumery in Grasse, France. Both the Mimosa perfume spray and Mimosa shower gel are available at BeautyEncounter.com. The body lotion is available at $28.00 at Luciouscargo.com.
