Check out SoftSoap for Spring & Easter Baskets


#Softsoap body wash 🆕 luxurious scents fill the bath🛀 with amazing fresh fragrance as I wash because they are made with real extracts of 🐝honey, 🌼lavender, 🌸jasmine and 🍑plum just in time for #spring showers🚿! I love that I can get out in the garden🌱🌷🍃 and use 🆕 softsoap hand wash👐 plus lotion💦 to hydrate and leaves my hands feeling soft🐇 again.
#ad Given to me from Colgate-Palmolive for review purposes. #springbreak🌞🐚#Easter 🐣💒http://www.softsoap.com/home




Spring is in the air and I am spending more and more time outdoors in the yard with the kids playing and doing a lot of yard work and gardening, so I am washing my hands a lot more. Since I started using Softsoap brand hand wash Plus Lotion, I have noticed a big difference in the moisture level after washing my hands. Having a household of 7 with 3 little ones and a cat, I am constantly washing my hands, which normally leaves them very dry and cracked this time of year. I noticed a difference right away and will continue to use this hand wash plus lotion because I really enjoy its benefits and I have one in each scent in each bathroom and 1 at the kitchen sink to keep my hands as clean as they are moisturized!

Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy Sucré-your new favorite Spring-Easter-time scent

#EatDessertFirst

This Easter, think outside the basket and replace the usual candy with something a little healthier that’ll still satisfy your  sweet tooth.






Delicately sugary but sufficiently short of saccharine, Juicy Couture’s Viva la Juicy Sucré    is sure to become your new favorite Spring- and Easter-time scent.

Viva la Juicy Sucré :
Set in a gold plated cupcake holder and tastefully decorated with a creamy frosting, Viva la Juicy Sucré looks as delicious as it smells. Like the layers of a decadent cake—the fragrance is an irresistible confection of freshly-ripened fruits and exquisite florals.

Easter baskets won’t lack sweetness this year, even if you forgo the edible treats, thanks to this delectable, tasty scent!


Tempting. Delightful. Indulgent. Treat your sweet tooth with Viva la Juicy Sucré, a fresh indulgence for the enticingly delightful Viva girl. She lives in the moment without holding back and never forgets to #EatDessertFirst. The fragrance sparkles with Mandarin and Red Currant while Peach Nectar flirtatiously drizzles over a nearly edible bouquet of Jasmine and Orange Flower petals. The dry down floats in the cloud-like sweetness of vanilla and whipped cream and is topped off with a dusting of Cocoa Powder for tantalizing allure.



I think Juicy Couture's Viva la Juicy Cucre' is a fabulous sweet scented treat for a dear one on Easter! The bottle itself is a treasure! With the luscious fresh, delicious scents of spring, this fragrance is perfect for the season. One peek at this box and you are sure to see a sweet smile on the face of the receiver. 

As a gift, this lovely fragrance can be presented on its own.  I love this for the base theme of an Easter basket.  I would add mini cupcakes to take it over the top and fruits for those who are sweet enough!

I was super excited to get these 3 different gourmet gift baskets from GourmetGiftBaskets.com.  

The With Love Brownie Gift Box is a beautiful reusable box of brownies and is perfect for that brownie/blondie lover of homemade baked goods, in your life.  I really like that each brownie is individually wrapped for freshness and there is a delicious variety of flavors.  I think this is a decadent treat for Easter that the recipient may not want to share!  

The Almond Strawberry Delight box is really tasty and I like that the nuts and dried fruit are packaged separately and are filled with quality fruit and nuts which tastes fresh and full of flavor.  I think this is just right for that special person who may not be a fan of candy.  

The showstopper is the Double Bunny Easter Basket that I saved for the 2 little girls who are going to be thrilled to have twin bunnies and a giant basket filled with candy and toys on Easter morning!  I can already see the smiles on their faces and know we will be talking about the memories of this Easter morning for years to come!
