Softsoap* Skin Is In! Review & Giveaway {Canada Only}

softsoap
Have you heard? SoftSoap* skin is in™! Its irresistible fragrances and ultra-rich formulas will transform your shower into an indulgent experience. So go ahead, give your skin the moisture it deserves!
As you all know I’m a fitness instructor, and I teach a lot of classes.  Lots of exercise = lots of sweat.  To say I go through a lot of body wash is an understatement.  So when I was offered the opportunity to review Softsoap’s two lines of body wash I jumped at the opportunity.

I’ve used Softsoap in the past (the Juicy Pomegrante & Mango Infusion scent was even on my Christmas list last year) and was  thrilled to have the chance to promote a brand I already knew I loved.

As I mentioned above, Softsoap have two unique lines of body wash:
Fragrance Collection
    • Intense fruity and floral scents turn ordinary showers into joyful celebrations. Softsoaps indulgently rich formulas deliver waves of moisture right down to your toes.

Body Butter Collection

    • Sinfully rich and delightfully creamy. Thick, sweet-smelling formulas designed to revive and delight with naturally-inspired fragrances.

In the past I’ve only ever used the fragrance collection, so I was pretty excited when I opened my mailbox a week or so later to find this beauty waiting for me

Cue excited dancing around the house.

Here is a better look at what was in the basket:

That, my friends is 9 bottles of body wash.

The basket arrived on one of my crazy days (when I teach 3 intense classes) so by the end of the day I was more than ready for some me time.  And it just so happens my favourite way to unwind after a hectic day is by having a nice bath.  I hate taking showers, and find that particularly with my Fibromyalgia, my muscles really need a good soak after doing so much exercise so taking a nice bath really helps keep my muscles from aching and helps calm my body down.

In my opinion, the only way you can make a bath better is by having fabulous bath products to use while you are soaking.  My big problem was, how was I ever suppose to choose one body wash to use?  I ended up doing the sensible thing, “eeny meeny miny moe”-ing until I found a winner

I wish there was such a thing as scratch and sniff computer screens, because this body wash smells SOOO good.  In fact they all smell really good (which is why I was eeny meeny miny moe-ing to begin with!), and it was only a day or two before I decided that in order to be thorough, I really needed to try out one of the body washes from the body butter collection too.

 (Please note how much is missing from each bottle already – I told you I go through a lot of body wash!)

Enter the Body Butter Coconut Scrub.  Wow.  It smells just like the tropics!  Not that I’ve been to the tropics, but you know, that’s how I imagine it smells 😉 So now each night I have a big decision to make – coconut or orange body wash?  #firstworldproblems
