...the land of Milk and Honey. Since biblical times, there's been a magical connotation with this combination. Herbal Garden has brought that magic to life with their bath product Buttermilk & Honey Bath Salts.

I had the pleasure of trying out this "scent"sational product this past week. To get the idea of how this product worked I only had to use it once. I ended up taking FOUR baths this week in it. I feel that I am a better person for having done so. Not only was it a totally relaxing treat for the senses. My skin has never felt softer! The trick to using any new product is leaving it out where you can see it, so that you remember to use. I doubt that I even needed to do that with this product, but I did. I left the jar out on the bathroom counter. Every time I walked by it I delighted in opening the lid and taking a good whiff. An uncontrollable "Mmmmm" would be what I would hear myself moan aloud, every time. There's something so beautiful about the smell of milk, honey and vanilla put together in the right proportions. It brings about a sense of peace as well as childhood memories at the same time. I just can't explain it any better than that because it goes beyond words.

Every time I would take this wonderful treatment I would sink into the tub and into a wonderful sense of peaceful tranquility. Cleopatra knew what she was doing when she used milk in her bathing rituals. Herbal Garden has transformed this ritual into something even more delightful. Using buttermilk, which is even richer, and blending it with honey and vanilla, has turned the art of bathing into a masterpiece!

If you can't tell already, I highly recommend this product. It's the perfect thing to have on hand for that 'me' time that so many of us do without, or don't do enough of. It would also make a beautiful gift for a friend or relative. You know which one I mean. The one that is always giving to others. With the beautiful apothecary jar accented with a pretty dried flower, and the accompanying little wooden scoop, it's already gift-wrapped.

Go ahead...Indulge...no excuses necessary.

Here's what Herbal Garden has to say ~

"We live in a world of convenience. Companies combine chemicals to develop products that will last longer, and make cleansing faster and easier. I make and use products that will enable us to limit our exposure to these un-natural chemicals. I grow most of my own herbs (without the use of pesticides). The rest I buy organic, from a reliable source. There are few things in society and life that you can control. What you put into and on your body is one of them that you can, and should."

"Personally, I try to use the buttermilk salts at least one evening a week. I feel clean and very relaxed, my mind seems to slow down which helps me to fall asleep easily. There's nothing like warm water and a luscious scent to really put things into a harmonious state. It keeps my skin soft and smooth, and helps to make the world seem like a better place. I guess it helps wash away the cares of the day, right down the drain."

"Immediately after bathing I use my moisturizing lotion because this is the time when skin has the most absorbency, while the skin is still damp and the pores are open. I also carry an all-natural body powder, shampoo, herbal hair rinse, soap and other beauty products. I also manufacture a line of all-natural health care products."

"We can't change the world. But we can make choices about the products that we use to create our own little harmonious corner of it. If enough people make the same decisions, maybe this world will be a better place."
