Chocolate & Strawberries Work For Body Products, Too!

May 3, 2013

This has to be one of the BEST SMELLING body products I have ever used!

Okay, let me back up. During one of my leisure strolls through Tuesday Morning I saw this Chocolate Strawberry bubble bath and body creme made by Upper Canada Soap.

This is one of the many things I love about stores like Tuesday Morning… I see things I may otherwise never ~~obsess~~ know about.

Anyway, I can’t believe how much it really smells like chocolate covered strawberries. If you see it anywhere you should absolutely buy it, and ship it to me if you’re not in love, .
