Much of the country has been baking in higher-than-normal summer temps. Stinking hot, in meteorological terms.
Days like those call for tepid showers or long, cool soaks. This week’s giveaway will help you along. They will also help you not to stink.
Your bath and after-bath experience will be all the sweeter with this small collection of personal-care items:
- Victoria’s Secret “Aqua Kiss” body scrub and matching body cream (each about 7 ounces)
- Five 1-ounce Philosophy shower gels and creams: “Inner Grace,” “Pure Grace” and “Amazing Grace”
- Three 1-ounce tubes of Guinot body firming cream, which is intended for (among other things) “slack and dehydrated skin” — at this time of year, plenty of us are there
Cool baths, lots of water, and ice-cold fruits will reduce the heat stress. Of course, so would a 20-degree drop in the mercury. But we don’t always get to choose.

Sounds like a wonderful self-indulgence!
What a lovely giveaway! Please include me.
No long showers for me, though. Our part of the country is in a light to moderate drought, and according to the last map I saw on the Weather Underground site, we’re better off than a lot of the country. So I guess it’s short showers or long soaks for me, at least for now.
Yes please!
