Sweet smells for summer.

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.

To enter:

If you do any (or all!) of these things, please leave separate, additional comments to get credit for each entry.

The deadline is 9 p.m. PDT on Monday, July 23. If the winner does not respond to my e-mail by midday Wednesday, I’ll have the random number generator draw another winner. In other words: If you enter the contest, check your e-mail.

  1. I subscribe to RSS, get your emails and would really love to smell good in this weird weather we are having. Hotter than H-E-double toothpick, then cool and windy next day. Crazy stuff.

  2. I signed up to follow you on twitter a week or so ago. Heat had broken here for a bit, but August is still to come!

  3. I subscribe via email. This is a great giveaway. We just moved to a Phoenix suburb 2 months ago-from Wyoming-and to say the weather is HOTTER is a huge understatement. Thanks for offering this…even I’m not the lucky one!

  4. 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.

  5. Oh my a body scrub is exactly what I need. As an Albuquerque CPA I get really stressed working on numbers the whole day…lol. A body scrub is a stress reliever for any hardworking gal. I just followed you on Twitter 😉
