My prize package is a wonderful Healing Spa Basket from Baskets-N-Beyond valued at $69.99.

Dream sweet dreams with the comforting aromatherapy bath and body treats included  in the Essential Healing Spa gift basket.  Great for pampering your body, your spirit and your tastebuds.
This basket has moisturizing body lotion, moisturizing bath & body wash, moisturizing bath and body scrub, moisturing body spray, and moisturizing bath salts with a sea sponge as well as an aromatherapy pillar candle.
You also get a soothing gel eye mask, a back massager, a pedicure set, some lovely herbal tea and truffles, chocolate cream-filled wafer roll cookies and a 100% cotton bath towel all in a useful and charming countertop bath caddy.

The scent of this gift is mango, magnolia or vanilla, depending on availability.


From Baskets-N-Beyond:  We make changes to our inventory based on product availability, new trends in the gourmet food industry and seasonal restrictions. Therefore, we reserve the right to substitute an item with one of equal or greater value. Quality will never be compromised. We cannot ship chocolate during the summer months (May-Sept); appropriate substitutions for chocolate items will be made.

My thoughts: This is the basket I received and I loved it. It was so beautiful to look at I almost (I say, almost!) didn’t want to open it. But, open it I did of course. I had been working particularly hard that week and this was heaven in a basket. After dinner, I was able to find that coveted “ME” time, and took a wonderful bath in candlelight. All cell phones off!

The mango scent I received was not too strong and had a light fruit scent. I found it very refreshing and enjoyed breathing it in as I unwound from the stresses of the week. I love the sea sponge. It felt very natural on my skin unlike those with artificial fibers. I dried off with my new bath towel, then moisturized my skin with the lotion. I felt renewed.

The tea, truffles and cookies were a treat as well! The massager felt great on sore muscles.

The next day I gave myself a pedicure and found that my heels were rougher than I thought, painted my toenails and wore my sandals this past weekend with a flowery dress out for dinner. I felt lighter and much more relaxed.

I love the presentation with silk flowers and beautiful colors and the tray which I will surely be using.

And, I have to add that I am really happy with the gel eye mask. When I stay up late (often!), either working or otherwise, my eyes sometimes are puffy or even hurt the next day. I love the way the gel beads can be easily cooled and when I rest the mask over my eyes, they feel wonderful and so soothed.

This was really an unexpected treat and I’m very happy that one of you will be winning a similar basket from the wonderful Baskets-N-Beyond. Just enter the Rafflecopter, and best of luck!

    I love to listen to jazz or just turn everything off and listen to the rain, the ocean, the birds singing…whatever I’m near. And I will do the deep breathing quite often.

    Having my husband take the children away for an hour. That’s it. I don’t even have to do anything for the hour 😀 (I have 2 under 5) I do like hot baths and long walks though.
    Thank you for the chance to win!

    I like to drink a glass of wine or a cup of tea (depending on the time)to destress. I also like to play silly games with my grandkids to blow off steam.

    I live in the middle of nowhere so I like to go outside & scream every once in a while. I also like to set up something from grandma’s yardsell barn (I’ve tried sell it but no one will buy) & shoot at it.

    I collect teas and have a calm music/white noise app on my iPod. Soo letting that play, drinking my tea and reading or being lazier and watching some Foreign movies(my favorite is Paris, Je’taime) and just relaxing.

    My favorite way to destress is to soak in a warm scented bath with candles and soft music playing.

    To relax, my favorite thing is to lock myself in my room and read a good book. 🙂 My favorite basket is the Essence of Lavender Basket

    A good book makes all the difference. Sometimes, I take a bath to relax. But curling up with my iPad on the patio or on the couch work just as well.

    My favorite way to relax is laying with a heating pad watching something funny or soothing. I also get very relaxed when I read to the point of near-unconsciousness LOL!

    I like to open the window and listen to the rain while sipping tea. On sunny days sit in the shade and take in the trees and birds singing. Moving the focus of me and my life and slowing down is food for the soul!

    My favorite way to de-stress is to either go for a long walk with my tunes or read a good book on my Kindle after the kids have gone to bed for the night. Thanks so much for hosting this great giveaway!

    After the kids go to bed, I like to draw a bubble bath, grab a glass of wine if I have any, some chocolate, my kindle and relax. Sometimes during the afternoon when my husband gets home from work, I’ll go for a run.
