After reading the NASTEE months ago, I decided to do the Foo. Unfortunately it was quite problematic for me since I have eczema and my skin just won't tolerate Bath and Body works foo. [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] After one use, I get these nasty red weeping patches all over. Really yucky and qiute painfull. What was I to do? I went on a mission to find a Foo for the Foo Foo challenged. After trying a dozen or so trial sizes of various brands, I discovered that Mary Kay's fragrances don't irritate my skin. I still can't use a body wash, but I can use a fragranced lotion on the tops of my arms only, and their perfume doesn't bother me at all, so after a couple of months of searching, I finally found my Foo! My 2002 Foo was Belara by Mary Kay. I think of WDW every time I wear it.

I liked Bath and Body Works as well--until I discovered The Body Shop, L'Occitane and Philosophy. I'm now a big-ole convert to that stuff.

Body Shop has very powerful natural scents: Satsuma Orange is so strong that I feel like I'm bathing in orange juice (in the good way). Plus, it's stuff is usually very soothing to the skin and quite natural. Try the Hemp lip balm and skin lotion--works like a charm. Their body butters are also nifty.

L'Occitane has amazing candles in tin boxes--they travel well and will fill up the whole room with scent (they use essential oils in the candle, making it stronger smelling). Plus, their perfums are wonderful and natural smelling (you don't smell like a french...well, you know!). I use magnolia and it reminds me of the Polynesian at night. You can find them at Sephora if you don't have a L'Occitane in your city.

Philosophy is incredible, and their bath gels can be used as shampoos/conditioners in a pinch. Plus, the scent is strong in the bath, but doesn't cling to you too much afterwards. And, their products are designed for tricky skin-types, and should not affect people with allergies. They are also at Sephora or department stores.

Those are my current faves for foo-foo.

With a coupon and a gift card burning a hole in my wallet, y'all have given me the excuse to hit Bath & Body Works this week. Thanks! (I think!)

And, as I wipe the tears from my eyes, I read the NASTEE trip report last night. ROFL! I made the mistake of starting it before dinner. Needless to say, dinner was late and it was only spaghetti, but I have not laughed that much in ages! Nate truly has a gift!

ANother big B&BW fan here... gotta have my foo!
My favorite vacation foo-foo is Cool Citrus Basil. It has a very clean, refreshing scent. It is also a scent that my DH likes -- so he, too, uses the shower gel.

Love the foo. Cotton Blossom was ours, too. So fresh, so light. And each time I smell it now...ahhhhh... Our little room at the All Stars Music with 17 pairs of shoes between Jordie and Mimi. [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] Clothes everywhere. We had such fun. Buy the candle that matches the scent, too. It's great! [img]graemlins/love.gif[/img]
