Pink Olive Boutique

Has the holiday rush got you feeling stressed? Piling all the usual holiday "to-do's" on top of raising kids, working and running a household can make a mom feel ready to just run away. Or at least just get away. However, it's not always possible to have a physical getaway, so a mental getaway is the next best thing. One great way to do that after everyone's safely tucked in is to draw a nice, hot bath and luxuriate with an indulgently fragrant bath soap. It will seem like bliss, and all your cares will seem far, far away - at least for as long as your bath lasts.

Enter Pink Olive Boutique, a cute site full of products created for both mom and baby that will bring a smile to your face. Their products under the heading "Getaway" are my favorite. Especially the Caramel Cafe Latte Bath Soaps. Their rich scent will make you feel pampered and indulged in the comfort of your own tub, without filling you with lots of extra calories. And while you're at it, grab a great read such as Confessionsof a Shopaholic. The whole "Shopaholic" series is lots of fun. I've found myself immersed in a copy until the wee hours of the morning. They're full of surprises, and a great way to "get away" and escape into the world of fiction.

A little getaway will leave you feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the holiday responsibilities with a whole new attitude, and hopefully enjoy it in the process.
