8 What We're Sweet On: The Body Wash That Will Have You Lingering in the Shower
The Body Shop
9 Leather, Lavender, and More Reasons to Linger in the Shower
Sometimes the best part of the shower is the scent of the shower gel itself. While each one serves its primary purpose well (to get you free of dirt and grime), each one will also leave you wanting to stay in the bathroom just a bit longer. Check out these olfactory-pleasers below: Nivea Touch of Cashmere Cream Oil Body Wash ($6) — With the word cashmere in the name, you know this one is going Read more
I've always been one of those people who absolutely can't wait to hop in the shower, Elemis's Tranquil Touch Creamy Body Wash ($35) smells so good, it makes me want to linger just a bit longer. Made with sweet almond oil to soften and hydrate, this creamy cleanser is scented with patchouli, cedarwood, and vetiver. While it's light and fresh, it also has a heady, powdery essence; it's perfect for Read more

Philosophy first came out with a Strawberry Milkshake 3-in-1 Cleanser — and all the boys came to the yard.

It's supposed to Read more
To smell Amazing Grace shower gel is to love the scent. It's soft, slightly sweet, and it somehow reminds me of that wonderful clean-baby smell. (Oprah loves it so much that she named it one of her favorite things in 2005!) But as much as I love the scent, I don't love this shower gel. It's supposed to be a three-in-one body cleanser, shampoo and bubble bath. Unfortunately, it's a good bubble Read more
When Walgreens began carrying European beauty lines, I was thrilled. Sure, I'm always happy to browse the aisles for the old standby brands, but who doesn't like a little bit of Continental cosmetics when they pick up their prescriptions? One of my favorite products is by Red Water Laboratories, a Greek brand that uses thermal spring water from the birthplace of Alexander the Great. Its Read more
J.Blossom is a brand with a clear mission, and a warm, fuzzy one at that. Founder Jamila White created the bath and body products with children of color in mind, looking to keep kids both clean and carefree. In a recent interview with Afrobella, White explains her motivation: "I felt like little girls’ self-esteem was under an all-out assault. Every message was telling them that something was Read more
