I am sorry, but how are we at Advent Calendar season already?! It feels like it was only Halloween yesterday, but here we are in full on Christmas swing now. I do love an Advent, there is something about getting a special treat each day counting down to the most magical time of year.
I haven’t had an Advent Calendar from The Body Shop in a few years now. I really enjoyed them, but I found they started to be a little samey each year, so thought I would give them a little break. I do have high hopes for this ‘Share the Joy‘ one though! I really enjoyed writing about them every couple of days before, so lets see if I can keep it up this year too!
The packaging of this is lovely. It’s a nice and chunky box, filled with smaller boxes inside for each day slotted in like puzzle pieces. I love the little graphics on each little box and the colours are gorgeous too!
★ Obviously, there will be spoilers ahead, so if you don’t want to know what I opened in boxes 1-5, don’t scroll down! ★
Day 1 – Strawberry Hand Cream
I absolutely love The Body Shop hand creams, but Strawberry is my least favourite scent ever. I’m not a fan of anything Strawberry smelling or tasting that isn’t actually a Strawberry ha. This will be rehomed though, as I’m sure I know somebody that is a Strawberry lover.
Day 2 – The British Rose Shower Gel
Now we are talking! I have had this shower gel before and I love it so much. Rose is just one of the best scents in my opinion (yes I am an old lady really) and I am so glad this one has been included again.
Day 3 – Pink Grapefruit Bath Bubble
I can actually smell this one through the packaging. The Grapefruit is so strong and I bet it makes a bath smell amazing. The scent just reminds me of being on holiday and tropical cocktails, something I wish for daily. I can’t wait to use this one soon!
Day 4 – Bath Lily
I am always in need of a new Bath Lily. This one feels so much softer than the plastic lilies and is more eco friendly too. Frank does keep trying to nick it though, he is such a pain.
Day 5 – Mango Body Butter
This is my kinda product. I absolutely love the body butters from The Body Shop and they were one of the first products I purchased from there and I have never really stopped. I absolutely love the Mango scent and will be using this one whenever I need a summery smelling pick me up.
Do you have a special Advent Calendar this year? ❤
