Enjoy guilt-free decadence with the Body Bakery

What is all the rage in body care, you may ask? As a matter of fact, it is food. Now, before you go slather

yourself in sliced avocados or give yourself an egg yolk facial, you should probably know that the reference to food is in the fragrance. While shower gels, creams and lotions of old were fragranced with delicate floral scents, the new flavor is delicious food-like smells. Essentially, bath and body desserts. These creams, lotions and potions are all made to resemble the smell of your favorite bakery fantasy. Lemon Pound Cake, Banana Nut Bread, and warm, rich brownies can now be enjoyed without a pound gained or an inch added to your waist. Although they may sound edible, these sumptuous treats are strictly for your body and nose to enjoy.

 

The Body Bakery, an internet-based company, whips up a myriad of elegantly formulated body

products, from Whipped Butter body cream to bathtub Bon-Bons. All of the fabulous products are made to order in your choice of delectable "flavors".  I personally sampled the Body Bakery's Whipped Cream body cream in the "Strawberry Shortcake" scent. At first, I thought it to be too sweet for my particular tastes, but as the day wore on, I found myself drawn to the delightful aroma. Now it is one of my dressing table staples. I simply cannot pass by without at least spreading a thin layer over my arms and décolleté (where it can easily be reached by my nose).

 

One of my very favorite features of The Body Bakery web site is the "Design-a-Dessert" section. A customer can actually choose almost any combination of scents to be added to the Whipped Cream base and proceed to name their personal creation. "Design-a-Dessert" is a wonderful way to personalize a gift or to make something special and truly unique for yourself. Treat yourself and your loved ones this Holiday season to the world's finest body desserts.
