Since Mother’s Day is just around the corner, I thought I would take a second and share some of my favorite Origins items… in no particular order:

Origins No Offense Alcohol-free deodorant. This may seem like an dd favorite to share, but I LOVE this. This stuff is $12 a bottle, but last forever because it’s a really solid stick that has natural oils in it. It’s free of a lot of the aluminum, etc. that you find in drug store deodorants and my husband likes this one a lot too. Goes on clear, no white residue.

Origins Salt Suds Foaming body wash. This is one of my indulgent items that I ask for for Christmas, Birthday etc. since it’s $18.50, but I LOVE the smell of it. This and the Smoothing Souffle are my “spoil me” items.

Smoothing Souffle this stuff is a bit pricey… like I said above, it’s an “indulge me” item, so it makes a great gift item. I think it made Oprah’s gift list one year and I sooo know why. It smells divine and I love the way it leaves me skin feeling.

The Great Pretender™ it’s a self tanner and it’s $18.50. It doesn’t smell like most self tanners, it smells like mint and orange. I have used this for years.

Salt Rub® Scrub another sorta indulgent item at $31, but these are Mother’s Day gift ideas… not every day spending ideas. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this stuff. Love the smell, the way it makes my skin feel afterwards. Love to use the little jar afterwards for other stuff. Just always a nice surprise to get a jar of this.

Okay, so those are just a few of my favorites… I could go on and on. I worked for Origins for a bit back when I was working myself through school and I fell in love! )
