it's like going on vacation, but not...

cupcake not included (but that would be nice!)

Some things just happen at the right time. This arrived at my desk when I felt slightly hurried, hungry for lunch but too busy to actually eat. One whiff of the body cream and I was instantly (mentally) transported to an island getaway, sipping a coconut wearing a killer bikini. For approximately five seconds I was relaxed and comfy.

Carol's Daughter Ocean Bath & Body Collection is the perfect mix of fresh and sweet. A crisp scent, it reminds me of candy but not in a saccharine sweet (read: annoying) way. It's yummy. Delicious. Beautiful. It opens with a lemon burst and fruity notes, closely followed by floral and marine accords. At the heart of the scent lies Water Lily and Lavender -- cool and calming.

This is said to be best for women with normal to dry skin for a long lasting, fresh scent. Created in 1993, this scent is so popular the brand decided to relaunch it despite being discontinued some time ago. Power to the people!

This collection (cleansing gel, body cream and dry mist) will be available starting May 5, 2012 exclusively on HSN. For the eager, Carol's Daughter is hosting a fun contest on their Facebook page where you can win the entire collection.
