My Holiday Must Haves - Bath Sets

I cannot believe Christmas is right around the corner! One of my favorite gifts to both give and receive during the holiday season are bath and body products. A soothing scent is a great way to pamper your smell, especially if your shower time is the only alone time you get. I know at my house that is often the case. Indulging in a hot shower or bath with amazing bath products can melt away the stress of the day.

EdenFantasys has an amazing selection of bath products that would make great gifts. You never know what you will find there. I am dying to try the Celebrate it's a slice duo – bath and shower gel. It's an orange and vanilla scented gift set of velveteen hand creme coupled with bath and shower froth. Moisturizing hand creme is a must have for me during the harsh winter months to help fight dry skin. And the bath froth sounds delightful.Plus, right now the set comes with a free towel and free stuff is always a good thing.

Another great gift idea is the Shunga garden of edo organic collection – massage kit, which includes massage oil, bath salt, and more for both him and her. Normally priced at $79.00, it's currently on sale for $59.25, a savings of $19.75. It would make a great gift for you and your significant other to enjoy. Check it out along with the other great beauty and body products to be found at EdenFantasys.

What about you guys? do you enjoy receiving bath and body products as gifts? If so, what are your favorite scents?

EdenFantasys, an online retailer of sex toys, provided me with a gift card in exchange for this post. All opinions are my own.

Happy Holidays?

The holidays bring joy, family togetherness, and a delightful spirit of giving. They also tend to bring blues to a great many. I've had my share of holiday depression, remembering loved ones who are no longer with us and such. But, those memories can easily be changed to all the great memories of past Christmases shared, making them a little easier to handle. For me, this Christmas is different.

I store all our Christmas ornaments in a large black bin. Going through them this year was heart breaking. I opened it several times and quickly closed it, unable to face the contents. Little Miss and my Mom ended up trimming the tree this year, something I both hated and was thankful for. Now I'm faced with what to do with the ornaments that I can't even type about without tears coming to my eyes. The engraved heart with our names engraved on it, given to me before marriage even seemed a possibility. The tiny framed ornament that holds our first family portrait, with a tiny Little Man in my arms. What do I do with these things? These small items represent more than a decade of memories and I honestly don't know what to do with them. We were a family, there was love, there were good times. Do I box them up and forget about them? I can't bear to toss out pictures that have my children in them. Perhaps I'll pack them away with the wedding pictures, items that I can't face, can't get rid of, and just don't know how to handle. I seriously have a box that is labeled "I just don't know".

I cannot really explain all the emotions these items and photographs bring up. I don't miss him, but it's still very new, trying to come to grips with the fact life will never be as it once as. I am just beginning to take baby steps toward living life alone, while he is already engaged. I need a copy of "Moving on After Divorce for Dummies". I am trying very hard to look at it as an adventure. Having married at 17, this is the first time I've been on my own as an adult. Single parenthood is difficult, but a journey I'm figuring out. The being separated from Little Man is the part I struggle with daily. One step at a time and a lot of prayer, that's all I know to do. Even with all the difficult adjustments, there is no doubt in my mind that I'm stronger than I was even six months ago.

Those of you who have "been there, done that" any tips on surviving the first holiday season after divorce?
