I just have to give a shout out to Philosophy Brand Bath and Shower Gels. They are the BEST smelling bath products I have ever used. I like the food flavors: red velvet cake, cinnamon hot dots, creamy white frosting, and crispy marshmallow treat. Using them in the shower satisfies my urge for a sweet treat, without any calories!
MORE INFORMATION:
They are a little pricey at about $16 per bottle at Sephora or department store cosmetic counters. You can get them cheaper on e-bay. Make sure to smell them first though - some "flavors" are better than others.

I agree! They can be a little costly but we're worth it, right? Sometimes you can find a coupon to use on their website or wait for a sale at a store so you can stock up. Do you watch the Philosophy shows on the QVC channel? Lots of dun. Sometimes they sell sets in smaller sizes so you can try new ones. Macy's has a good inventory too.
They're great for gifts or just to treat yourself. Best of all, no calories so you won't gain an ounce! The suds are so luxurious and it's fun to try new "flavors." I haven't tried too many of them yet but have a few on my wish list. Enjoy!

ok, where do you get these products,although I do like the residual smell on the skin, because I don't use fragrance. Most bath products smell good enough.

Never heard of these--where can I find them?

I do, too, and have pretty much used nothing else for years. They smell so good, are creamy, and do not leave a residual smell on the skin so they don't compete with your fragrance.

Weekend Guests - Basket of Goodies
I make a small 8” x 9” basket for weekend guests composed of shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, shower cap, bath gel & other things I get from the hotels when traveling. I add a disposal razor, a package of bath salts, maybe some perfume samples, a shower net puff,
MORE INFORMATION:
a tiny travel hair spray, new wrapped toothbrush, toothpaste & anything else I can think of that a guest might like just in case they forgot something important. I leave this on the vanity along with a large supply of towels & washcloths & encourage them to use or take any of the items with them.
I keep two types of shower products: upscale, nice-smelling shampoo and conditioner and perfumed bath gel, and normal drugstore stuff. When I have worked out in the morning before my shower, I use the good stuff, and when I haven't, I use the cheap stuff. Every time I take a shower after I work out, I'm rewarding myself for sticking to my goals, and every time I have to use the normal stuff, I'm reminded to get back on track.
MORE INFORMATION:
You can find travel sizes of most upscale bath products that fit well into a gym bag without taking up much room.
Clean the shower after you (or someone else) has just had a nice hot shower. The steam loosens the gunk. Rather than using stinky commercial cleaners, try Avon Bubble Bath and an old bath pouf. Or, even better, shower, deep condition your hair, then shower again.
