Pink Papaya with Carrie Review and Giveaway

-Part of our Holiday Gift Guide 2012-

**December Spotlight Sponsor**

Winter and the Holiday season can be rough on everyone. All the hustle and bustle, the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and preparing for celebrations galore can wear a mom out. Sometimes I just need a little me time to wind down and relax this time of year, but it doesn't always happen. This year is a bit different, between not feeling well pregnancy wise and not having tons of energy, I have rested more than normal the last few months. The last week I have started to feel more normal and with this being my hubby's busiest month at work, I am gearing up for a hectic next few weeks. I am super thankful that when I am ready for some me time, I have Pink Papaya with Carrie to help me out.

Pink Papaya offers natural spa and beauty products through its network of Independent Consultants. It was launched in 2006 by two sisters who were living out their childhood dream of creating a business together. Pink Papaya offers bath, body, and aromatherapy products that are made with 100% pure essential oils, natural botanical extracts, with products that are made in the USA (with the exception of two items), use no animal testing, and offer paraben free solutions.

Carrie is an Independent Consultant with Pink Papaya and an MBP Spotlight Sponsor and friend. She always sends us the hottest, newest, and most popular Pink Papaya products to share with our great readers and we haven't been disappointed. This month, Carrie knew the perfect item to send, it is a Holiday Only item and has been a Pink Papaya chart breaker for 4 years-I was excited!

My Pink Papaya with Carrie package has arrived!

Inside my festive snowflake bag were a Winter's Nap Gift Set, a handwritten note, and even an extra surprise-some samples of Creamy Body Butter Gypsy and a Daily Moisturizer from the Facetini Travel Kit. Jackpot!

The Winter's Nap Gift Set is amazing! The Winter's Nap Gift Set is only available during the Holiday season and retails for $24.

It includes:

2 Ounces of Cranberry Orange Hand Scrub
2 Ounces of Shea Butter Hand Creme
2 White Cotton Gloves

To use: Scrub over a sink using damp hands and a dime sized amount of Cranberry Orange Hand Scrub until the sugar dissolves. Rinse and pat dry. Apply Shea Butter Hand Creme, using only a little, it goes a long way. Your hands should now feel a million times better and more refreshed!

The Cranberry Orange Hand Scrub is an uplifting mixture of organic sugar, cranberry seeds, vitamin E, sesame seed oil, and Aloe Vera.

This hand scrub smells so wonderful and exfoliates really well. It has the right combination of sweetness and lingers long after I used it with just the right pleasantness. My hands felt better immediately and only took about a minute.

The Shea Butter Hand Creme is especially nourishing for dry hands and made with avocado oil and sunflower seed oil.

Shea Butter is a great fragrance, not overpowering and completely soothing. I used just a drop and it was plenty.

A pair of white cotton gloves are also included to use after applying the Winter's Nap duo. They were helpful to absorb any extra lotion so that I could get back to working around the house.

I loved the Winter's Nap Gift Set, my hands felt so great and it took less than 5 minutes. It was just the pick me up I needed to continue working and still get a quick relaxing in. I know I will continue to use this throughout the Holiday season to refresh and rejuvenate my hands and keep them from getting too dry.

Carrie also sent me some Creamy Body Butter Gypsy, which will be great for refreshing my dry winter skin all over. It never fails that come January my skin is looking cracked and dry, I can't wait to put on my Pink Papaya Body Butter and keep my skin hydrated. The light scent is pleasant and relaxing too. Carrie has me covered from toes to face, because she also included facial moisturizer from the Facetini line. Using this moisturizer will help tone my face, especially on those tired mornings and give me a bit of glow.

Pink Papaya also has some other amazing gifts for the Holidays.
