Take Me Away ~ Just For A Moment!

In these days of fast living, hectic paced lives…stop; take the time to coddle your self. If you are feeling rushed, stressed, and overwhelmed, you will not be at your best. How can you expect to be the best role model for your children, the perfect partner for your mate, the best employee or employer when you are feeling out of control? Take the time out of your busy schedule and do something for yourself. You will feel re-energized and ready to go again! I’m not promising that the products of our e-tailers are a magic fix…we both know there is no magic fix. But, it does not hurt to take time out and pamper your self.







Perhaps, you need nothing more than a quiet moment with a relaxing cup of herbal tea. Maybe you need a tub full of hot water, a fragrant scrub, a moisturizing, full-lathering, aromatic bar of handmade soap. Many of our e-tailers have sent in full-sized bars of soap – you will receive at least two or more full-sized bars. Wait….I forgot the bath salts and bath teas; you may want to start with one of those. The products in this box presents so many possibilities that you won’t know where to start. Just jump right in! Oh, the candles, tarts, and melts are sure to satisfy your senses and the enjoyable aromas wafting through the air will be most pleasurable while you are immersed and soaking in your tub of delightful products.

Once you have completed your marvelous bathing extravaganza, you will be ready to slather your body with the many massage oils, lotions, body bars, or creams that are included in our box to soothe your skin. By this time, you should be relaxed and feeling gorgeous. Maybe it’s time for another cup of tea. Or perhaps, you would like to try some of awesome mineral eye shadow or a bit of the fantastic smelling perfume. Full-sized items abound in this box. There are many items in our boxes – they are FULL of outstanding, impressive, awesome, marvelous, glorious, beautiful, delightful, enjoyable, splendid, remarkable products created by our e-tailers. I think I did an ample job of describing their products – if not feel free to add your adjectives to this post.









Remember….lock the door….let Snowberry Creek Sample Boxes take you away from the hassles of daily life! Take a moment to reflect, get a new outlook or attitude – you will feel better and be able to deal more effectively with whatever comes your way. Now, this is not a proven fact – just my opinion and observations of my own life. Sample Boxes on Sale Now.

Memorial Day - Honor your Servicemen/women

Take time to honor the men and women who died serving our country so we can enjoy the freedom that we have. I know many people will say that we are not free today, but I personally disagree. We enjoy many freedoms and take most of them for granted!

Memorial Day was once called Decoration Day and started with the Civil War. The tremendous loss of life on both sides led to women decorating the graves of their loved ones with flowers. It was a way to show honor to the men who so bravely fought and a healing process for the women. You may read more about 10 facts of Memorial Day on CNN.

Review of Embossed Soap by Ye Olde Chandler

I am truly blessed in the luck department. I love surprises! Well, good ones anyway. When Ye Olde Chandler's box arrived, I opened it and sniffed everything. Their candles always smell sooooo good!

I was surprised to find 2 gold organza bags tucked into the box - each had a card enclosed; one with my name and one with Julie's. I was touched and my heart warmed by Faye & Lesli's kindness. I grabbed my bag out and sniffed it really good!


Inside the gold oraganza bag was a soap! I loooove soaps! I'm not talking about any old soap, but a classy looking soap. I will send you to their site to read all about the embossed Fleur-di-lis. It is a beautiful soap and that gold organza bag is just the right accent. This is a soap that anyone would love to receive as a special thank-you or as a wedding or shower favor. They offer many fragrances - ours are Roses and Creme. It smells very good! Great lather, leaves you feeling clean and refreshed.

If you want to add some class to someone's life and a surprise they will love - visit Ye Olde Chandler to purchase the Fleur-di-lis.

Thank you Faye and Lesli - we love our soaps!
