**These products were sent to me for review by Maple Holistics. Reviews are entirely my own personal opinion**
Yesterday was a bad day.
First, Benjamin didn't nap once due to us getting a new roof. This meant roofers were stomping around, pounding in nails and yelling at each other the whole morning and afternoon AND early evening. This made for a cranky baby. Second, I didn't have a chance to have a shower and/or bath the whole day which made for a cranky Christina. Third, I woke up to two pimples on my chin.
There you have it. A yucky day all around. After Allan got home, dinner was eaten, baby was bathed and put down for bed, I handed the baby monitor to him and said "I'm having a Maple Holistics Spa Day".
Seriously, I am SO HAPPY I did.
The Shampoo and Conditioner were so relaxing. They are limited edition products called "Winter Blend" and they seriously smell like candy canes. The best part of these products is they make your scalp tingle and give it a nice cooling sensation. The products are created with a blend of 5 different mint varieties as well as a laundry list of gorgeous therapeutic products (green tea, sea buckthorn and hibiscus to name a few). My hair was clean and my scalp was tingly and I felt so much more relaxed after using them. (Quick thing to note, because they are sulfate free you will not get the same lather you do with other shampoos. I don't use sulfate products personally, so this is something I'm already used to.)
As you all know, I'm a sucker for a good skin mask. Before opening the mask, I thought it was a scrub BUT was very pleasantly surprised to see it was a mud mask! I have had mud masks in Thailand and Bali and this one reminded me of one I had during my travels. I was instantly drawn in by the gorgeous lavender smell. Seriously, so relaxing and luxurious. The mask went on super smoothly and hardened within a matter of minutes.
I removed the mask after a few minutes and my skin was SO SMOOTH. Seriously, I feel like a whole new person. It's been a long time since I've said this but I will actually be buying this product again once I'm out. It is seriously fantastic.

I love your mask pic! A spa day sounds so blissful! I'm happy you got some time to yourself after such a crazy day. Too bad I don't have a US postbox, otherwise I'd totally enter the contest. :) The hair products sound great, so I think I'll purchase them to start with.
