Barefoot Wine Gift Basket

I received a gift basket yesterday from Barefoot Wine from my friend Derek from South Beach, Florida yesterday. I was so happy to get the items for my birthday party coming up in Tybee Island. In the wine basket I had 2 cd’s. One was Sade’s newest cd Soldier of  Love and also Raheem Devaughn’s new album Love and War the Masterpiece . I remember listening to him live at the Moet brunch about a month ago. He is very talented artist. I love his voice.

Yesterday I was sitting in my friend’s car and I was listening to Micheal Baisdens show, when he played Raheem’s song, “Guess who loves you more”. I think thats from a previous album but my friend and I was like, “wow I like that”. I then thought to myself, ooh I have his new cd in my basket, woot!

I came home and popped it in and I must say I really like it!  I am not a huge music person but I must say I really enjoyed listening to his cd. I have cracked open Sade’s cd but did see her last night perform on Dancing with the Stars. She hasn’t aged a bit. If you love neo soul type music, you will love Raheem’s cd, he is the truth!

I’ve been seeing alot of spas on tv lately and on alot of websites and blogs. I remember when I was little, my mom loved to take hot baths. Now, people are so in a rush, everyone is taking quick showers. When I was young, I would always wash my moms back, that was the highlight of my day. I loved to watch my mom bathe and talk to her about whatever. That was our lil mommy/daughter time. People don’t really do that anymore, and I know for sure it’s been awhile since I really had a chance to have a nice rosemary scented, candle lit soak myself.

My hubby and my kids get so excited when I draw them a bath. They jump up and down and get this huge grin on their faces when they see all those bubbles. I think to myself, “wow it’s just a bubble bath geesh” but they really get a kick out of it. My son gets all his lil power rangers and my daughter gets her dollies. They stay in there for hours, splish splashing around and playing. Even my hubby likes to do weird things in the tub like, do his own pedicure, clean his ears really good… it’s so funny to watch.

When life gets hectic for you, think of taking a deep soak and just relax with the door shut. I play music, light a candle, use my favorite organic soap, and just sit back and chillax. Here are some great things that I will be using for my next bath. Enjoy!
