Dove Nutrium Moisture Body Wash Review + Giveaway

I believe in pedicures.  And massages.  And haircuts with the awesome scalp massage, you know the ones that almost put you to sleep they’re so good?  These things make me happy.  They make me feel pampered and cared for.  They do for my physical well-being what friendships and reading and a full night’s sleep do for my mental well-being. The older I get, the more I realize how important these things are. 

It is vital to take time for yourself.  Not just for the big pampering events like pedicures and massages, but a small moment each day.  Even five minutes can make a world of difference.  It preserves my sanity.  Maybe your five minutes is in the wee hours of the morning before the rest of the house is awake?  Or while the kids take a nap?  Or in your office, sipping coffee with the door closed before a big meeting? 

My daily quiet time is in the shower.  I close the door, turn on the shower, and decompress.  Those uninterrupted five minutes are sometimes the best of my day… and then my four year old, Finn, usually bursts in and asks if I am done yet. 

We are loyal Dove customers, so when Dove offered to have me try the Dove Nutrium Body Wash, I jumped at the chance.  Usually we buy the giant pack of Dove Beauty Bars at Costco.  Truthfully, I wanted to see if the body wash was good enough to make me abandon my beloved bar. 

It is silky with a nice lather that rinses clean.  It feels great on your skin and it has the same neutral, fresh smell that the bars do.  That is important for us because Dave takes issue with smelling like a girl.  My skin smells great and feels super soft after using it.

The verdict?  We’ll keep using it, but Dave wants the bar as well.  His only issue was that he uses the bar to wash his face and he found that the body wash didn’t suit his face washing.  {And yes, no matter how hard I try or how many fancy face washes I buy, he still uses soap!}

Dove wants to give a $100 SpaFinder gift card to one lucky So Wonderful, So Marvelous reader so you can enjoy some pampering!  Just leave a comment telling me how you nourish yourself each day.
