I love the smell of coconut, and this has a very lovely coconut scent. However, the product itself is not that great.
I've tried a few different lip butters from The Body Shop. This one doesn't have a very smooth consistency, whereas the others do. It's a bit gritty and bumpy. It's also pure white, so if you put it on your lips and the layer isn't spread out evenly, your lips will look awfully strange!
I don't think that this moisturizes all that well. Their lip therapy sticks do a much better job, but this is so thin that it doesn't really do anything. The only thing I would end up using it for is my cuticles, if I had nothing else.

I love the Satsuma scent. It smells like delicious oranges! It's not overly fragrant or perfumey, so I can put this on my hands and not worry about getting a headache or a cough.
This is a pretty thick cream, but it sinks into the skin really well without feeling greasy. My hands feel really silky whenever I use it. I don't have particularly dry hands, so I don't know how this would work on chapped skin, but for me this feels very nice.
I used to have a small Satsuma cream that said it had a cooling effect. This one doesn't say it has a cooling effect, but I still feel a bit of cooling on contact. It could just be my imagination, or maybe it's not! Either way, I like the way it feels.

My friend gave this to me as a gift. I have always loved the Satsuma line from The Body Shop, and this was no exception!
The scent on this is fantastic. It smells like fresh oranges, really citrus-y. It's a good exfoliator for sensitive skin types because it's not too rough on the skin, but it still has enough of an exfoliating effect that you can feel it scrubbing at your skin. It doesn't have any plastic micro beads, which makes it much better for the environment when it gets washed down the drain.
It doesn't work as well on my driest areas (eg. my feet), but for everywhere else, this keeps my skin feeling very soft and smooth without irritating it, and I smell great all day long.

I got a sample of this for free with the purchase of other products.
It was too fragrant for me, and reminded me of the Vitamin E cream. This was recommended for sensitive skin, but it gave me a really bad reaction. My face broke out in a rash and became very sore and tight. I immediately looked up the ingredients online, and found that the list was very long and full of chemicals, so it's no wonder I reacted as badly as I did!
I wouldn't recommend this at all if you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to heavy fragrance. If the thought of putting tons of chemicals on your skin bothers you, stay away from this one and look for something more natural. There are plenty of better options that contain vitamin E.

This is another product I tried when I was younger and really liked, but once again, they have massively reformulated it, and not in a good way.
This is supposed to be for sensitive skin. Maybe it used to be, but this new version is chock full of chemicals and perfumes. It is highly scented, which it never used to be, and made my skin react terribly, which it never used to do. Even my mom, who does not have sensitive skin and is not sensitive to scents, could not use this on her face and has decided to put it on her feet.
I don't know what The Body Shop is doing, but they seriously need to rethink some of their products. They used to have more natural formulas, but now their ingredient lists are a mile long. That's not good for anyone!

I had this years ago and really loved it. My friend bought it for me a few months ago, and all I can say is it is definitely not the same formulation.
First and foremost, they have added bucketloads of perfume to this. It always had such a light, natural shea butter scent, and now it has tons of added fragrance. I thought maybe I could get away with just putting this on my feet, but the scent lingered on my hands even after washing them TWICE. It made me feel physically ill.
Secondly, the actual consistency of their body butters has changed. They are just not as thick as they used to be. They have more of a moussey consistency now, rather than being super duper thick like they always were. I used to use them as a foot mask for my dry feet, but the way that they're made now, it's just nowhere near as hydrating.
I really hope they go back to their old formulation. I would definitely use them if they did, but presently I can't recommend them.

This is one of my favourite body washes. I've been using it for years! Because it comes in a variety of sizes, and it's on sale often, it's easy to find a size and a price for you.
This stuff smells amazing. It smells just like strawberries, so pure and juicy. It lathers really well, whether you're using a loofah or not! Even the smallest bottle lasts me a long time because such a small amount goes a long way.
If you find a good sale, you can easily get the largest size for $10 or less. It will last you forever!

Kinnikinnick Chocolate Chip Cookies

These cookies make a good little snack. Because they're so small, you can have one or two and not feel bad about it later on. They're not that high in sugar in fat, so it's a pretty good option if you don't want to feed your kids anything too calorie dense.
These are hard cookies, not soft baked. The taste is good, but nothing amazing. If you have allergies or intolerances, this product is pretty easy to find and it's not that expensive. You get quite a few in a package, but as I previously stated, they are very small.
I think this is a good option if you're looking for an allergy-free option at your local grocery store, but it doesn't stack up to freshly baked goods.

These Kinnikritters are a gluten-free version of animal crackers. I bought them for myself when I was going through a spell where I couldn't eat much throughout the day.
These come in a couple of different flavours. The regular flavour tastes just like a little biscuit, kind of sweet and almost veering towards a shortbread flavour. The graham flavour tastes just like graham crackers! There is also a chocolate flavour, but I haven't tried those.
I find that these lose their crunch fairly easily, so unless you go through the box quickly or maybe put the product in a bag with a tighter seal, they'll go soft inside the box. They still taste good, but because they're not as crunchy, they don't taste quite as fresh.
These are a little on the sweet side for me, but they are definitely very easy on the stomach, and I'm sure kids eith allergies would love them!

My friend gave me the mini version of this as part of a gift.
I have sensitive skin and sensitive eyes, and this is a very gentle product for me to use. I pour a bit onto a cotton pad and proceed to wipe off my eye makeup. I find I don't have to rub as hard as I would with makeup remover wipes, so even though this is gentle, it's still very effective. Mascara and eyeliner just seem to melt right off with this. It doesn't leave my eyes feeling oily, like a lot of eye makeup removers.
Even though I only have the mini version, I feel it has lasted me a lot longer than I expected it to. A little really goes a long way, so even though the full size is a bit pricey, I can only imagine how long it must last!
