Sometimes a bubble bath works wonders for the soul.
I remembered this while I was in the tub today, as I marinated in a mound of frothy bubbles long enough for my fingers and toes to resemble raisins.
My weapon of choice? Philosophy’s Field of Flowers 3-in-1 Shower Gel.
Its fresh, freesia scent and big, squishy bubbles — which seem to last forevah — cheer me up instantly and get me squeaky clean.
I’m thinking it’s time to spread the Philosophy Field of Flowers love, so how about another giveaway? 🙂

I am soooo happy that my 13 year old daughter actually likes math class for once in many years. I moved her to another school within the district known for their math dept after she had two questionable math teachers in a row. She told me today that ‘she actually likes Algebra’ and her teacher “rocks”. She is in honor’s Algebra and I am so proud of her. Math is so important…and it is good to see her feeling empowered. Ok, just had to share:)

i’m watching my fav classic: breakfast at tiffany’s. it puts me in a glam and romantic mood. ^.^
I had grilled cheese and tomato soup. I guess that’s one thing that I can be happy about in terms of it getting cooler – at least I can eat soup again.
i can not understand how men can be so incredibly DENSE sometimes. grrrrrrrrr. im not happy.
Today I went to uni, then checked out the new MAC goodies. Can you believe they bombarded us with Euristocrats 2, Naked Honey and Colour Craft, all at once? That equals a hole in my wallet, yo! I’m still deciding what to get… Oh and I fell in love…with Chartruse pigment.
BTW, your mushroom ravioli sound delicious, specially compared to my stingy green apple =)

Haha! Having breakfast for dinner! Pancakes, sausage, and eggs! Yum!:)
Every 1st of the month is a crazy time of the month for me at work, I’m so glad it’s over and my reward is in and out burger for dinner. Yes very bad, but oh so GOOD. 🙂
Tonight I went to see (500) Days of Summer. It was a sweet movie with quite a few unique film-making elements. Definitely a must see.
Hi Karen!
I hope that tomorrow is a better day for you! Thanks for such a great contest and a great blog! I am loving it! Yesterday I made your heirloom tomato salad! It was yummy! Thanks for the idea.Even the skeptical husband loved it!!
I ate so much garlic today that I don’t want to breathe on MYSELF. But at least my makeup looked good 🙂
i received my glissade msf today and i can’t wait to use it!

tomorrow is my birthday! i’m so excited for my mom to come visit when i get out of class (physics lab on my birthday–ew!). i’m hoping we can stop at the MAC counter at dillard’s for that purple nail polish you swatched, “For Fun” i think was it’s name! i’ve been on the hunt for that EXACT color of purple, creme, no shimmer, and i think that’s perfect! without your blog i wouldn’t know about it either 🙂 so thanks, you might have led me towards my favorite birthday present this year!!
For dinner I ate… Starburst… Is that bad? LOL
I am wearing Sephora eyeshadow palette in Pretty Baby, Maybelline Colossal Volume mascara, Loreal True Match foundation in Porcelain N1, and Nars Oragasm Blush and lipstick.
I had chips and salsa for dinner. Not very good for me but tasty.
I *LOVED* Bath and Body Works Flowering Herbs scent . . . I even stocked up on it when it was discontinued. It takes me back to being on spring break in high school and visiting my aunt and uncle in Santa Cruz with my family. It was one of the last vacations we all took together . . .
Sadly, my skin has turned sensitive in the past 10 years, and I cannot use my BBW products anymore.
The Philosophy products don’t set off my skin (at least not yet!), and I’ve heard that this scent is similar to my favorite BBW Flowering Herbs.
I would *love* to win this giveaway – help me travel back to a simpler time, when I was the student, and not the teacher 🙂
I had cheese and crackers, carrots and ranch plus root beer…what I was * really * eating was the spicy italian sandwich that I left at work boo * a girl can dream right?* Hope it is there manana! 🙂
I’m gearing up to fly back to Delhi from Mumbai today…. going to miss this city, it has been an eye-opening experience.
Still debating on what I want to eat for lunch… I think I’ll have a salami sandwich.
Did a smoky eye look today…just felt like it.
my day has been a breeze :] i had a relatively small amount of homework and sat on my lazy booty and surfed the web all day :]
I can’t wait for all the upcoming collections from Mac!
I’m a total bubble bath freak….. it’s MOM’s time to veg! Tonite will be especially nice, my sons football turnout was a rainy cold one.
I started school again, and I am happy that all the teachers I have are nice. No mean teachers this semester. 🙂 Yay!!!!
I’m about to go to bed, and I just put on some Paul & Joe Milky Lip Treatment. Cutest packaging EVER, hands down!
just had pizza :p
No makeup and crackers/cheese – not balanced at all and I know better, but it’s what I wanted! 😛
5 Guys Hamburger! This shower gel sounds intriguing. I’m still a big fan of their Pure Grace & Amazing Grace.
I bought MAC “Young Thing” lipglass from the new collection today!
Just took all my makeup off. I’m kinda bummed as of right now because my little brother leaves for school in the morning. He will be ALL THE WAY ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY. We are close =/ I could definitely use a bubble bath right now.
P.S. This giveaway is brilliant 🙂
Have you seen the sneak peek photos of Sex and the City: The Sequel movie? Knowing how much you love SATC, I just had to holler!
I loooooooooooove the bottle on that thing so much. Also I tried out the D&G perfume line you mentioned and I want the green one so bad. I don’t know if I should wait til the holidays or not risk it. It smells like my boyfriend when he is all clean and cologned and gussied up.
Ahhh, a bubble bath sounds nice right now! The hubs is away on business all week and I love my sweet girls, but I am exhausted . . . 🙂
My day was good, I spent all day in the car driving from Upper Michigan to Chicago back from my vacation and back to the real world lol!
.-= Lydia’s last blog post… What I’m Obsessing Over This Week… =-.
Hee, I just washed my face but I wore Rosebud Salve and Maybelline Full N’Soft all day!
I am interested in anything that refers to a field of flowers. Plus, I am curious about Philosophy’s new anti-aging skin care line. Thanks for your blog.
Hasn’t this California coast weather been WAY TOO HOT???!!!
I too spent the day home in bed not feeling well. feeling better now though 🙂
I had pesto for both lunch and dinner (pesto panini, and then pesto pizza) – omg ever since my bf introduced me to the stuff I’ve been addicted 🙂
haha cheetos for dinner. don’t lie, you’ve all done it!
My grandparents and my five year old cousin came over for dinner- Thai tonight! I’ve missed chatting with them : )
I need a bubble bath!!! I found out I didn’t get a job I interviewed for 🙁
For dinner, I had spinach in pita bread with a little olive oil thrown in 🙂 There’s nothing like it on a warm summer night.
Hi Karen, I’m currently wishing about soaking in a bubble filled tub, in a spa resort getaway, with only greenery surrounding me, somewhere far far away… with not a care in the world.
Fact of reality is that I’m stuck in office doing irritable admin work. A girl can dream 🙂

today i have a very hectic day…i had tones of workload have to be settled…i had scrumptious chicken grill for dinner and indulged tasty white chocolate cake for desert… and that was heaven and save my day!!… 😉
Dinner last night was a Healthy Choice Steamer, sesame chicken, I think? And tonight is yet another heat’n’eat. Sometimes it sucks working full time and taking classes at night… But I’m not going to lie, if I have time I’m totally stopping somewhere to get a baked good.
I am a new mom who just returned back to work after giving birth to my beautiful daughter.
Pork chops, mashed potatoes, green beans.
Tonight, I have no idea what we’ll eat.
I’m turning 40 in less than a week. Can’t wait to go shop for my first pair of SAS shoes.
Today I will work my butt off and return home hoping to relax. Cross my fingers and hope to win this bubble bath haha :]
Had my last exam today, yay! Time to relax now…
I have no idea what we’ll have for dinner. My brother’s going to make his first attempt at cooking dinner. I’ll be happy if he comes up with something edible.

I do love Philosophy’s body wash- it makes my skin look and feel great. I love the smell, too.
I’ve also been using VIVO bar soap (www.vivonaturalproducts.com) which I find to be excellent. It is great. They sell it at Whole Foods, and Sephora.
Today I’m hoping to go back to the gym! Haven’t been in a week and it’s a great break from work 🙂
I’m pregnant and have no energy to get to the gym to just walk!! I need to stay in shape 🙂
Eating some Special K cereal for breakfast….the fruit n yogurt version. Yummy even though I know I should just stick to the regular plain version.
I’m going to the mall today to buy a butt load of make up! 🙂
Just got in to work and am planning on dropping by Lush later this afternoon. I need new soap!
I went for a green & bronze eye look today. MAC’s Rated R on the inner lid w/ UD’s Half Baked on the outer lid. UD’s YDK applied to my crease w/ UD’s Twice Baked to deepen it. I used MAC’s Brule as my highlight & Styli-Style’s 24 Line & Seal eyeliner in Olive on my upper & lower lash line. Yay!!
i love your blog! it always cheers me up- i read it everyday. this is going to sound so weird but i had a dream that i was in the same room as you and we were both getting our nails done. i believe mine were green?
I had fried chicken nuggets for dinner!
Karen! I am so happy to tell you that I’ve finally popped my “high end” makeup cherry lol. Your blog inspired me for a while to look into MAC and some other brands. Yesterday when I was feeling down, I went to this outlet in my town and I bought two things that were there that I’ve wanted for awhile: MAC Ahoy, There! lipstick & Bobbi Brown blush in Sand Pink 1. They are both so pretty and I’m glad I have them in my repertoire.
so right now im wearing yesterday’s makeup..eek laziness.
LOVIN MAC’s “off the page” eye shadow! It’s gold but who says I can’t be a Bond gal at work!

My day is going well. This evening is going to be busy though.

It’s still really hot summer down here in Florida and the thought of taking a bath- or a shower- with the scent of flowers seems wonderful.
I was looking for this scent the other day and could not find it. I must admit there is a good chance that was because I got completely distracted by the new fall scents. I could not resist I Love Candy Corn!
Ummm…Portabello Mushroom Ravioli sounds delicious! I’m just having pizza!
So glad we are going to the lake this weekend because I am getting scary pale!
Another Semester begins this week, I’m slowly on my way to nursing school. It’s the 3rd day of school and my 3 year old came down with a fever last night!! Grrrrr, my poor sweet boy. I had to miss class 🙁 not good. Oh well! Maybe I will be able to take a nice sweet smelling bubble bath! 🙂

I’m wearing my brand new MAC product today from their “Artist” line. It’s a blush called The Perfect Cheek and it’s very pretty.
I have tons of homework, but I’m soooo lazy! I’m just reading beauty blogs on the web!
i´m extremely hungry now, but it´s alreasy past 2am here so I`ll better go to bed!
Well, Karen, I’ve been battling some massive lower back pain (doc thinks it’s a strained muscle), so I went to the chiropractor today. And I learned my kindergartner punched another boy and gave him a black eye because the little boy was picking on a little girl at school, so my little one went to her defense and the other little guy punched him first. So, overall, I’m actually not angry with my son, but can appreciate that he was trying to do the right thing and defend his friend and himself. What a day
I’m job hunting. It’s a real grind in this economy. Pampering really helps at a time like this, so I take baths with epsom salts. Just sharing…
Today, I relaxed in bed, cuddled with my kitty, and drank my favorite green tea. 🙂
Today I got stuck in the freezer at work and spent 20 minutes banging and kicking at the door until a co-worker noticed my absence and went looking for me. I thought I was going to freeze to death in there.
yeah for dinner we had Burger King and it reminded me why i don’t eat fast food very often..blah

i had sauteed shrimp and ampalaya (bitter gourd) last night. really yummy!
hi, karen…this is my first time stumbling upon your blog. i love it (and my kitten, sushi, does too). Anyway i have a proposal for you, something i just started trying. i’ve had this little jar of HIGHLY PIGMENTED concealer from Kevyn Aucoin. the other day i took a tiny dab and mixed it with my kiehls moisturizer (side note: i’m in love with their amozonian clay line for deep cleansing). its a great DIY tinted moisturizer…especially for days when you’re not trying to look makeupped. my boyfriend freaks out when i wear any kind of powder (something about kissing my face), so having the tint gives me coverage and a glow and nobody knows! TRY IT.
Thanks so much for the fabulous giveaway – I would be SO thrilled to win!
