One of the most important steps in staying healthy is regularly washing your hands. And while any old antibacterial soap can get the job done, what fun is that!?! I used to keep a regular bottle of mass market hand soap in all 3 bathrooms and on the kitchen sink. These bottles would last forever, which I thought was a good thing; what a bargain, right!?! Not so much... It wasn't until I switched them out for a few bottles of yummy smelling soaps from BBW that I realized the reason the soap was lasting so long was because nobody was using it! What's the point of hand soap if your kids are going to be running around with grimey, nasty, germy, disgusting {I shudder to think of the condition of their little mitts prior to my "ah ha" moment} hands? I took advantage of one of Bath & Body Works' ever present, always awesome deals {right now the promotion is mix and match,  4 for $15 or 6 for $20} and stocked the house with various deliciously delightful scents and effectively cleansing formulas. All of a sudden, all of the girls  were looking for any excuse to wash their hands {but especially Kenzie...she is particularly zealous about washing her hands-we have to hide the soap and shut the bathroom door to stop her}!

Bath & Body Works Bella Italy Antibacterial Soaps in Sicilian Lemon, Citrus Fig and Bella Flora

I've smelled all six scents {and received a few to review} in the Bella Italy collection and they are all absolutely swoon-worthy! I really appreciate that there is not only a variety of scents, but also a variety of formulas: a gentle foaming hand soap {that my girls love and I'll take anything that encourages them to wash their hands more}, a deep cleansing hand soap {perfect to keep in the kitchen}, and now a moisturizing hand lotion as well {with an exclusive blend of moisturizing honey, coconut milk and olive fruit extracts to nourish and soften skin and enhanced with silk proteins for intense hydration to leave hands feeling moisturized and looking younger}.

These soaps {and many others} retail for $5.50 a piece {or you can stock up like I did and save $} and can be found exclusively at Bath & Body Works stores and bathandbodyworks.com. Trust me, it's a small price to pay to ensure that your little ones {and big ones too} keep their hands clean, germ free, and delectably fragrant! Until next time...
