Mother’s Day 2009: Coco Zen

What woman doesn’t like chocolate?  Or going to the spa?  Or pretty, fun pampering products for the face and body?  I like them all, (as you can tell from my Mother’s Day gift ideas this month) and one company was smart enough to combine the two to create organic, Fair Trade Certified body treats that are good enough to eat (but don’t!).  Chocolate, particularly dark chocolate, possesses antioxidants and may lower blood pressure and your risk for heart disease (WebMD).  Coco-Zen is THE place to shop for all things chocolate, edible or not!

Have you ever dreamed about bathing in chocolate?  I have (c’mon now…let’s just lay it all out there!).  The Spa At The Hotel Hershey is on my top ten list of places I want to see in my life.  But for now, I’m content to indulge in the Chocolate Brownies Salt Scrub I received from Coco-Zen.  I love scrubs…I love the way they make my skin super soft.  I like the feeling of exfoliating dry, dead skin.  It makes my skin feel rejuvenated.  The Chocolate Salt Scrub contains organic almond oil and organic aloe vera to soften skin while mineral-rich dead sea salts revitalize skin and remove toxins from the body and relax sore muscles.  And if that wasn’t enough…the smell of cocoa makes me crave dark chocolate and helps relax me!  I still want that chocolate bath!

I am always looking for all-natural, eco-friendly alternatives to products and I appreciate the company’s use of organic, Fair Trade ingredients.  The Chocolate Scrub is nicely complimented by the Chocolate Lotion and Chocolate Soap.  A 4 ounce jar of Chocolate Salt Scrub retails for $14.50 and you can choose from Chocolate Brownies, Chocolate Chai Spice, Chocolate Cappuccino, Chocolate Covered Coconut, Chocolate Dipped Strawberries, Chocolate Mint Bliss, and Chocolate Orange Blossom (I told you how tempting they are to consume!)  The company also puts together some amazing body gift sets, perfect for Mother’s Day.  Oh…and of course they have an entire chocolate shop with amazing edible truffles!
