I’ve decided I want a new scent. A “theme” scent. A scent that represents my new outlook on life…sunny & positive. It’s nearly summer here in Florida. Okay, summer’s officially five weeks away, but it’s already feeling like summer and I’m turning over a new leaf.
My new theme scent? Lemon, baby.
It’s fresh and crisp and citrusy. It’s got the whole, “lemons into lemonade” thing going on. Florida just screams lemons and you all know how much I adore the lemon tree in my backyard (which doesn’t bear fruit until winter time…weird.) I’ve been buying lots of lemon scented lotions and candles and body washes and I’m in lemon love.
So I want to share my new obsession and sunny disposition by offering up a travel collection of LemonMade products from Bath & Bodyworks!
Here’s the description from B&BW: Davies Gate LemonMade Lemon Wedge Travel Set:
Take your favorite LemonMade products on the go. This practical, reusable tote is filled with deluxe travel sizes of Bath & Shower Gel, Warming Sweet Cream Body Scrub, Body Lotion, Hand Salve and a Lip Balm SPF 15.
Just post a comment to enter, US residents only…and I’ll throw in a copy of one of my old Temptations, BRAZEN & BURNING, which has this really hot scene with lemons that I’d forgotten about until just this minute. Coooooool.
By all reports, Julie Leto was a sweet child once, somewhat shy, preferring to play quietly in her room making up stories. However, being raised with three brothers in a loud, primarily Italian household did have its influences and Julie discovered her inner tough girl. That’s probably why most of her heroines kick serious butt. Writing sassy heroines has worked out, as she’s sold over forty books to four publishers featuring strong, confident women. Julie lives in Florida with her daughter, a spoiled dachshund, a haughty lynx-point Siamese and a wide range of relatives all within driving distance.

Lemon does make me think summer.

Oh, what a terrific prize…a sunny scent and a wonderful book from the Temptation line (used to be my favorite from Harlequin). Still miss that line, but am enjoying other stories of theirs now.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe week-end.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone. I’m chaperoning three 13 year olds to an all day concert on Sunday – might have to take Monday off to recuperate. This will either bring out my inner child or make me feel everyone one of my 47 years. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Lemons are my ultimate favorite flavor. Love lemon pie. The photo captures it beautifully. Have a wonderful weekend.

Hey Jules, count me in….as soon as I saw the title I thought of What’s Your Pleasure…that was the first book I ever read by you, which led me to the jungle…I believe Slow-burn Colburn played a big role in the developing Devon’s inner bad girl when she gave her a gift basic of lemon scented oils…Jake reaped the rewards of that one…
I made it safely to Vegas last night…was tired though…sorry I missed yesterdayy’s blog, but was on a plane for a longer time than I wanted to be…I will be able to check in every now and then while I am in Vegas…I hope that everyone has a wonderful day…c u later…
Peace and love,

Ah ha! When my friends down near Tampa moved into their new house, they planted a lemon tree and a lime tree. The lime tree has fruit, the lemon doesn’t. I’ll tell them to watch for lemons this winter (if you can call it “winter” in Florida
). And I make a killer Lemon Chicken, Julie. I’ll trade you the recipe for the B&BWorks…. :grin1:

Lemonade always makes me think of summer. Too bad here in the midwest we are going to be having temps in the 50s and rain over the weekend…not too spring or summer like! Thanks for the giveaway!

The pictures of the lemons evoked a scent memory. The picture looked so fresh and…well…lemony!
Do you go to any FL groves? My aunt loves to take people to the one down the block from her house. I think one of the best things about the tour is the smell.

Scenes with lemons? I am trying to wrap my imagination around that one.
Lemon juice has alot of practical uses-look in some of the old time cookbooks and almanacs. I remember my mother saying they used lemon juice to lighten their hair. and it cleans jewelry nicely but remember to wash it off.
Comment
Does that sound/smell lovely?! And hmm… I thought I’d read that one, but I’ll have to go see if I can find it… Happy Friday!!
Comment
I just finished mowing the lawns and made myself a glass of fresh lemonade while I check out my email. Great minds and all that.
