Summer is just about here, and what better way to celebrate than to pamper yourself with something soothing and fun? Today I’m giving away a $25.00 e-Gift Certificate to Bath & Body Works online so you can buy yourself a relaxing spa treatment of your choice! (Gift certificate will be sent to winner’s email address). Winner will also recieve their choice of autographed book from my booklist (sorry, WILD FOR HIM isn’t one of them! You’re going to have to wait a week and a half for that one to hit bookstores! 
).
All you have to do to enter today’s contest is post a comment below, then check back on Sunday to see if you’re this week’s winner!
And just for fun . . . what’s your very favorite thing from Bath & Body Works? I absolutely love their plug-in Wallflower scents in Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin (makes your whole house smell so yummy!), their anti-bacterial hand soap in Cucumber Melon, and their shower gel in Warm Vanilla Sugar. Talk about a mixed bag of scents!

Janelle Denison finds it hard to believe that it’s been nearly 25 years since she first started writing romance novels. At first, it was a way to pass idle time while her husband worked swing shift, but before long it became an obsession to get published. Luckily, she kept at it (it took her over 5 years to get that first book published!) and is now a Waldenbooks, Barnes & Noble, and USA Today Bestselling author! Now, after selling over 45 plus novels, she finds that her Plotmonkey pals help to keep her stories fresh and unique, and she can’t imagine writing a story without their input. Janelle lives in Oregon with her husband, Don, along with two teenage daughters that keep life interesting.

Comment
Unfortunately, I can’t use many of their products because I have allergies, but my daughter loooooves that store, so it would be a great gift for her – you know, just because. And I wouldn’t mind getting another book if I won. You can never have too many books.
Comment
Happy Friday! btw I saw the Indy movie last night. I’m sorry, but I didn’t like it. That’s all I’m going to say.
My fave B&B was the night-blooming jasmine lotion, but they don’t make it anymore (I did stock up though). Now I like their sweatpea and the cherry blossom lotions.
Comment
Wow, who doesn’t love Bath & Body Works! Of course, the biggest problem is deciding on what you want to buy!
Comment
I love their Breathe products – high lather and soap-free. Very good for my dry skin.
Have a great weekend everyone!
Comment
I like the Japanese Cherry Blossom.
Comment
So many wonderful scents. One is like a kid in a candy store when you are in B & BW, as well as deciding on a book on the book list. Have a great (but safe) Memorial Day week-end.
Comment
TGIF
Also, Happy Memorial Day to everyone 
I love anything scented with vanilla or apple cinnamon.
Comment
I love the wallflowers too. I have them in a lot of different scents depending on my mood and where they are in the house. And I love the new pineapple scent too.
Have a good weekend everyone. Drive carefully if you can actually afford to drive anywhere this weekend.
Comment
Great prize. I love Bath & Body Works. My favorites are the body cream and the hand soap in Warm Vanilla Sugar.
Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment
I like the cucumber melon and the passion fruit
HOpe everyone has a great weekend.
Comment
I’m a flavor whore – I never love just one!
Comment
B&BW is one of my favorite stores ever! :wub:
Happy Friday everyone!
Comment
The vanilla shower gel is my favorite and they stopped carrying Burt’s Bees which was another favorite of mine.
Comment
I like them all. It smells so good when you walk in there.
Comment
Hi! Happy Friday everyone. Great gift!!! My fave things at Bath and Body works has always been the sweet pea bath gel, wallflowers, and lotions.
Have a great weekend everyone.
:wave:
Comment
Count me in for your contest. My favorite scent is Enchanted Orchid (it’s new) Lotion. I love the scent and it is so freshing after my shower.
BTW I ordered Wild for Him from B & N and they say that it has already shipped. YAHOOO. Happy Memorial Day.
Comment
What a great prize! Delightful and practical. I love everything in the store. Have a wonderful weekend.
Comment
I’ve got lots of different scents from Bath & Body Works, but my current fave is Wild Honeysuckle.
Comment
I love the Honeysuckle scented lotion and bath gel :flower4you:
It smells just like the honeysuckle vines I have growing on my fence.
Enjoy your weekend :flower4you:
Comment
Wallflowers are the best thing EVER!
My favorite scents are Warm Vanilla Sugar, Wild Honeysuckle, and Gardenia. And I love the Bigelow tinted lip balms!
Comment
B&BW got rid of one of my fave scents, Cucumber melon, a few years ago and I stopped going. Then, a friend had me try one of the hand sanitizers and I loved it.
I’ve discovered that some of the scents smell great as soap or anti-bac but not as lotion or body soap. The sweet pea and pomegranate smell great as anti-bac gels! The last time they were on sale, I grabbed a few. I know I look like a snoot mom when I bring them out instead of Purel, but, it gives me a little happy to use them.
Comment
I love their Lip gloss, they taste good and last longer than other brands.
:banana:
I can’t wait to read “WILD FOR HIM ”
Have a great weekend everyone!
Comment
I love anything with lemon in it. It refreshes the mind as well as the body.
Have a great day!

Anything in Cucumber Melon!
Comment
My husband loves their (now discontinued) men’s soaps with loofahs…I love their shampoos/conditioners scented with sweet pea and moonlight path; I also love their TRUE BLUE SPA line (especially their Tahiti Sweetie, manicure in a minute and their lava story…now discontinued
). Obviously, I should own stock in B and B W.
Comment
I love bath and body works. One of my favorite scents has always been plumeria.
Comment
I have allergies so can’t use, but I have a neighbor who absolutely loves their products!
Comment
I love their pineapple hand soap. Opened a new container of it this morning. I also use their country apple body butter on a regular basis.
Comment
I love anything strawberry. Hope everyone enjoys this 1st unofficial weekend of summer! Remember to use suntan lotion!
Comment
I think most of the bath scents I’ve gotten from them are usually flower scents. :)

Good Morning Everyone!
The thing I love about Bath and Bodyworks is that it was the first place that I found Burt’s Bees LipBalm which I now cannot live without.
Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone.
Comment
I love Moonlight Path. That is my absolute favorite scent. Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day and we should all take the time to remember what this holiday is all about.

Sun-ripened raspberry. I loved that scent. Unfortunately they have discontinued it.
Great prize! Have a great weekend everyone.
Comment
Japanese Cherry Blossom is my favorite. I wear it as perfume all the time and get tons of compliments off of it and wanting to know what is and where I got it.
Black rasberry vanilla hand lotion, it smells great, feels great. Leaves your hands feeling smooth and nice not oily.
Comment
Oooh it has been awhile since I have shopped there! My favorite scent is the Raspberry… Oh No, Kelly H. said they discontinued it!!! Boo Hoo!!!
Guess I will have to find a new fav scent!!!
Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy Memorial Day!!! :flower4you:

They have these new hand glove things that heat up with water. So relaxing. I love them! I buy my Wexler facial products from there too. Thanks for the giveaway!
Comment
Happy Friday, everyone! I’ve been reading through everyone’s comments, and don’t you just HATE when a store stops carrying your favorite product that you’ve been buying for YEARS? :cursing:
Thank you, Patty L, for ordering WILD FOR HIM (and anyone else who has, too!).

B&BW to me is like Macy’s to other women. I always receive gift cards and they burn a hole in pocket until used. I absolutely LOVE the Exotic Coconut. Shower gel & lotion in that particular scent are found in bulk in my bathroom. And the big candle (in the red jar) Vanilla Coconut? Oh lord…. I think I bought 3 last week. It calms me…and perfect with a good book.
I also love the Irresistible Apple and the one they have during the summer, Frozen Daquiri.
Have a great MDW, everyone!
Comment
I am all about the warm vanilla sugar. I once spent my entire paycheck on a shopping spree to Bath and Body works. lol
Comment
The gorgeous scents…..and luxury products of course.
Comment
I like their orange ginger energizing hand soap and the lip balms
Comment
They have so many good ones. I really love the Shea Butter body wash and fresh water cucumber!!
Comment
Great prize Janelle! I love Bath & Body Works stuff. My favorites are the Sweet Pea foaming hand soap and the entire line of Twisted Peppermint products that come out at Christmas. I stock up at the holidays and then use it in the summer so I can smell like a candy cane in July!
Have a great long weekend everyone!!
Comment
Comment
I love the Cinaminbun smell. I could eat that stuff.
Comment
I am addicted to Cherry Blossom!!! And Moonlight Path is another favorite!
Comment
I look forward to reading Wilde for Him. :readdabook:
Comment
I love the antibacterial hand soap in just about any scent but I also love the hand cream. It seems to work better and be less “sticky” than a lot of other hand creams again in any scent.
Comment
I love the warm vanilla sugar. Great prize, Janelle!
Have a great weekend everyone. :wave:
Comment
Any of their yummy handsoaps–they’re convenient and look so pretty in the little pump containers! Thanks for the fun, Janelle, and happy Friday, everyone!
Comment
I love there Cucumber Melon body spray.
Comment
I love the Cool Cucumber foaming handsoap. I also love their Moonlight Path body spray.
Comment
Oh my…it’s been years since I’ve shopped at Bath and Body Works and I miss it so much. I always got the Cucumber Melon body spray. Geez…I used to shop there everytime I went to the mall. Ah…memories :) I just can’t seem to bring myself to splurge on myself since I had my boys. There’s always something they need :)
Comment
Happy Friday! Another fantastic giveaway prize package! Bath and Body Works is a wonderful place. I, too, like their Wallflowers Diffusers. I like the
“Cinnamon and Clover Buds” scent. Please enter me in your delightful drawing. Enjoy the holiday weekend…..Cindi
Comment
The sun ripened raspberry is ooooh so yummy! :lips:
Comment
I love the lavender/vanilla everything! I have the pillow spray, bath salts, massage oil, body soap, lotion… :giggle: But I also like the cucumber/melon combination and have that in bubble bath and soap.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!
Comment
I love their mango & manderine orange hand lotion. yum! :flower4you:
Comment
I don’t think I have a favorite scent. I like them all. And what better way to relax on a holiday than with something wonderful from Bath & Body. Way to go Janelle!!!
Comment
Everything from there is always nice – thanks for the chance to win.
Comment
I like the Sweet Pea and the Orange Blossom fragrances from there. Of course, I am open to using any oher fragrances. Great prize
Comment
Hm… I think their pineapple scents are my favorite. When they discontinued Iced Pineapple I was so sad- and stocked up! Now years later, pineapple is back! I also like sweet pea, warm vanilla sugar, their pomegranite and passion fruit smells… but I bought a lot of their soaps – and unfortunately, it’s too… floral or sweet or something – the small is too strong well after washing your hands and I don’t like that
. I love their antibacterial gels and sprays. Haven’t tried the plug ins :)
Comment
WONDERFUL PRIZE. I LIKE ANYTHING WITH CINNAMON–INCLUDING
USING CINNAMON ON THINGS THAT I EAT, ETC. CINNAMON IS GOOD
FOR ANYONE TO EAT AND HELPS YOUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM. SO I
SUGGEST THAT YOU ALL GET SOME.
HAVE A GOOD HOLIDAY WEEKEND, AND DRIVE CAREFULLY IF YOU ARE
OUT ON THE ROAD.

I adore the peppermint lotion, but it’s only available during holiday season.
The wallflowers/scentports are a lifesaver. My dorm had a peculiar odor, and everyone always wondered why my roomie and I had such a great-smelling room. ^_~

Are any of the Plot Monkeys on Gather.com? It is a great place to publicize your work and network with lots of other writers, published and almost published.
Thanks for the opportunity to say hello to you all. Have a great day!
