When Girlawhirl travels to Asia, she always tries to squeeze in some sort of a beauty treatment, a facial, body scrub or some sort of massage. After traveling so far, and for so long, her body and her spirit can always use a little TLC
And while she loves the services she treats herself to on the road, theres no way she can afford to indulge as frequently at home. A new line of body products is bringing the Asian spa experience to bathrooms across America, and Girlawhirls bathroom is already teeming with the little sugar palm wooden caps that come on all the bottles. Called Akhassa, the products are designed with coordinating scents, which work together to create the mood and experience that Girlawhirls after. If she needs to get up and out in the morning, she turns to the Sweet Orange, Bergamot, Tangerine, Holy Basil, Galangal and Vetiver scented products that make up the Ignite line. For sculpting and toning benefits, theres Lemongrass, Black Pepper, Ginger, Peppermint, Tamarind and Cinnamon found in the Define products.
Theres also Retreat and Nurture scent combinations along with a special treatment line for feet and hair called Ritual that really does take Girlawhirl back to some of her favorite spas.
Its all luxurious, but Girlawhirl is hooked on the shower creams. Somewhere between a shower gel and a moisturizer, rubbed on and then rinsed off in the shower, she swears they turn her tiny bathroom into a bigger brighter place. And it gets even better when she follows her shower with a moisturizing lotion or body oil.
Girlawhirl found her Akhassa products online at Akhassa.com
