With all the talk of Swine flu, most of us mommies are worried about warding of sickness and germs.
The number one way to prevent the spread of illness is frequent, thorough hand washing! According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the “first and most important” way is to “wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are also effective.”
Lucky for my family I love Bath & Body Works Foaming Anti-Bacterial Hand Soap. I have one at the kitchen sink and one in each bathroom. It comes in many delicious scents. Some of our favorites are, Warm Vanilla Sugar, Sweet Pea, Black Raspberry Vanilla. Right now we are using some of their new scents, Dancing Waters, Rainkissed Leaves and Kitchen Lemon .
This soap looks like a liquid in it’s see thru bottle. When you press the pump dispenser, it comes out as a luscious lightly scented gentle foam that leaves a wonderful fragrance on your hands without drying them out, all while killing 99.9% of germs.
The Gentle Foaming Hand Soaps are priced at $5 each, but you can often find them on sale 3 for $10 or 5 for $15. If you’re on Bath & Body Works mailing list, they often have coupons for a free Anit-Bacterial item with purchase!
Tip: To get even more out of my bottles, when my soap is about 1/3-1/2 gone, I add water to the bottle. The soap still foams, cleans and smells great and you get more for your money by diluting it!
I’m a big fan of Bath and Body Works, and this is one of my all time favorites from their store. I always go in and stock up when they’re having a good sale on them! - Just remember, if your making your purchase at the mall…. hit this store at the END of your shopping day – a bag full of 10 bottles of hand soap gets a little heavy……I’m just sayin….

I love these soaps. They have a new scent called Midnight Walk or somethign that I absolutely adore. I have the conditioner, shampoo, body wash and foaming hand soap in that fragrance.
oooh, I have seen that scent, I’ll have to check it out next time I go!!
I love this stuff. Got hooked on it after my aunt started putting a bottle in her bathroom. It cleans without making my hands feel yucky and smells wonderful. Plus I swear that there has been less sharing of the germs during large holiday family get-togethers at her house. Princess LOVES the peppermint one I got last year and will wash her hands every. single. time. she uses the potty.
Plus, this is one of my go-to Christmas presents for moms with kids.
