- Body Shop Giveaway Winner! | afrobella | December 17, 2009
I am for sure a nutmeg and vanilla, or any other scent that is warm and cozy!
I think Nutmeg & Vanilla Body Butter best describes my holiday style! This scent is warm, sweet and reminds me of wearing fun comfy sweaters and long socks to keep warm.
The scent also makes you want to be warm, but sexy. I think the nutmeg in it bring out the true sense of a sexy mama!
I am definately a nutmeg and vanilla kinda gal!
Cranberry all the way!!! Nothing says holidays more than Cranberry to me! Such a pretty scent!
Merry Cranberry all the way!
I am totally nutmeg and vanilla…I love eggnog and those two scents together remind me of the holiday season! yummy!

I like the Black Velvet Apricot because it reminds me of the black velvet dresses my sister and I wore on Christmas day as children.
nutmeg and vanilla! yum!
I’m a Vanilla & Nutmeg girl: soft and warm but a little spicy and nutty!
Nutmeg and Vanilla reminds me of sweets baking in the oven; and that is one of my favorite holiday tradtions!
I would say the Cranberry one!
Since I’m a DIVA-in-training, I’ll pick Black Velvet Apricot. It sounds beautiful! Truthfully, all of them sound yummy!
I’m a nutmeg & vanilla bella.. since this is the time of year I’m brewing up a few batches of ponche cream and bringing in the cheer for my family
I’m totally a Black Velvet Apricot…because I love elegance (velvet), but I also have a cheery bright side to me (apricot). Thanks for hosting!
I’m a smooth operator type gal, so I think I’m more like the Black Velvet Apricot, since this scent and name reminds of smoothness!
I love the Body Shop, I hope I can have a chance at winning for this unluckymrsmom~me.
LOL ~ I missed all of your great giveaways and I’m a subscriber to your rss feeds. Shoot!

Although I’d love to say Black Velvet….cause it sounds sexy as all get out….I have to say that Merry Cranberry describes my holiday style because I’m a holiday baby! My birthday is on December 23rd and I feel like I can celebrate for the entire month because it’s MY month. LOL What other scent says CELEBRATION as much as MERRY CRANBERRY!
Nutmeg and vanilla; the vanilla is sweet and soft and the nutmeg adds just a touch of spice; sounds like a holiday with the family to me.
Oh, I love Nutmeg and Vanilla! It delicately represents the holidays spirit! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Definitely Nutmeg & Vanilla. It sums up the holiday feeling: warm, cozy & subtly spicy;)
The Black Velvet Apricot Body Butter sounds yummy!!
I’d say my holiday style is Nutmeg and Vanilla. It’s warm and cozy, which is exactly what I feel like during the holidays bundled up inside with friends and family
Black Velvet Apricot. But i also love scents like Pomegranate, Cranberry and Pine as seasonal holiday scents
It all sounds so wonderful but the black velvet apricot sounds incredibly sensuous!
Nutmeg and vanilla,for certain.
Smells like dessert-if I smell it maybe I won’t eat it!
I’m a Merry Cranberry chica! Although I have smelled them all at the store and they are all wonderful smelling! Thanks for the contest.
I’m going to have to say Nutmeg & Vanilla too. I actually have a candle of that burning right now!
I think the Vanilla and Nutmeg would describe my Christmas style. Comforting with a dash of spiciness
It’s gotta be Nutmeg and Vanilla ‘cuz they’re major ingredients in holiday desserts like yummy pies and drinks like eggnog. MMMMM. Plus they smell great! Remember how on The Beverly Hillbillies, Granny used to put vanilla behind her ear?
Hi Bella!
I’m definitely a nutmeg & vanilla woman. Warm and sensual. That’s me.
Nutmeg and Vanilla — because I am both spicy and sweet!!
I think Nutmeg and Vanilla because I love to cook AND eat….major sweet tooth!! I’ll be making cookies soon and I use vanilla in most of them
Thanks for the chance at these products!
I am definitely a nutmeg and vanilla girl. I like any fragrance that is warm and sweet, just like me!
cranberry. Sweet and tart.
Definitely nutmeg & vanilla…
Definitely Black Velvet Apricot. Very mysterious with a hint of fruit!
Nutmeg & vanilla. Smooth, silky & strong! Nutmeg gives the vanilla a subtle sexiness & that’s me!
Nutmeg and vanilla so I can be a spicy chica!
Happy Holidays!
Black Velvet Apricot Lip Balm cuz when I kiss my man he falls to his knees and belts out
“Black velvet and that little boy’s smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that’ll bring ya to your knees
Black velvet if you please…”
Nutmeg and vanilla definitely!
reminds me of christmas! and i use vanilla body spray all winter… haha only winter. i can’t use it during the summer! that sould be crazyy.
Totally cranberry. The real deal only makes and appearance this time of the year and it makes me feel so festive!
I’ll say the cranberry because I LOVE the scent of cranberries and red just screams Christmas to me. And for the first time in a really long time I’m actually in the Christmas spirit. So Merry Cranberry.
def nutmeg n vanilla..i feel warm
Im more of a Nutmeg & Vanilla person…love those scents…reminds me of my ingredients when im baking!!! Happy Holidays Everyone!!
Cranberry. Tart and fruity haha
Definitely the Cranberry! Cranberries are a staple holiday dessert, garnish, sauce! My family loves it when I make it fresh and I get asked to make it around each winter holiday. The Cranberry scent from The Body Shop is awesome! Whenever I walk past the store in the mall, it’s the first smell my nose instantly picks up.
Black Velvet Apricot for sure.. Sophisticated, sensual, luscious and oh-so decadent with a festive twist. Not to mention it has heart – boasting five community trade ingredients that give a little back to the farmers and co-operatives that work so very hard to bring us their finest ingredients. Packed with Vitamin A, Vitamin E and powerful anti-oxidants, this is definitely the healthiest indulgence you will make this holiday season!
The Black Velvet Apricot… mmm! Warm and luscious.
Well, I’m not a traditional holiday kind of girl, so I have to go with Black Velvet Apricot. Not only am I intrigued by the name, I also love apricots. As I come into my own as a young woman, I realize that I tend to go for the unusual and the unique. I am looking forward to mixing it up for the holidays this year and that scent will definitely come in handy!
I’m Merry Cranberry. Every year my mom and I made cranberry citrus loaf bread. The smell of cranberries around the holidays is the smell around my house (mostly because of that bread). But cranberry in general is the fruit that reminds me of christmas. The deep red color is perfect for the holidays! I hope I win this prize because ALL the scents are wonderful holiday scents!
I absolutely love Merry Cranberry! It’s sweet, tangy, and 100% me! Every year during the holidays, my father and I make a cranberry pie. It’s so delicious…just like all of the holiday scents at the Body Shop this season!
I would say the scent that describes me is the nutmeg vanilla fragrance because it reflects what I love about the holiday season such as sweatshirt weather (or in the case of living in the midwest, jacket scarves and mittens weather) and snuggled up with a good book and a cup of hot chocolate. For some strange reason, I love wearing edible scents in the winter months!
Nutmeg and Vanilla body scrub sounds delicious!
nutmeg and vanilla for me all the way. yey!!!
I’m definitely nutmeg & vanilla!
Definitely a nutmeg and vanilla girl. The scent is so warm and comforting and reminds me of the holidays even when its the middle of summer ^_^
I’m definitely a Merry Cranberry girl- red is my color, especially during the holidays.
I’m all about the black velvet apricot. All of them sound delish though. I hope I win!
Xoxo
I’m going to have to join the majority and say Nutmeg Vanilla describes me best. A little bit sweet and a little bit spicy!! Love The Body Shop!!!
I’m a nutmeg & vanilla gal! I love Vanilla, it is the perfect mix of sweet and sexy (like me lol)
MMMM GOOD, MY MANFRIEND LOVES COOKIES, SO IF I SMELL LIKE NUTMEG AND VANILLA- I WILL CERTAINLY BE LOVED. YES, GREAT IDEA. I AM GAME!!!!!!
I am a Cranberry bella! Love craisins for their sweetness and sometimes I like to think I’m sweet lol :0)

I would have to say Nutmeg & Vanilla because vanilla is one of my favorite scents.
Cranberry best describes me. Its the best in the winter months.
Nutmeg and vanilla! I can smell it!
It’s winter, it’s time for coziness and nothing makes me feel cozier than a cuddle-up scent. So, for me, Nutmeg and Vanilla fills the bill!
Anything that smells of vanilla is perfect for me for the holidays as it makes me feel warm and cozy.
Nutmeg and vanilla best describe my holiday style.
Its like a nice warm loving feeling. Relaxation, warmth and coziness. It feels safe. Just sitting there taking in the fragrance makes me happy in the sense that the fragrance just gives me comfort, especially during the holidays, it changes the whole ambiance of the room
I’m a nutmeg and vanilla kind of girl. I always use nutmeg when I make french toast on cold, winter mornings and I have a feeling this year will be another white Christmas in WA.
That Black Velvet Apricot body Butter sounds so awesome! I love any kind of body butter for my eczema prone skin.
Nutmeg and Vanilla definitely describes my holiday style – it’s warm and inviting. Gives a nice aura without being overwhelming!
I am definitely a Merry Cranberry chica! Cranberry scents just scream “holidays!!!” to me. It’s festive, tart, and remind me of good times with friends and family.
I think the fact that I love to bake Christmas cookies makes me a Nutmeg and Vanilla Mama! Thanks for the giveaway!
Though I haven’t yet tried the Nutmeg and Vanilla scent, I’m sure I’ll love it. I love the scent of vanilla and love most spices, and this combination makes me think of one of my favorite cookies that I make each year for the holidays – snickerdoodles!
Thanks for the giveaway!
The fragrance that best describes my holiday style, is Merry Cranberry.
That’s because I too am sweet and fruity just like this delicious seasonal scent.
It has to be the Black Velvet Apricot. So luxurious!!!!
I love nutmeg and vanilla! I just love smelling like baked goods and having everyone think I’m sneaking cookies around in my purse all day. AND!!– it’s calorie free to smell cookies all day long!
I’m a Merry Cranberry chica!
I love citrus scents, perhaps cause I live in Florida? So I am most definitely a Black Velvet Apricot girl. It smells heavenly! Not really Christmasy, but who cares. But when I feel like smell warm and cozy, their Nutmeg and Vanilla scent is the way to go! That really makes me think of the holidays!
I would be a vanilla and nutmeg mama. I love the smell of vanilla. It’s warm and cozy. Comfortable like home. And the nutmeg adds the right amount of spice. Very much like me.
definitely a black velvet apricot.
Velvet is warm and smooth but can cause chaffing if rubbed the wrong way.
Apricot, smells nice, is sweet but has a little bit of tangyness to it which lets you know dont let the smooth taste fool you.
it describes me perfectly.
LOL
I would say that I’m a nutmeg and vanilla mama because I’m always baking and the warm smell of delicious vanilla is often present when baking cookies and whatnot. Cozy, warm, sugary, DELICIOUS!
Most definitely nutmeg and vanilla. It symbolizes warmth and I am definitely that!
My favorite Body Shop holiday scent is Merry Cranberry…..it smells so good!
Cranberry has been my favorite holiday scent for years; I only wish they’d release it more often than just once a year.
This is a hard one b/c I love fruity scents but since you did say “holiday style”, I have to go with nutmeg and vanilla. Nutmeg makes me think of sweet spiciness in desserts and my family and vanilla b/c of the sweet innocence of children that is seen in their eyes on Christmas.
which fragrance
best describes your holiday style?
I love Merry Cranberry
What makes you a Merry Cranberry chica, a Black Velvet Apricot

I think I am a merry cranberry because I am usually happy and in a good mood!!
Nutmeg & Vanilla for me! 2 of the ingredients in my favorite recipe for this time of the year, Guinness Gingerbread. I have a foolproof recipe if you want it.
Thanks for all of the hard work that goes into your blog!
I’d have to pick Nutmeg & Vanilla. It sounds like a warm, sweet scent that’s perfect for this time of year~
Mm. I’d have to say “Merry Cranberry”! One, because the name itself is kind of happiness-inducing, and it sounds really cheerful–something that I try to display most of the time! And also, because the scent is really sweet and fruity at the same time, heh!
Thanks for hosting the giveaway

Definitely the nutmeg and vanilla for me. Those scents bring sweet holiday memories.

I’d like to breathe through a mask of Merry Cranberry every day
.

Are you kidding me? Who doesnt want to be enveloped in black velvet? I love the apricot smell. ( = Even when apricots are dried, theyre juicy. We love moisture…
I pick Black Velvet Apricot because velvet sounds so plush, comfy and warm – so necessary during the chilly holiday season. Plus it sounds like such a unique blend- something I strive to do with my style.
I say the Nutmeg & Vanilla body butter best describes my style, mostly because it remind me of warmth, and that’s exactly my style for this Chicago winter….to stay warm! So that means to dress in layers, and nothing really special. especially since it’s only 1 degree outside today lol
Black Velvet Apricot is mt style Sexy yet modest.Idk, apricot reminds me of modest.

I think the subtle richness of cranberry, with a bit of zest, is perfect for me!

The black velvet and apricot lip balm spoke to me. The apricot is sweet with a slight bit of tart to it. As am I… However, I long to be as smooth and rare as black velvet.
