Happy Time

When I visited my friend in Sweden a few years ago she had the most enlivening body wash in her guest bathroom. It was called Happy Time, made by Nivea. The scent of orange blossom filled the steamy shower and I used it as much as I could without being a greedy, over-using house guest. With the exchange rate it would have been very expensive for me to buy even the smallest bottle, so I said "Hej da" to the Happy Time wash and returned to the various bottles of body wash stacked
up in my bathroom at home.

To my joy she sent me a bottle of it for my birthday. I used it sparingly since I never expected it to become available on the shelves of US stores. BUT THEN!....one day I was grocery shopping and beckoning me at the end of an isle was a display of "New!" Nivea products. I rushed over to find that Nivea was now marketing the wash in the US under a different name,"Touch of Happiness" along with it's other family members, "Touch of Smoothness" and "Touch of Bliss". I grabbed the "Happiness" and decided to also try the "Smoothness", which is also wonderful with it's clean scent. I've been enjoying both for months now and even saw more scents in this line appear on the shelves over time.

I guess that I alone, could not keep the sale of these products alive bc sadly I can no longer find them in stores....at least the ones I've shopped in. You can however, purchase items from this Nivea line on Amazon, drugstore.com, and likely other similar online sites. If staying clean is one of your goals for 2010 (and I hope every year) and you need something invigorating and moisturizing for your morning shower routine, seek out one of these washes!
