In my house we always keep a big bottle of lotion on a table in our living room, we all suffer from extra dry skin and my daughter has a very mild case of eczema that comes up behind her ears in the summer and winter it comes up on her back, legs, and sometimes get to her face. Anyways, I ALWAYS keep lotion in the livingroom because I am constantly saying "lotion up" I have some that I buy from another company but was thinking about getting some from Melissa, it would be the community lotion for the living room so I need a scent that is good for the whole family and occasional guest. I still want it to smell good though, I thought about BTWP but I wasn't crazy about it in wax form is it better in B&B what do you guys think? I also thought about Oatmeal, milk, and honey but just read two reviews that said it smelled like spoiled milk
Also while I am doing this I thought I would ask, I am trying to get ready for the sniff sniff season, and with everybody getting sick I was planning on getting maybe a shower fizz and wanted a scent that would kinda open the sinuses. Thanks in advance for the help.

Oatmeal, Milk, And Honey didn't smell like spoiled milk to me personally but it wasn't a favorite either. To me it just smelt like your generic run of the mill oatmeal milk and honey lotion that you can get anywhere. I'm not a big fan of BTWP, don't know why just not a scent I'm crazy over though I don't mind it. Depending on your family's preferences you could try like a mild vanilla scent like Snow Taffy or a mildly sweet one like Sugar Kisses or a clean scent like Whistlin Dixie though I biased on that last one cuz it is one of my favs. As for shower fizzies I would recommend either Sweet Snow which is just mint with vanilla or Eucalyptus And Spearmint. I haven't tried EAS yet, but I think Lisa bought some in that form for sick purposes as well. You will have to ask her how they worked since I haven't tried any of the fizzies yet. But Sweet Snow is my "sick" scent. Whenever I'm sick I break out either a tart or the 8oz candle I have of it and I find it helps me.

Thanks cayla, I am going to order Whistlin Dixie in a SS because it has Dixie in it and Alabama is The Home of Dixie. I thought about Lime Crystal Kisses because it has the lemon lime smell, which is a "common" scent and should be ok for everybody but hope it wouldn't be too sweet for my husband, (he said please don't get something too foo foo) I will get with Lisa, thanks again Cayla.

I ordered the shower fizzies in the scent Eucalyptus & Spearmint. I have used the fizzies once, one fizzy in the shower. This scent wasn't quite as strong as I had thought it would be and maybe using two at a time would be stronger. I am also thinking that a scent with peppermint instead of spearmint might have more of the sinus opening properties I was hoping for.
I personally like Cucumber Lime Twist over Lime Crystal Kisses. Green Tea & Willow might be a nice scent for the whole family. I have not tried many scents in bath and body so I would definitely suggest getting a scent or soap shot first before getting it in a lotion. Even though Butt Naked (it is very hard to not giggle at the name) is in the earthy category, I find it to be more of a lightly citrus clean scent. Another option is ordering the lotion unscented. Here are a few more scents that may be suitable for the whole family....(in no particular order) Cucumber Cantaloupe Blackberry Sage Coconut Lemongrass Fizzy Pop Peace Stress Relief Lemon Vanilla Mermaid Kiss Sea Salt & Rice Flower ( I bought this one for my mother for Christmas) Bergamont & Herbal Mint Pink & Lime
I am sure there are others but these are the ones that I have tried in wax form at least.

I have Green Tea & Willow on my next to order list I remember you wrote about it on another thread somewhere and I wrote it down based on what you said lol. So I am going to see what that smells like and it will either be that or Cucumber Lime Twist. I really really really like Peace but my mom has kinda burned me out on it no pun intended lol.. She has all the other ss under the tree so she has been melting nothing but peace since October. I like it but ready for a change. She has an unhealthy love for peace that is all she wants, I asked her the other day what she wanted in the next order and she said nothing but peace. Keeping my fingers crossed we get the rental ready soon. Thanks agian Lisa

Fingers crossed for the rental! I love Peace (a healthy love lol) but I also like to melt something new everyday. I use CBV lotion on my body but still use Curel on my hands and feet. When I can order again I will be ordering more lotion. Of course I should start planning what scent now because I love too many to narrow it down.

Peace has been a long time favorite of the board, but for some reason it keeps missing my orders list lol.

Melissa does have an "Unscented" option if you just can't think of one you all could agree on. Also, Fizzy Pop is usually loved by everyone. BTWP is really good in B&B, but I also like it in wax so I may not be the most reliable lol. Maybe something like Fruit Loops or Captain Crunch Berries, lots of people like those because lots of people like to eat the cereals haha. And finally I think Vanilla is always a good fall back. Vanilla sugar is pretty mellow and not offensive to most noses
