He was also nibbling her face, chewing on fingers and knocked out an earring! (he was clearly hungry)

But my favorite thing was the Totes McGoats DIY goats milk soap kit! The promo video they put together was priceless!

Very funny April Fools... Last year it was wigs for cats! lol

Incidentally for those of you that love the scent of the Apricot/honeyed tea; Vera Wang's Embrace in the Green Tea/Pear is VERY similar! Smells warm and wonderul

My bounty boxes arrived last night. Extremely fast (UPS) shipping considering my order was placed on Saturday.

I do love the Apricot Green Tea scent but must admit I wish the body cream had a little more oomph. It's softly scented, perhaps a little too soft for my preference. Somewhat disappointing. Not a huge deal breaker, just my thoughts for those who may be interested.

@Andreatoo Thanks for mentioning the Vera Wang's Embrace. I enjoy anything green tea and am always interested in finding a true and pleasing scent. Warm and wonderful sure sounds inviting. Is it long lasting?I'll definitely have to check this one out!

Ladies, it's been an hour since my original post and I want to update and add that this Apricot Green Tea body cream fragrance has 'bloomed.' The scent has opened up making it more detectable and delectable. I can happily report my pleasure in this development. Yummy and good

@rochelleS

Thanks for the great review - I'm looking forward to mine even more now! It should arrive tomorrow.

@willdob3 Have you tried this Apricot Green Tea in any of products before?

It's now 5+ hours since I applied the body cream and its lovely. A hint of tart apricot cloaked in soothing zen green tea. It's both perky and warm. Very yin yang. I hope you love it!

I'm off this afternoon so I was home when my Beekman goodies arrived. At first sniff, I think I'll really like the White Water shower gel. The Sweet Grass lip balm smells wonderful - can't wait for the bounty box with this scent!

The Apricot & Honey tea hand cream & body butter have very little scent to them at all. So little that I can't name anything I smell in them. Kind of like when products you buy lose their scent because they are old. I hope the soap has more scent to it.

@rochelleS - No, I hadn't tried this scent before. I wish I had your nose; I smell almost nothing from this scent. Not enough to identify anything.

@willdob3 That's exactly what happened to me. Barely any scent then it started to develop or bloom. Hopefully it'll do the same on you. Crossin' my fingers for ya!

Sadly, the body butter & hand cream never developed any noticeable scent for me. I've been using the body butter every day & it is pretty much scent-free. It moisturizes nicely though.

I hope the soap has a bit more scent because I was hoping to give a couple bars as gifts and I won't if they don't smell good.

I do like the lip balm.
