Grapefruit connection (It's still my birthday!)

Instant Karma: Invite the niece and nephew over preemptively = Gift arrives from Body Shop!
Background: Last week, I was on a quest for my super-effective Kiss My Face Liquid Rock Peaceful Patchouli deodorant. Hy-Vee isn't carrying it and neither is the closest health food store. Knowing the dangers of stinking out everyone I meet, I went ahead and purchased a new kind (maybe this one will keep the onions away for 12 hours!) made from Grapefruit and Wild Ginger. Boy Howdy! It sure smells good, until overtaken by ME, that is :( So I slather it on every six hours to renew the freshness of my pits!
Yesterday, Hayden was happily plugging away at his new Guild Wars game. He asked if Brittany could come over to revel in it and I said, YES! I called to arrange a pick up (of both Bryce and Brit) and we talked about inviting them to Spezia's for dinner. I could feed them without the usual resentment and grumbling of feeding other people's kids (tytytyty Robin!), this time would be a joyful event. We were laughing and talking in the car as we pulled up to our house at the exact moment the UPS truck pulled up with a package for ME! ♥ I laughed and laughed as I opened the package to find a "summer gift package" of their, yep you guessed it, Pink Grapefruit scented line!! As I slather myself in the body butter, I'm giggling Now my whole body smells like my pits!! sans onions thankfully! I was excited to shower for the first time in a loooong time ;) just to try out the PG body wash! My excitement, I thought, peaked there, I was so giddy and happy, just dancing around... I had to know who send this delight my way... I pull out the packing slip only to discover an incredibly generous gift card attached - Oh wait! There's more to enjoy?? Oh yeah! 10 minutes on line this morning and it's gone! On it's way is yet another box of amazing goodness, including a Satsuma kit (yay Mitchard and Hanners) complete with an oil infuser thingie to make my whole world smell like Satsuma! (for literary reference, check out HP6, Mr. Weasley is peeling one at the Christmas dinner) and another gift package of Pink Grapefruit schtuff! Deb, your gift just keeps on giving! Thank you so much ♥ ♥ ♥ It's an amazing thing to be glad you were born and even more amazing to realize others are too! Namaste, baby, Namaste...
