Degree Women Natureffects Countdown to Spring

Degree is introducing a new nature-inspired collection for Degree Women -- Natureffects. I am excited to be one of the bloggers chosen by Degree Women to participate in a unique program designed to stimulate the senses for the few weeks as a countdown to spring. I am soooo ready for spring! This has been a particularly cold winter here in Minnesota. I must say, however, that I am glad to no longer live in the NYC area since they have been dumped on with snow and are expecting another 20 inches or so in the next two days.

Anyway, I digress. Spring should be here soon and with it the opportunity to get outside and enjoy it. Here is a fun tidbit from Degree: 40% of women have called in sick just to be able go get outside! And nearly one in four women say the outdoors makes them feel more energized. I am one of that group of women!

Last week, as a part of Degree's countdown to spring, I received a yummy Orange Olive Oil Cake. I really wish that I would have taken a picture of it to share with you, but it was sooo good that I gobbled it down. (Well, I did share a little with my Mom and Sister who were lucky enough to have stopped over.) The cake was inspired by two scents in the Degree Women Natureffects collection: olive leaf & pink pepper and orange flower & cranberry. Receiving the surprise package was fun and I am anxious to see which of my senses they stimulate next!
