I am sleeping in Yardley's lavender... (Photos)

"Considering I'm in England, let's say I am sleeping in Yardley's lavender..." A very memorable quote from the iconic Ms. Marilyn Monroe.

This week I was lucky enough to see what all the fuss is about this brand. This London-based company just recently launched their new collection of Skin Indulgence Bath & Shower items... a few of which I can speak on first-hand!

Their method is simple -- gentle ingredients, luxurious scents, and a proven quality for years!

I am a big bar soap fan! Body wash just seems to dry out my skin and in case you haven't heard -- the BEST anti-aging preventative is hydration!

And oh the scents! My favorites were the Lemon Verbena and English Lavender (of course!) soaps. They were extremely gentle on my skin and the fragrance really woke me up and got me going! And to top it off -- Yardley is vowing to using recyclable packaging, avoid animal testing, and keep out harmful ingredients like parabens and sulfates.

I also was able to try the bath and shower gel which was great for this cold snap we've been going through here in Boston. I've been using the sea minerals shower gel in the shower to gently exfoliate with bergamot (which fights inflammation too - don't ya know!) and lime for a rejuvenating and revitalizing scent.

The Lavender & Rosemary shower gel is for when I have a long work day ahead of me! Duh! Where else do I need my instant stress relief!!!

All in all, an incredible line up from Yardley -- I think Marliyn may have been on to something!

Shower gels are available at $4.99 and soaps at $2.99 in drugstores across the USA or online at Drugstore.com and Soap.com.

Thanks London! Love ya Yardley!
