Vitamin Daily

We’ve never needed an excuse for a long hot soak, but now that Bath and Body Works has come north, running a bath is a daily ritual.

Its massive new emporiums at Carrefour Laval and Fairview Pointe-Claire have everything girlie-girls need for pampering like Aromatherapy Tranquil Mint Foam Bath ($13), Shea It Isn't So Foot Cream ($20) from the True Blue Spa collection and a Slatkin & Co. Autumn candle with notes of red apple and fir balsam ($22.50). Can’t decide? Each store has a sink so you can test everything out before you buy.

Time to turn in that BlackBerry for bath time.
