Gotta Love a Good Scrub!

Cue the "Tropical Rainforest" music, close your eyes, and get ready to indulge in an oasis of soft skin. What was once lost is now found! I was so excited to find this at the bottom of a tote bag covered by an ADIDAS jacket. 

Now that I think back on it, I'm sure I stuffed it in there during a quick tidy up of the apartment when expecting company, but I have definitely got to do a better job of keeping track of these things! 

Years ago I tried a sugar scrub from Bath & Body Works. I think it was the Aromatherapy Orange Ginger Sugar Scrub. I was more than happy to pay $16 for an at home spa experience. And I have to tell you. . . I HATED IT! The scrub felt scratchy and abrasive and it left an oily residue on my skin after the shower. I felt like I needed another shower after the first! From that moment on I swore off Bath & Body Works scrubs.

Enter a Bath & Body Works gift card and a good ole fashioned sale! The saleswoman was incredibly nice and scooted by with a bottle of the body spray in the scent, Cool Amazon Rain, in her apron and sprayed it on a paper for me to smell. Whoa, buddy!

I feel that smells are so difficult to describe, so I'm not going to even bother. What I will say is that it convinced me to give the scrub a try. I was in search of a scrub and figured it was time to give Bath & Body Works another chance. $8 and a few weeks (after losing it) later, it was time to give this a try!

It was time for the full experience: scrub, shave, lather, rinse, and moisturize.

My skin felt INCREDIBLE! No greasy residue and I was able to achieve a nice close shave after scrubbing off all that sad, dull, winter skin. What a lovely way to begin getting ready for spring!


*The scrub is priced on the Bath & Body Works website at $14.50 so if you're interested in paying less, keep your eye out for a sale!

I Lost It!!!

Which one of these beauties went missing?  

I bought all three of these items, plus a few other things, on the same day. It was a few weeks back. I took all three along with me to my parents' house overnight. I used all three of those items. Only one of those items has not been used since.

Where did you go?

My lips are hydrated.

I used the "Mystery Product" in my last video here.

Where is my shower scrub?!?!?!? I have looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find it. I even checked the bathroom at my parents' house yesterday and it is not there. I only got to use it once and it smelled like a tropical getaway. But I didn't have any lotion or body butter to lock in the moisture to get a real feel for how effective (or not) it was. Where is my tropical getaway spa day at home I had planned? Lost in space. . . . or my closet.

What is a girl to do?

Continue searching?

Repurchase?

Ugh. . . .

Shower Time

Why is it that when showering before work it never seems long enough yet when on vacation showers seem to be an inconvenience? (Or is that just my own personal problem?) All in all, when there's nothing but time I love a good shower! Baths. . . . well I have some issue with those as well. In the summer it feels weird (and HOT!) to sit in a hot bath when all I want is a refreshing cool shower, yet in the winter a hot bath always seems to cool too quickly leaving me desperate to get out and into multiple layers of warm clothes.

This is very similar to my season envy: wanting winter in the summer and summer in the winter. However, I really love my bath and shower products. One of the few errands I really enjoy is buying shower stuff.

Normally I like to post photos of the products I'm going to talk about, but I don't want to ruin the surprise! So instead I will begin with the video and look below for detailed info.

Featured products:

• Dove bar soap (White or Unscented)
• About $8.00 for 8 bars found here
• Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish
• $18.00 found here
• To read about the body scrub I mention in the video, click here
• Bic Silky Touch Razors (10 pack)
• Found at Walmart, in the video I say it's about 2 bucks, and I can't remember exactly. At Walmart.com its listed as $5.28 but I am certain I've never spent that much in store.
• Gillette Satin Care shave gel
• Between $2 and $3, found here, and this is the scent I was talking about!
• The Body Shop Exfoliating Skin Towel (the body polisher I talked about)
• $5.00 found here
• Caress Silkening Body Wash

I put links so that if you want to purchase online, you can. I personally like to look at products online and buy them in-store so that I know what I'm looking for when I go out shopping. Plus I don't like paying for shipping and most times when I need to replenish something I only need one or two things at a time. Either way, you have access to what you're looking for if you'd like to purchase any of these products. Enjoy!

That's The Buzz!
