Press SampleGreetings, dear readers, and happy Monday! I hope you’ve had a wonderful weekend and your week is off to a fabulous start! Today is the last day of the August opening of the Polish Pickup, so let’s jump right in on today’s blog post.One of the highlights for me when it comes to the Polish Pickup is the sugar scrub offering from KBShimmer. The theme this month is “The Four Elements”, and Christy of KBShimmer has created a scrumptious “Farmer’s Market” scent, inspired by the Earth element, to pair with her wonderful sugar scrub formula.Getting up early on a Saturday morning can be a true treat for the senses. The crisp morning air, sunlight casting a golden glow, and soft sounds of waking birds welcoming the new day and inviting is to take a stroll to enjoy the earth’s bounty. Head over to your local farmer’s market and you can find an array of fresh fruit, vibrant blooms, and a fresh pastry to enjoy on your market stroll. Tables covered in gingham boast ripe apples or juicy cantaloupe, while a neighboring stand offers fun stories about chickens while selling their wares.Farmer’s Market Hand & Body Scrub celebrates the earth’s bounty found at local markets. This fresh summer scent starts with a melody of fragrant clementine, ripe apple, and sweet melon. A bouquet of blooming lily, delightful freesia, and soft lilac adds fresh floral notes, while a base of musk, amber, and rich vanilla adds a lasting depth pleasing to the senses. This creamy scrub is swirled with a dash of red, orange, and green, for an earth-inspired scrub that would be at home at any farmer’s market.I’m definitely a fan of KBShimmer’s sugar scrubs, and I always have a jar by my sink upstairs, one downstairs, and another for use in the shower. The texture is coarse enough to exfoliate away dead skin cells (and those pesky bumps on the back of my arms) without being too harsh on the skin. As for the fragrance, scent preferences are so personal, but I enjoy this combination. Not too strongly scented for my sensitive nose, it is a really well balance of fragrances- not too fruity (which I still would like anyway), not too floral (which would be a big NO from me), and not too warm. If you don’t fall into a very strict “must be _fill_in_the_blank_”, it’s a good relatively neutral option and sure to be a crowdpleaser.The Farmer’s Market Hand & Body Scrub retails for $10 a jar.It is available for purchase from the Polish Pickup here, but you’ll need to act fast. Today is the last day to get this pre-ordered.Please allow three weeks for shipping within the US as all orders submitted to the Polish Pickup are submitted as a pre-order. While there may be a wait, one big bonus is US shipping is only $3 for all products on the site, and orders placed from Friday through today can be combined for this low shipping rate.Until next time, dear readers, have a wonderful day!XO!Connect with me on Social Media!
