If you are thinking that my bathroom must be overflowing with scrubs and polishes, you are absolutely right! I make my own emulsified scrubs and I adore them, but I also find unique and effective scrubs to be irresistible.

For awhile, I've been fixated on the strawberries & cream scrub and the coffee scrub from bellapelleskincare.com.... But, over the weekend, I went back to some old favorites from Ablutions Spa and wondered how on earth I've been living without them! These are THE MOST LUSCIOUS scrubs on the planet. They are also VERY effective. Not a bad combo where I come from! My only problem is that I can't pick a favorite. In the running are:

Moroccan Harem Rhassoul Clay Body Polish
Description: Treat yourself to a Moroccan style spa treatment at home with this sultry, skin smoothing treat of pure white sugar enveloped in an enticing blend of precious essential oils, authentic Moroccan clays and ground spices that will transport you to another place and time.

Tahitian Berry Alpha Hydroxy Acid Body Polish
Description:Buff your skin deliciously in this clean rinsing, luscious treat of ripe, succulent berries warmed with a hint of creamy Tahitian vanilla, enveloped in smoothing white sugar, blueberry seeds, ground vanilla beans, fruit acid rich raspberry & strawberry powders and nourishing coconut oil. We add a generous dose of active fruit acids to this polish to exfoliate even more, making this body smoother perfect to use before self tanning applications for the smoothest, longest lasting tan. It's also excellent for dry, sun ravaged skins; the extra exfoliation will allow your body creams and treatments to penetrate more effectively, giving you soft, supple, hydrated skin.

Thai Coconut Milk & Lemongrass Body Polish
Description: This clean rinsing favorite includes organic ground lemongrass, coconut milk, lemongrass essential oil, virgin coconut oil and cane sugar to buff your skin smooth and soft.

Sighing....... You have to understand that I truly love the Bella Pelle scrubs. I adore the scrubs I make myself, too. I load them up with luxurious and exotic ingredients and I get to tweak and blend fragrances to my hearts content. And, then there are these.... They feel soooooo good. They smell even better than they feel.

I've been doing so much scrubbing, polishing, buffing, and marinating lately, I might as well put myself on a rotisserie spit Laughing

! I'm sure I'd be succulent and tender!!! I suppose my only solace is that now with the hot humid Maryland summer just around the corner, I'll be taking LOTS and LOTS of showers. Soooooo, I won't have to make these decisions. I can use em ALL!!!

Oooops - almost forgot! The Ablutions scrubs are available at http://www.ablutions-spa.com/index.html . Y'all already know where to get the bellapelleskincare.com scrubs. And, to try out my scrubs (which are indeed luscious), you'll just have to wait until you're invited to be a weekend guest Wink

Hello Katee,
Now I really wonder how big is your bathroom. I can barely keep everything remotely organized. I live in a condo and the bathroom is exploding with products. I always have to dig and dig...

So, now we know katee's favorite scrubs are from Bella and Absolutions, they all sound very yummy but based on katee's description, katee prefer these scrubs over Candy's. I am still in love with Candy's yummy berry scrub texture. Are the scrubs at Bella and Absolutions as fine as yummy berry scrub? (I find fine scrubs easier to spread and use).

Also, another question, Katee, do you always shower with scrubs instead of a shower/bath cleanser? Wouldn't this dry out the skin a bit? And if you do have a favorite shower gel or cream that you can share?

Thanks first,
Wild Cat

Oh Katee, I love your cartoons - they are so cute.

Katee,
I find the size of scrub at Ablutions Spa (4-6oz?) is priced reasonably. I am wondering what are the sizes of scrubs from Bella Pelle? They are a bit more expensive than Ablutons.
Thanks first,
Wild Cat

Calling Katee.....
My fingers really want to click on the check-out button Bad Grin

The Bella Pelle scrubs are bigger - 8 oz. I think also they are a little richer so I use less of them. Both lines are scrumptious though.
