Can you feel it in your bones? Have you caught the scent of it? Do you see the signs?
Spring. It's coming... it's just a few short days away...
Now, if you're like me, you change everything just as soon as the last frost of the season has come and gone.
I tend to wear deep, warm fragrances in the winter. Cinnamon, Apple, Bayberry... something intense and full of heat.
But come spring, I am SO ready for light, fruity, bright, and cool!
Ah... the joys of discovery! I found an
Etsy shop called
Its The Balm. WOW. They have the most amazing, home-made, natural bath and beauty products!
Lip balms, scrubs, lotions, sprays, and soaps!
I KNEW I had to share that discovery with you!

*Tropical Island Body Wash
*Island Sugar Scrub
*Tropical Island Organic Body Lotion
*Tropical Island Body Mist
Oh... the fragrance! It takes me back to my home on Tybee and the days spent walking the beach and swimming in the ocean. Seriously, it brought tears to my eyes.
You can smell the pineapple, coconut, vanilla, and citrus. It's sensual. It's heady. It's intoxicating!
I must admit to being particularly fond of the amazing
Island Sugar Scrub. It employs sugar and sea salt to exfoliate the skin and essential oils to soothe and soften. I use it on my hands, elbows, and feet! I know Mike is happy as he is ALWAYS complaining about my rough heels.
Used together, you do feel as though you've received a total spa experience. I certainly do. Its aromatherapy, exfoliation, and massage all wrapped together.
All of the fine products produced at
Its The Balm are made from natural ingredients such as purified water, essential oils, juices, and glycerin. These are
quality products made with care and love.
With my
Tropical Island Spa Kit, I am
ready for Spring! Bring on the blooming azaleas, flip-flops, sandy beaches, and front-porch swings! I shall be bathed in the delightful scent of pineapples and coconut... sipping on my
mint julep, er, sweet iced tea... and watching the world go by.
:)
