Product Review: All Natural Sugar Scrub by wttilcock

(Note:  This review is an unsolicited review and I'm not being paid to write it.  When I find a quality product I enjoy sharing it with others. )




Even though I make my own bath and body products I do on occasion order them from others. I prefer the homemade kind with all natural ingredients to the ones you can buy in the store simply because they are better for your skin and do a better job.


I ordered some All Natural Sugar Scrub from wttilcock on Etsy.  They offer their Sugar Scrub in many different scents and I picked Vanilla, of course!  My Sugar Scrub arrived today and I couldn't wait to try it out, so I went to take a shower.  I fear that all work has ceased for the day now. LOL.

The scrub came in a wonderful little jar, sealed and bagged to prevent leakage, with a cute little 'Thank You' note hand written and attached to it.  I am a sucker for the handwritten thank you's that come with orders from small business owners... it makes me know that they really appreciated my business.

But on to the good part!  The scrub itself.... it is the perfect consistency making it easy to use.  The ingredients are mixed equally so that each one did their job.  After using this scrub my skin is wonderfully exfoliated and the oils that the sugar is mixed with left my skin feeling soft and smooth all over.  This scrub did not leave behind a sticky residue at all, which many that you buy in the store do.

If you like luxury bath products that are all natural and healthy for your skin, then I definitely recommend you get some of this scrub!   You can order directly from their shop here:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/81726485/all-natural-sugar-scrub?ref=pr_shop

Yarn Review: Bernat Pipsqueak

I wrote this yarn review back in August as a note on our Facebook Page.  You can view the afghan made with this yarn here:  Crocheted Candy Girl Afghan
I just finished a baby/toddler throw using Bernat Pipsqueak yarn.  This yarn comes in 100g/3.5 oz skeins and is 100% polyester.  Pipsqueak is a bulky yarn requiring larger hooks/needles.  The first thing I enjoyed about working with this yarn is that it is softer than any other yarn I've ever seen!  The second thing I immediately noticed is how quickly this yarn crochets up.  The finished afghan was a good weight and warm, it didn't take long to make and it is soft enough to not irritate even the most delicate skin.
If you are a yarn crafter and have not tried this yarn you should!  I found the Bernat Pipsqueak at Walmart.  After looking for it online I learned it is a rather new yarn with a limited color range right now.  But given the softness and ease of working with it I fully expect them to incorporate more colors into the line.
