Arbonne Sea Salt Scrub

I'm a natural born skeptic. As much as I might want to believe that your wonder product will keep me from ever aging past 25 or that it will instantly wake me up in the morning free of rage and the need for caffeine it's just not going to happen. I don't believe you because your shit doesn't normally work. I'm more than willing to give something a try but I have no hopes because I honestly believe it's going to do as much good for me as a bath in sphinx milk.

So recently when my boss asked me to come to a party at her house I was less than what you might call thrilled. She was making me leave work early, on a FRIDAY. I work in retail. This is the equivalent of how a puppy would feel if you dangled a tasty bone in front of it and then beat it with the bone instead. The conversation went something like this:

"Hey you're off early Friday."

"Why?"

"I'm having a party thing at my house and I want you to come."

"..... Will there be booze?"

Then she drops the bomb on me that it's a makeup/skincare line party. All women are familiar with the concept. An overly cheerful 'consultant' gathers a bunch of bored women in a room and feeds them wine and  finger food all while lecturing them on the benefits of slathering yourself in baby tear extract or some other such thing. This particular party was for Arbonne, which I had never heard of. Apparently it's Swedish. Who knew? As the party progresses the two things that struck me were that the stuff they had us try smelled REALLY good and that it was expensive in a way that bordered on stupid. Me affording this product line would have to involve a part time job standing on a street corner.

The consultant awarded me the door prize which was half off of any product in their line. I seem to be incapable of passing up free money so I went ahead and ordered the least expensive thing just to try it out. I ended up with a tub of Arbonne Sea Salt Scrub for $15.00 instead of the normal $30 something. It looks like this:

I've used Sea Scrubs before. My legs normally look like a cross between some breed of dinosaur and that patch of dry dirt in your driveway. I use the scrub to exfoliate before I shave to get rid of those pesky ingrowns that seem to be the bane of my existence. I popped it in my shower and tried it the next time I shaved my legs. This was where everything changed. I put a dime sized amount in my palm and scrubbed my calves with it. What I noticed immediately was that it was sloughing off the dead surface skin at a rate that was almost disgusting. It clogged the shaver. The second thing I noticed was that it was very hydrating. The natural oils in it kept my skin from itching like crazy after I shave like it normally does. I was dancing around my house making my roomies feel my legs. This stuff is awesome. 

Now here's the nitty gritty. You can order this from Arbonne or you can order the same thing from Amazon.com. If you're a Prime member on Amazon.com it's probably going to be significantly cheaper for you there. Free shipping yo. The tub is 16 oz. A little goes a long way. It smells delicious. According to Arbonne's info all of their products are completely all natural. The only obvious downside is the price but for what you get I think it's worth it. Especially for the people that have crocodile skin like me.  I will most assuredly be ordering more!
