APPELATION GRAPESEED SCRUB ! A SPECIAL EDITION OF GODDESS GRANNY!

So here’s the thing, just WHO made up the ‘white’ rule about when you can wear it?  I searched the internet and nobody has a definitive answer on that!  Just this weekend I announced to my Harley Husband that it is officially allowed to wear white now and he looked at me like I was talking a different language!  “What are you talking about dear?” he asked.  I explained about the ‘tasteful white rule’ and the dates involved and of course he laughed out loud!  That’s just crazy that somebody declared we can’t wear white, especially white shoes, at certain times. Guys don’t live by that rule I’m sure. I can honestly say, my Harley Husband has no white Harley boots so this has never been an issue for him!  LOL!  Even so, any white shoe wearing dudes probably don’t check their calendars before they proceed to saunter down the boulevard in their white stylin' shoes!  Sometimes I think fashion is rather crazy – this rule is nuts, but it’s been around so long (even though it’s not written as law on any legal documentation) and you can’t get arrested for wearing white at the wrong time, but still, most women’s in-house alarm systems go off in a dangerously high pitched sound that only WOMEN can hear when we spot a ‘white shoed’ atrocity strolling across our path as much as a week before the Memorial Day Holiday Weekend!  Good thing this only applies to ‘white shoes, pants, shorts, shirts and purses’ for the most part.  Thank goodness we can still wear white socks with our tennis shoes and steamy white lingerie beneath our clothing.  What if we had to monitor those things too at certain times of the year!  Well as frowned upon as I may be for thinking “Who cares if you wear white during an unauthorized period of time – according to some rule made by????” I will probably get an even bigger frown here because…. I’m not a fan of the Appellation Grape seed Micro fine Scrub or the matching products.  I know I’m sure I’ll be brought up in front of a grape throwing firing squad, but I honestly have given this scrub and the matching products several go rounds and each time, for me, I hate the smell.  Sorry.  But every time I use it I make a face and it’s not a cute face either.  I have used it on my feet too, so I could use it up and it’s ok, but I’m just not excited about it.  The packaging is nice and the ingredients are lovely.  I tried pawning it off on my Harley Husband but he wasn’t interested - also not a fan of the smell.  I put the body wash out on the sink to use instead of regular soap or hand washing liquid, but again, every time I used it, I made that face that says … “This isn’t working for me.”  I’m probably going to find a girlfriend who stops by our house who will undoubtedly resonate with the entire set and kiss me profusely for letting her leave with such a great trio of goodies, but until then, I can’t give these items my best 21 grape salute.   They are ok in the product usability department and a really not ok with me in the fragrance department.    

Bend me over and slap me silly, because I wear white whenever I feel like it. I have always looked better in white than black, it simply can't be helped.  ha! ha! ha! Oh, yeah, I've always been the most extreme sort of rebel.On to the product.I freakin' loved this chit!  The smell, the quality, and the effectiveness blew my mind.  I find myself constantly reaching for the Face and Body Wash and the Grapeseed Srub over some of my all time favorites.  The Hand and Nail Cream is incredibly versatile.  It worked beautifully on the feet of my children and myself, and greatly softened those nasty bumps on the back of my arms caused by Keratosis Pilaris. Impressive. I LOVE the fact that the Hand and Nail Cream absorbs completely no matter where you put.  It leaves nothing but lightly scented, satiny skin behind. (See? Using Hand and Nail Cream on places other than hands and nails, total rebellion.) Surprisingly, the face and body wash never over-dries and causes zero irritation.  The scrub exfoliates most effectively from head to ankle without the dreaded irritation I am constantly expecting and always fighting.  (Couldn't say head to toe, it wasn't quite strong enough to exfoliate rough/dry feet.) I could easily purchase many more products from this fabulous line, as gifts for others (loved the bottle of wine idea Goddess Granny!) and regular bath-time products for myself. AAAAAHHHHmazing! 

I really really really love this hand cream (so does my boyfriend). It smells really good, and it's actually super moistuzing WITHOUT being greasy. I've come across a ton of products that claim this but never actually are, and this one is. Plus, I like that the hand cream's actual size is a travel-friendly size without being ridiculously small.

I love the idea of these products. I have heard a lot of hype as well as a lot of positive information about products containing grapes and grape seeds.

i wear white whenever and wherever i want. this rule about memorial and labor day wardrobe color choice is only in US, since other countries dont celebrate them anyways. and the scrub sounds delicious, but then i love all scrubs i am a bit of scrub-maniac :)

I love white, but I hardly ever wear it, not just because of silly "fashion rules" (who made those anyway?). I'm not apt to spill anything dark colored on white that you can think of. If they're shoes, there's a great chance that it will rain that day and I'll be stuck wondering around in white shoes in a sea of mud puddles. That's just kind of how it works for me, lol.The scrub sounds fabulous, but then again, I think I've very rarely met a scrub I didn't like. It sounds like it's a really fine scrub, which is awesome. I hate abrasive scrubs.

I checked out the website and I am interested in the Appellation Grapeseed Clay Facial Mask. I LOVE masks!The products are not cheap but they are also still in most everyone's price range...very nice.

I like the sound of the lavendar massage stuff, my muscles are super sore and that sounds like a great fix.

haha, looks amazing! as usual (:

this looks really nice!

sounds great! :D thanks for sharing!
