I’m a big fan of Fresh products, while a bit pricey, they are super high quality and all smell so wonderful! I don’t think I’ve ever tried a Fresh product that I didn’t like. They’ve come out with a great travel size skincare kit featuring their soy products. It makes it so easy to pack, just grab and go!
Soy Skincare Set, $38
It contains Soy Face Cleanser, Soy Face Exfoliant, Soy Face Serum and Soy Face Cream. They’re all packed in a sleek little white zippered case.
They’ve also come out with a travel size of their Citron de Vigne fragrance in a convenient roller ball format. This is great because fragrance is really difficult to travel with – - really, who hasn’t worried about their bottle breaking and having all your clothes perfume soaked!
Citron de Vigne Eau de Parfum Rollerball, $18.50. If you’re not familiar with this fragrance, it has top notes of neroli, bitter orange and pink grapefruit; middle notes of Fresh’s pinot noir accord, jasmine tea leaves and lemongrass; and base notes: patchouli, sandalwood and amber.
There’s a special offer available now through the end of the day 9/24… with a $100 purchase and code CITRON at checkout you get free travel sizes of Citron de Vigne shower & bath gel and body lotion!

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the film adaptation of the best-selling book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Fresh has introduced the Fresh Eat, Pray, Love Collection of 3 fragrances and a candle set.
The first fragrance, Eat, is a sweet, effervescent scent that indulges in Italy’s most addictive desserts and sensual wines. Notes of bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience.
Top Notes: Italian lemon, basil, bergamot
Middle Notes: plum, red currant, rose
Bottom Notes: caramel, meringue, vanilla
The second fragrance, Pray, is inspired by India’s serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense.
Top Notes: elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry
Middle Notes: incense, peony, rose
Base Notes: patchouli, amber, musk
The third fragrance, Love, is a fragrance that bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses, are combined with the lush aromas of Bali’s exotic landscape.
Top Notes: bergamot, red currant, mango blossom
Middle Notes: lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine
Base Notes: sandalwood, vetyver, velvet amber
Each fragrance comes in a 1 oz. spray bottle and is $32. The candle set ($45) includes 3 petite candles, one in each fragrance and comes in a nice decorative box.

Exfoliating is a must to keep your skin in top condition. Here are a few exfoliators that I’ve tried, and like. It’s always a treat to use a really expensive product, but it’s not a must – I find that the cheaper ones actually work just as well… although perhaps the ingredients aren’t as natural or special, but if you’re on a budget then I think it’s okay. Better to care for your skin than go without because you can’t afford a $60 exfoliator!
Fresh make this wonderful Appleseed Brightening Exfoliant, it’s the $60 one though (for 3.4 oz or $17.65/oz)! Eek! Expensive, but it’s loaded with great ingredients like: pomegranate seeds, bamboo, citrus fruit acids, apple seed oil, strawberry and plum seed oils, evening primrose butter and mulberry root. The product gently sweep away dry, dull skin, leaving the complexion glowing and renewed. The various ingredients nourish and protect, enhance cell turnover, help to brighten and even skin tone and revitalize and softening the skin.
Also in the luxury range is Caudalie’s Gentle Buffing Cream. It is $35 for 2 oz or $18.50/oz. (smaller bottle, but actually more expensive than the Fresh, double Eek!) It is also loaded with great natural ingredients: grape-seed oil, jojoba microbeads, honey, plant cellulose, liquorice, essential oils of sweet lime and sandal wood, extracts of coriander, limette, lemon, guaiac wood, sweet orange, vetiver, sandal wood and lavandin… etc. etc. This rich scrub eliminates impurities, dead skin cells and excess oil while stimulating cellular renewal. Your complexion’s radiance is gently restored and your skin is soft and clean.
Among the bargain options are St. Ives Daily Microdermabrasion and Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Scrub.
The St. Ives Daily Microdermabrasion ($7.99 for 4 oz or $1.99/oz) contains key ingredients of minerals, chamomile, silica and vitamin E. It exfoliates to reveal younger-looking, refined skin and is an Allure Editor’s Choice Award Winner.
Neutrogena’s Healthy Skin Scrub is $7.99 for 4.2 oz or $1.90/oz. It’s key ingredients are salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy acid and hydrating microbeads. It is the first 2-in-1 scrub to fight blemishes and the signs of aging for clearer, younger-looking skin. After use, skin is clearer, softer and smoother. Fine lines and wrinkles are visibly reduced.
Exfoliating is even more important in the Summer if you use self tanning products. They will go on much better and look more even.

We love Fresh’s Citron de Vigne fragrance and were so happy when they came out with the matching soap and candle – well… now they have released the bath gel and lotion! Yay!
Fresh Citron de Vigne
Here’s how they describe the scent: The sun-drenched days, earthy vines, and sparkling wines of France’s Champagne region were the inspiration for the notes in this intoxicating, effervescent scent. An innovative heart note of a pinot noir accord—comprised of bergamot, dark almond, musk, white sandalwood, and rose—is combined with bubbling citrus top notes and an earthy base, resulting in a crisp and sensual blend ideal for both men and women.
You can get a FREE Citron de Vigne 14 oz. oval soap when you make an online purchase of $100 or more, using code OVALSOAP at checkout. The offer is good until March 26th!
