Anyone who knows me is well aware I can be quite the product junkie. I say that, however, I am a far cry from a samples hoarder. I find excessive amounts of anything to be quite overwhelming. Now I know what you’re thinking, too many shoes, Tracy? Handbags? Now come on! Ok, ok .. there comes a time when we have to be flexible and make exceptions. When it comes to what’s in my shower, I pretty much have narrowed down my product loves. I rarely re-purchase anything new because when it comes to my shower routine, the products I currently use serve every purpose … performance, smell, lasting power, and pretty packaging. Pretty packaging? I know, girly-issues!
As I contemplated how much of what’s in my Shower to share in one post, I decided it would be easier to keep it broken down into categories. This couldn’t possibly be due to the fact that I have such an arsenal of products, could it? My husband and I have four corner shelves in our shower (two in the front and two in the back) … to which three shelves are devoted to me. This was all strategic on my part, but my husband had no idea when we built our house. I explained to him that he could take the two in the front corner and I would kindly just take the two in the back … of course, making it more convenient for him. Let’s be real, what all does a man need in the shower anyway, but a couple items from the dollar store? His Suave 2-in-1 shampoo and Lever 2000 fit perfectly on one little shelf.
L’Occitane Delicious Hand Soap – I’m sure it’s no surprise to see some L’Occitane products in my shower. I’ve talked about this ‘Almond’ line from L’Occitane numerous times on my social media sites. I LOVE the L’Occitane Delicious Hand Soap. Speaking of hands … it is hands-down, my go-to and ONLY bar soap I faithfully use. This soap gives a gentle exfoliation and has a wonderful scent. I love the smaller size, the affordability, and the fact that it lasts just as long, if not longer, than a normal drugstore soap. Affordable luxury at its finest! No Zest-fully clean for this girl, and I’ll leave the 2000 parts (Lever) for the hubby.
L’Occitane Shower Oil – This Almond Oil enriched Shower Oil by L’Occitane will transform your shower experience. When it comes to shaving those beautiful gams, nothing can top it. When the oil comes in contact with water, it transforms into a delicate foam. This Shower Oil leaves your skin super soft & leaves you smelling AMAZING! If your running late in the morning, this product is all you need. You can skip the body lotion and mist of perfume, and you’ll still leave the house feeling and smelling Divine. Also sold at Sephora
You know a product is tried and true when the person writing the blog post has extras waiting in the wings. I cannot be without these LOVES!
Tree Hut Detoxifying Mediterranean Salt Scrub { Fig & Olive } – If you’re in need of a good shower scrub down, this Tree Hut Detoxifying Mediterranean Salt Scrub is AMAZING! It smells INCREDIBLE, and leaves your skin super soft. I use a body scrub once or twice a week. If I’m self-tanning, I always make sure to do a good exfoliate prior to my self-tanning application. This one does the job.
Fresh Hesperides Grapefruit Bath & Shower Gel – Let me just start out by saying that this product is part of Oprah’s Favorite Things 2015‘. So if Oprah says it’s good, who needs me? The product description for the Fresh ‘Hesperides Grapefruit’ Bath & Shower Gel says, “An invigorating formula enhanced with nourishing Shea butter that revitalizes and gently cleanses the skin.” This product deserves so much more love (and marketing) than what the brand ‘Fresh’ is giving it. The citrus scent in this product is the perfect morning wake-up call. Depending on my day, sometimes I shower in the morning and sometimes evening. When showering in the morning, you better believe I am lathering this baby on my loofah. The scent truly gives you that positive, energetic, conquer-the-day feeling. Also sold at Sephora
If you’re wondering what razor I use, it’s actually a mens. How I came upon my love for this men’s razor was quite by accident. While showering one morning, I dropped and broke my ‘Venus’ razor. Dripping wet, I snuck out and searched my husband’s toiletry case for his razor. I jumped back into the shower, shaved my legs, and fell in love with a new razor. I didn’t buy myself one for about five days. So every morning like clockwork I would sneak and use his, dry it off and put it back ever so perfectly in his case …. he never knew, and never will. And so the story goes of my love of the Gillette Mach 3 men’s razor.
So that’s what I am currently using in my shower. What body products are you using right now? Also, let me know if you would like to see what hair products I use in the shower.
