Thymes on My Mind (and Hands!)
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I owe a big apology to a company that sent me some products to review. Not only am I really late, the products are really good. And I feel really bad. (Not just because I’ve got a nasty cold…this is shame) (I hate shame.)
The products arrived during the summer. I can’t remember why I put them away (for just a week, I thought), but between going to my class reunion, ‘Pup’s class reunion and then back here… and with Ike…
It slipped my mind.
I do, however, remember my excitement when I got the very lovely box with the word “Thymes” on it. As I opened it, I found an elegantly wrapped and presented set of soap, lotion and a nail brush, in a handy sink caddy. It was like opening a really beautifully wrapped present.
The Thymes Gardener products are wonderful too, especially in the kitchen. I can cut onions, then wash my hands with the soap, and the onion smell is gone. Instead, I’ll have a nice….green…scent left. It’s a summery smell, and in many ways, I’m glad I have it now, as it’s a smell that makes me feel warm. We’re having a cold spell down here, and with me being sick, I’m not getting to spend much time outside with my green things.
I also like the fact that, when I read the ingredient list, I can recognize the herbal components of the lotion and the soap as ones that are good for your skin, and their scents are those that make me feel happy. It really smells, to me, rather like early spring, just as the new grass is growing, and the air slips between the blades of grass, nascent flower buds and warmed earth. It smells, in fact, rather like the way the new grass looks…delicious enough that you wish, for a moment or more, that you could reach down and take a chomp. I used to roll in grass like that.
I’d like to try the Wild Ginger, as I like a citrus scent, or Filigree, as I like slightly spicy scents too. For a friend that’s getting married soon, I think I may get something from the Goldleaf collection. At any rate, I suspect any of the collections would be wonderful, and while I missed Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day are right around the corner.
Thank you Thymes.com and thank you Skirtpr.com for allowing me to try these products, and please, accept my apology that it took me so long to say thank you.
