It’s hard to let go of your fears…
Like, for me, the concern of smelling like a cleaning spray, or the scientific term, scentofcleaningspray-a-phobia.

It started innocently enough. one day long ago I was wearing a scent — can’t remember which one it was now — but it had strong notes of verbena.
Doop-da-doo, someone leaned in for a hug but pulled away immediately, as if repelled, and said, “You smell exactly like Pledge.”
It left scars, man.

Needless to say, I was a little skeptical at first about Laura Mercier’s new Verbena Infusion Gel Body Moisture, but I figured, it’s Laura, and I’ve pretty much loved all of her scented body products, so I banked on this one working out , aussi.
And it did! No eau de scrubbing bubbles.
“Inspired by the countryside of Provence, Laura captures the crisp freshness of Verbena to invigorate the senses. A sparkling bouquet of green citrus and leafy spearmint infuse beautifully with petals of fresh blossoms and a touch of white amber and cedar wood. Leaving behind a refreshing sensation that rejuvenates the body.”

With the mercury rising here in northern Marin, I’ve been digging the creamy gel-like texture, which feels nearly like a light mousse. It swiftly absorbs into my skin and doesn’t leave the backs of my knees feeling sticky, which is a major moisturizer turnoff.
A little goes a long way, too, and as for the scent, I find it light and refreshing.
I mean, I can tell it’s there, but it’s not like it’s setting up camp in my nostrils or anything.
Long story short, Laura’s Verbena Infusion Gel Body moisture is a charming summer indulgence.
Fingers crossed that Laura releases a lot more body products with the same gel-creme formula.

Pie for breakfast!
I highly recommend it, particularly cold pie fresh out of the fridge with a hot cup of coffee.

That’s a magical combination ideal there! I had a slice of that leftover peach pie I got at the Petaluma Pie company this morning, and it really hit the spot, and why wouldn’t it? girl cannot live on oatmeal and wheat toast alone.
