Give each peony plant enough space to grow to maturity without being crowded. That means a 3- to 4-foot diameter for each plant. Choose a location that is sheltered from strong winds. The large heavy blooms of this plant can cause the stems to flop over during heavy rain and inclement weather. Your peonies will benefit from some type of support staking. Plant them well away from other trees and shrubs, since they don't like to compete for nutrients and water.

Peonies like a good chill in the winter. In order to set their flower buds, peony roots should be planted relatively close to the soil surface—only about 2-to 3-inches deep.

String of Turtles (Peperomia prostrata)
The String of Turtles is a delicate trailing houseplant adored for its small, round leaves patterned with intricate, turtle shell-like markings in shades of green and silver. Its cascading growth habit makes it a charming choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or terrariums.

The Mini: Pink Grapefruit Sugar Scrub  (2 ounce)

Introducing your new favourite moisturizing sugar scrub!

The Pink Grapefruit Sugar Scrub by SOAK Bath Co was created to be ultra moisturizing and to bring a splash of brightness to your skincare routine. Scented with a cheery blend of Grapefruit Essential Oil, it's just the aroma you'll love to reach for when it's time to exfoliate! 

The Pink Grapefruit Sugar Scrub is made with a blend of coconut oil and sweet almond oil to create a moisturizing and exfoliating experience.

This Sugar Scrub is meant to be used for full body and can be used as a lip scrub!

Scent Profile

This scrub is scented with Grapefruit Essential Oil giving it a beautiful citrus scent. Smells just like a fresh squeezed grapefruit!

How to Use

While in the shower or in the bathtub, scoop a small portion of the sugar scrub into your hand. Massage the sugar scrub against your skin, this scrub is great for exfoliating and moisturizing really dry places on the skin (like knees and elbows). Massage against the skin to work the oils in and the sugar may dissolve. Then rinse off. 

Caring for Your Sugar Scrub

The Pink Grapefruit Sugar Scrub features coconut oil, which naturally solidifies at room temperature. Once the temperature gets above 23 degrees Celcius, coconut oil melts and begins to liquify. 

If you store the Sugar Scrub in a warm place, it's possible the scrub will begin to liquify. If this happens, just pop the scrub into the fridge for an hour and it will return to its original, solid consistency. It may need a quick stir with a teaspoon. 

For this reason, the Sugar Scrub will only ship in the cold, winter months. If you've fallen in love with it, stock up while the chilly weather lasts!
