Boy-howdie! I have found a company that will knock your socks off!
Farm Hussy is a bath and body company based out of Los Alamitos, CA. They make everything from sugar scrubs to lotion (and everything in-between!). Absolutely every ounce of this painfully adorable site is farm-themed. The names of the products, the scent descriptions....heck, even the directions! You can definitely tell the level of creativity and care that goes into every single
Farm Hussy product!
Let's start off with one of my favorite products: The sugar scrub!
I can say with absolute honesty that this is one of THE best sugar scrubs I have ever tried. I was able to try out two different types. The regular "Chicken Scratch Bath Scrub" and the "Chicken Scratch
Foaming Bath Scrub."
Chicken Scratch Bath Scrub - This is your typical sugar scrub...with one exception. It rocks! The scrubbies are MUCH larger than any other scrub I've ever tried and it leaves your skin feeling polished and soft. These come in a 6.1oz jar, and a little definitely goes a long way! Here are the fabulous scents I got to try:
- Goosebumps - This scent is from their seasonal Halloween line called, "Farm Ghouls Gone Wild!" It smells oh-so-good! Farm Hussy's description is much cuter than I could ever manage so I'll let them do the talkin'!
- "…this is Hussy’s new favorite snort for Halloween! This fragrance will make your pinfeathers bristle, when you get a big honkin’ bill full of toasted marshmallows paddling around in a rich and creamy steamy pond of chocolaty cocoa! A positively startling scent!!"
- Sissy's Kettlecorn - I absolutely LOVE this scent! It smells just like walking past the kettlecorn stand at the fair! Some of you might be thinking that you wouldn't want to walk around smelling like kettlecorn all day, but have no fear! While this scent is strong and delicious, the scent won't linger on your skin for long. You'll be free to put on your own perfume (or better yet, your Farm Hussy lotion!) after your bath without having the scents compete! I love that!
- Check out Farm Hussy's description: "This scent will sway those who swear to not like "foody" scents! It will melt your "no no no's" in your no-no-nose and turn your heart into butter! It's Sissy sweet, salty and absolute AROMAGIC in a sniff! You'll only be sorry you didn't buy more ;-)"
Chicken Scratch Foaming Bath Scrub - This scrub is just as amazing as the above mentioned, but slightly different. In addition to polishing away all the dead, dry skin on your body...this scrub also foams, turning it into a body wash as well!
- Mama's Bear Hugs - Oh wow. This is one of my top favorite scents in this entire order! It is so soothing and relaxing. I will definitely be ordering a full-sized lotion in this one!
- From Farm Hussy: "Mamma's love will wrap you up in her arms with wafts of fresh apricoddle, herbal cha"MOM"ile, sugarberries, a sweet muzzle musk and nudge of vanilla."
Next up on the product review is the body creams/lotions. Again, I'm thoroughly impressed with every single thing. Each and every lotion was hydrating without being greasy. The scents were long lasting and very pretty. In addition to all that, the names are too cute for words!
- Whipped Soy Glace - This is probably the thickest of the lotions I received. It is similar to the consistency of yogurt. It does take a bit more effort to rub completely in, but it is perfect for the winter when all our skin starts to get as dry as a corn chip!
- Devine Bovine Butyere - I would say that this is slightly less thick than the whipped soy glace. It has more a creamy, body butter texture that most of us a familiar with. Again, this is very moisturizing without being oily in the slightest.
- Cream of The Crop - This is like a thick lotion. There is definitely a different texture than the body-butter quality of the Devine Bovine Butyere. This would be perfect for every day use. The other two are more for severely dry skin.
- Udderly Tickled Hand Lotion - This lotion is one of the lightest I tried. While the other three creams come in a jar, this lotion comes in a handy squeeze bottle. This moisturizes very well and absorbs quickly for those on the go.
- Goat Milk n' Honey Lotion - While this has the same texture and consistency of the Udderly Tickled Hand Lotion, it has the added benefits of using goat's milk. Anyone who has every tried a goat's milk lotion will know just how nice this feels on your skin!
Now on to the review of the scents in each lotion:
- Maui Cowie - "Creamy coconut milk poured over a bowl of fresh peaches and topped off with sweet cream."
- Boy, is that a dead, on description! This is so tropical and yummy! I'm going to love using this while I'm down with the "winter blues."
- Grandpa's Apple Pandowdy - "This scent is for my Grandpa, this was one of his favorite things. Before he ate it, he would always sing "Shoefly Pie and Apple Pandowdy, makes your eyes light up and your tummy yell Howdy"! Your nose won't be bummed either, this is our MOST awesome apple scent! So proud to be the tip of the iceberg….."
- Most apple pie scents that I've tried seem to rely heavily on adding a ton of cinnamon to make it seem accurate. This, however, is a true apple pie scent! You can smell everything from the warm apples to the buttery crust!
- A Can of Libby's And a Spoon - "And I won't need nothin' else……..except maybe a glass of milk. Fill up your puss with this pumpkin puree, cinnamon, cardamom, Vermont maple, rum, French vanilla and caramelized sugar. Chase it down with fresh bread crust, do a cartwheel and make a pie in your tummy yummy!"
- Again, I am very impressed at how accurate this is without adding a ton of spices, like most pumpkin scents have. Perfect fall scent.
- Hi-Vee Hot Orange Danish - For some reason I couldn't find this description on the website, but it is true to its name. It's orange, and bakery, and deliciousness!
- Fruit Compost - "This compounded fruit fusion is a scent stew of unspiced apple cider, juicy pumpkins and fresh squash blended together with newly tapped maple syrup. A real Autumn Harvest conglomeration sensation!!"
- Ooh this is nice! The combination just smells like a beautiful fall day!
- Harvest HoeDown - "A barn stomping scent of autumn apples, fresh citrus and pumpkin notes circle together for this Must Have knee slappin' scent. This is the absolute perfect Autumn scent in a jar. It captures it all in one beautiful pre-winter whiff!"
- This is similar to the fruit compost in that it is a very "fall day" type smell. However this is less fruity and a bit more spicy. So good.
- VooDo Moo (Halloween collection) - "A bewitching voodoo moo brew of pomegranate enchantment."
- This is a very fruity, light scent. To me, it smells like berries mixed with cream.
- Count Quackula (Halloween collection) - "Allow your senses to feast on this Granny Smith with a toffee and caramel crunch coating…so dangerously delish you might shake a stake at it!"
- Oh yeah....this is yum-in-a-jar! This is a "must try"!
- The Corn Stalker (Halloween collection) - "This haunting candy corn scent will follow you everywhere, a restraining order won't help!"
- I'll admit, I hate the taste of candy corn. But the smell? Now that's a different story!
Overall Experience:
I am more than tickled pink with
Farm Hussy's products (If you couldn't already tell)! To be quite honest, it is a rare thing for me to be completely satisfied with bath and body products, largely in part because I am super picky. However, I can honestly say that I will be a lifelong "Hussy"! Please stop by
