KBShimmer-Astronaut Ice Cream Sugar Scrub
As a child in the 80’s, space was on the forefront of a lot of minds. We had space shuttles heading into orbit, popular movies like Star Wars and Space Camp, and two space centers allowed us to get up close and personal with NASA. Christy’s personal favorite from the space center visit was a bar of Astronaut Ice Cream. That freeze-dried bar sparked her imagination and made her feel like her, too, could walk on the moon!
Inspired by that bar of freeze-dried Neapolitan ice cream, Astronaut Ice Cream sugar scrub features three layers, each with its own scent. The classic strawberry, vanilla and chocolate flavors are represented by the pink, cream, and brown-colored layers. Use each layer individually, or stir them to form a juicy, chocolate-covered berry scent.
