to seed or not to seed

I've been pondering the idea of making scrubs with seeds. Those itty bitty blueberry seeds caught my eye on more than one occasion. Wouldn't they just look fabulous in a white sugar scrub? Or, how about a nice foaming bath whip with just those beautiful little red blueberry gems?

Today was the day. I could barely contain my excitement as I set about making a scrub soooooo gorgeous that you would want to take a spoon to it. The first batch was a bath whip sugar scrub. Turned out nice, but note breathtaking. Need to work on the sugar amounts. Too much sugar and you feel like you have been hit with a sand blaster. Too little and you don't feel exfoliated enough. The seeds looked great.

Next up was a bath whip with just the blueberry seeds. By the time I finished the test recipe I decide to give it a try. So, when I took my bath, I scrubbed my face with the seeded whip. Very disappointing. No scrubby feel to speak of. And, when I rinsed my face and looked at the water, all I saw were these little reddish seeds floating around, and of course sticking to my skin. hmmmmmm. Those adorable little seeds don't look so captivating anymore. :(

back to the drawing board.
