This Stuff Works

I have been wanting to try some products from the This Works line forever. I have heard good things about their bath and body oils so I went on a hunt to get some for myself. Unfortunately other things caught my eye first…damn. So I ended up with This Works Turbo Balm and umm, I think […]

Jurlique Citrus Hand Cream

This month from Saffron Rouge I got a nice little sampler of Jurlique products. I have only had to chance to actually try the Citrus Hand cream and I absolutely LOVE it. So lux and creamy, it left my hands feeling really soft but not greasy.They do not have a rating on Skin Deep but you can […]

Crushworthy

 
I am so all about body scrubs especially ones with brown sugar. This one from Nature Girl looks so incredible I think I might eat it if it was in my shower. I used to have a sugar scrub WAY back in like the 90’s that I was obsessed with. I couldn’t possibly tell you the […]

Bar Soap a Go-Go

Here’s a great article over at Planet Green about what to look for in soaps and why it pays to make your own soap. It’s no secret that I loves me some soaps. Etsy, The Bubble Roome, LUSH, etc., it just makes me v. happy. I just simply don’t have the time or energy to […]

Smells Like Teen Spirit

 
Nothing reminds me of summer and my teen years like the smell of the ocean rolling in in the morning and Vanilla musk. I don’t know what it is with teenage girls and vanilla. I think it’s written into our genetic code or something. All 15 year old girls must smell like sugar cookies and […]

Greasing Up Baby

Kids are weird.
They are odd, little people that live in your home. One day they’re these larval, immobile creatures with floppy heads and tiny mouths. Then, suddenly, they’re walking, talking little humans capable of saying “MAMA!” as they stare at your husband.
Strangely, they need much of the same things we do. Food. Shelter. Moisturizing.

Put Your Hand Down…You Shouldn’t Be That Sure

I would love to live in a world of flower-filled fields, where all of my bodily functions could be controlled by daisies and pretty thoughts. In this fantasy land, bees would gladly give me little parcels of honey, my headaches could be controlled with the dew from a lily, and the crisp, fresh air would […]

You Build Me Up Buttercup

On my Monday wish list at the top is Malie’s Natural Mango Butter Cup. It’s an amazing bar of body silkifying goodness that looks absolutely perfect for the summer. It’s made with mango butter, cocoa butter, vitamin E and turmeric. It’s heat activated so it gets better in this kind of weather. You may not […]

Dads and Dropouts

Father’s Day is around the corner so I thought I might suggest something for anyone looking for ideas. I always find the way they market Father’s Day to be terribly cheesy and somewhat condescending. It’s always about some ties, a bunch of tools and fart jokes. How about we change it up a bit. I […]
