Limited Edition Halloween Special from LUSH

 
Of course I was at LUSH today…of course I was. Of course I couldn’t leave the store without buying something…of course. Even though I broke my own “30 Day no non-essentials” rule to get it. Except for really soap is an essential if you think about it. Also I love pumpkin, so it had to […]

Gift Ideas

Since today is my wedding anniversary, well ours not just mine, I thought I would list a few things that are on my “Must Have” list. Chances are something might catch your eye and you can add it to your list as well. Maybe for yourself or maybe for someone else. I won’t judge. I’ve […]

Hot Apple Cider Bath Soak

Fall is my favorite time of the year. It’s also prime apple pie and apple cider season around here. Apples are great for your health in general but they are also great for your skin. A great cool weather bath soak that also smells divine uses grated apples, oatmeal and cinnamon. Roughly grate the apple and […]

The Great Pumpkin

 
Most people either love or hate Halloween. I hate it, like a lot. The hubs considers it his high holy day on the other hand. Our storage is currently filled to the brim with rubber rats and spiders, cauldrons and a fog machine. About the only thing I can get down with about the “holiday” […]

Ditch the Habit

 
Since there’s been this Ditch the Disposables Challenge we talked about the other day I thought I would share some great replacement options. I used to have a pretty powerful paper towel addiction. It was ugly. It took a serious re-wiring of my brain to adjust to not pulling a paper towel out for EVERY.SINGLE.THING. However, I […]

Saturday Etsy Fun

 
I told you all about the awesome soaps from Savor a while ago but I checked back today and saw some great things that I am in love with. She has a wonderful Olive Oil soap that is fragrance free, color and paraben free. It’s just nourishing Olive Oil Soap. I’m thinking about trying this […]

Make Your Own Bath Bomb

 
I love bath bombs, especially the ones from LUSH. Actually, truth be told, my husband is the one that really loves them. I take a bath about twice a year despite all my best intentions. I shower though…I don’t stink. Okay I do probably stink since I average about every other day with the showers. […]

More Salt Scrubs

As we approach the end of the summer I feel like I not only need to prep the house, I need to get my feet ready too. I’ve been wearing flip flops bascially every day all day for the last 4-5 months so I have been sloughing and softening my dawgs more often than normal. […]

Travel Solutions

I wanted to share one of my latest ETSY obessions with you. These wet bags are a simply fantastic solution for travelling, even just around town, with lots of lotions and tonics that tend to leak. I always use ziplock bags when I’m packing so they won’t leak on my clothes. That is after two […]

Lavender is All Around

Head over to TreeHugger today for some info on Pharmacopia’s Lavender Hand Cream. It’s hand cream, it has certified organic ingredients and it’s lavender scented. That’s everything, right? What else could you ask for? I have a love/hate relationship with lavender. It really depends on how strong it is and what mood I’m in. But […]
