Birthday Sale!

Birthday Sale!!

My 31st birthday is this weekend (gasp! the horror!) - on May 13th, specifically, so it also coincides with Mother's Day this year.

And what did I ask for this year, for my birthday/Mother's Day? More soap supplies, of course! And then MORE soap supplies..... and still more soap supplies!

What I'd REALLY like for my birthday though? To be able to share more of our products with the world. So, we're offering a special birthday coupon code for this weekend, starting 12:01 AM EST Friday, May 11th through 11:59 PM EST Sunday, May 13th.

We've got handmade bath salts!

Yay! Bath Salts!

I'm so excited to finally say that we have a full, huge line of bath salts in stock in our shop!  It was a longer wait than I wanted to get an entire new product line, but we did it! Our bath salts are a blend of three different dead sea salts, epsom salt, and an extra-fine sea salt - and we have over 20 fragrances to choose from, with more arriving every day! One of my personal favorites is Sweet Mint, pictured above. It really helps me clear my head after a long day, and it's not too strong or too sweet. 

All of our bath salts come in a big 5 ounce jar, which is enough for 4-8 baths (depending on your taste and strength of fragrance preference, you could actually get up to 12 baths from it) and comes in a resealable sturdy plastic jar. Come by and check them out!

Mint Mojito Soaps are now in stock!

Mint Mojito Soaps are now in stock in our shop!

 

They were a little slow to arrive, but Mint Mojito is the newest scent in our lineup in our Etsy shop. It's a blend of sweet mint (peppermint and spearmint blend) and tangy-sweet lime (the green swirls). This is a great, refreshing summer scent and we know you'll just love it!

I got to test new Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner - and I am in love with my hair now!

So, I had the pleasure of trying out Garnier Fructis' new shampoo and conditioner from their Triple Nutrition line - for free! - through BzzAgent. I'm usually skeptical of new hair products, even shampoos and conditioners, because I have an awful combination of super sensitive skin (I'm allergic to everything!) and really fine, thin hair - so many shampoos, and especially conditioners, either give me a bad reaction, or make my fine hair look flat! I'm so thrilled to say that these products have totally blown me away with how awesome they make my hair look.

These are some of the benefits that Triple Nutrition offers:

• Work best on dry or damaged hair
• Nourish hair to the core so it shines from within
• Formulated with Fortified Fruit Science – three weightless nutritive fruit oils (olive, avocado and shea)
• Packed with ultra-rich and nourishing conditioners that rinse clean — we dare you to find something that treats your dry damaged hair better
• Part of a larger Triple Nutrition line that includes Nutrient Spray and 3-Minute Undo Dryness Reversal Treatment
• Have a suggested retail price of $3.99 (13 oz.) and $6.99 (25.4 oz.)
• Available at grocery stores, drug stores and mass retailers like Target and Wal-Mart

Again, I was really, REALLY skeptical. My hair is extremely dry and damaged, plus the aforementioned potential reactions and flat hair. The shampoo has a great lather, and really left my hair feeling clean AND sleek, and not at all tangled. The conditioner was very rich and thick - a little goes a VERY long way, unlike most rinse-out conditioners, and gave my hair a pretty glossy shine when dry. And, I had no bad reactions! They also smell AMAZING - a lot like apricot with some other fruity notes.

Those of you who have read my reviews before know I won't say something is great just because I got to try it for free! This is my completely honest review. I'm never changing back to my old shampoo and conditioner again, and I think everyone should give them a try!

We're in a new Etsy treasury!

Just wanted to share that our Dew Kissed Rose soaps were thoughtfully included in this sweet Etsy treasury of handmade bath stuff!
