Quick Storage Tip for Bath Bombs

Just wanted to share this cute storage tip. I am a bath bomb addict- so i decided to take old apothecary looking jars (that had been my grandmothers) and decided to fill them with bath bombs. The result was a colorful and fun storage idea- and it keeps the bathbomb fresh and free from getting all damaged in my product drawers!

Added note:  The smaller jar to the right is holding soap curls- bars of soap that you take a knife to and curl up. Guests can take one and use them- they dissipate when washing and they’re super cute!

The bathbombs at the top are from Basin & Basinwhite of Disney world fame. The bottom, lush cosmetics, doctor sweet tooth and various etsy shops!

Spotlight on: THE US LAUNCH OF GLOSSYBOX!

When i first decided to become a blogger, i watched a TON of youtube videos. Almost immediately i realized that everyone i watched, every blog i read, were loyal to some subscription box service. The idea behind these box services is that you pay a monthly flat fee and receive goodies once a month. Some of the subscription services are really hit -or- miss. I spent $18.00 on a box that arrived late, was full of junk i’d never use- and i swore i’d never do it again….unless Glossybox, a German based subscription service, ever came to the united states.

Glossybox has a huge UK following. I watched a youtuber review their recent harrod’s glossy box, and after seeing the quality of the products, the quantity of the products, and the service the individual received, i was chomping at the bit to get it here in the US. I jumped on their waitlist in hopes of someday seing them launch.

Then, one morning, in only what i can call a cosmic miracle, i checked my inbox to find an email that had the words “Glossybox” in the subject. I thought the day had finally come where i could sign up for the service! I jumped out of bed and turned on the computer, credit card in hand to order. It was actually an email from a wonderful GlossyBox representive who asked if i had ever heard of glossybox. Images of makeup and product sample possibilities dance in my head at night, so naturally i shared my desire for Glossybox to come to the U.S with the wonderful Adrianne.

That’s when she told me. GLOSSYBOX IS LAUNCHING IN THE UNITED STATES. I REPEAT: GLOSSYBOX IS ARRIVING IN THE U.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The powers that be have sent me my own box, which was free of charge. I am honored to be one of the first to receive it. After playing around with the products (without being swayed by Glossyboxes generosity) I intend on being one of the first in line to sign up for this service (as was my intention all along).

My box arrived way ahead of schedule. I got the shipping info this morning and by this afternoon it was on my front doorstep, which is impressive. The box was well packed, with no leaks, and the box itself is awesome. I would suggest reusing it — i already am using it to hold stationary! I love to write letters, and the box is super fancy. I was shocked to see that almost all of the six products i received were full size products!

Here is what was inside, as well as my first impressions and thoughts about each product.

1) OPI nailpoolish in “Kiss me on my tulips”.

This was by far one of the products i was REALLY excited about. I immediately recognized the brand name, and before i even unwrapped the rest of the box i was bounding up the stairs in search of nailpolish remover (to get rid of the other nailpolish i had on) and eagerly paining my nails. I don’t own any O-P-I polishes, so this was my first. Glossybox, you don’t know what you started! I have two new puppies and i have to constantly pick them up, put them down, play with them, rub them- etc. My nailpolish normally chips within a few minutes of putting it on. I put it on my nails and it dried quickly enough for me to grab a puppy with a runaway sock- without chipping. The color is a phenomenal hot pink color that is PERFECT for summer! The price of this product is normally $8.50

2. BASQ Cucumber Tea Eye Gel

This product was fairly interesting. I LOVE eye gels because 1) they de-puff tired eyes (and as a student and new puppy owner, ive always got tired eyes!) and 2) because when you store it in the refrigerator and put it on your eyes it feels amazing. When i first smelled this product it smelled vaguely familiar. I couldn’t figuire out what it was, but it certainly wasn’t cucumber tea. Then, i remembered. During my days moonlighting as a Physical Therapy aide we used this stuff called: BIOFREEZE. It smells exactly like it. Some people might be turned off by this, but it didn’t bother me much. It felt really nice and didn’t irritate my already sensitive skin. This product is normally $24.00, and the subscription is 21.00- so if i had paid for it, the box would have already paid for itself!

3. C.O Bigelow: Lavender and Peppermint Body Lotion

Lavender essential oils have two purposes: softening your skin and relaxing you. Peppermint has a couple uses that are similar- though it’s also used for aches and pains, relaxation and soothing your skin. Personally, i like it a lot. The packaging is really like an old school apothecary, the smell does it’s job, and it’s moisturizing but NOT greasy. Also, peppermint tends to be a natural bug repellent, so it’s nice to be able to go outside with the dog and not be chased by every bug in New Jersey! This product is originally $12.00 and came in a full size bottle.

4. Cargo’s EyeBronzer

This is not an eyeshadow, but i used it as one. After researching it a little more i found that it was actually just shimmer for inner/outer corners and can also be used with the felt tip applicator as a shadow liner. Regardless, it is highly pigmented and very good quality. It seems to be a fairly new product, so i was excited to try it. Even though it has shimmer in it, it didn’t bother my eyes. It has Kaolin clay in it, so it goes on very smoothly and just by wearing it you are improving your skin! This product is normally 22.00! Again, it was a full size, and the box has ALREADY paid for itself.

5. Erno Laszlow’s “Hollywood Collection”.

These were sample sized skin care moisturizers. The full size original product is about $122.00, so if it wasn’t in my box for free, i probably wouldn’t have thought to buy it. After trying it, however, i do really like it. I used the night cream as i have sun burn on my skin (oops). It’s a higher-end product typically sold at Bergdoff-Goodman. The best thing about this product? They don’t test on animals!!! 🙂 Just hearing this makes me REALLY happy Glossybox included this product. I am much more likely to purchase this  after having tried it and researched it.

6. Kryolan High Gloss Brilliant Lip Shine (Toffee)

The color was not for me at all. I’m pale, and this nude color is not attractive on me- but the formulation of the product itself is FLAWLESS.  It’s a professional makeup company that is typically used by drama students and professionals, so i was happy to be able to try it. It’s really nicely pigmented, and i even decided to purchase this item in a different color. It stayed on for quite a few hours after applying it- and didn’t get all over the puppies faces when i was giving them tons of puppy kisses!  The price of this product is $18.00

The value of the items of this box totaled : $209.50

The value of the glossybox normally (again, i received this free of charge!) is normally $21.00 a month.

After trying the products, seeing the quality of the Glossybox itself, and interacting with their representatives and customer service teams- I am DEFINITELY singing up for this service. Nothing compares. Trust me, i’ve used other services and cancelled every single one.

Keep in mind that mother’s day is just around the corner. Why not pamper mom 12 months out of the year with a glossy box subscription instead of just one day? It makes a great gift.

upcoming reviews & giveaway news

So i’ve been a little bit off on my  posting, and i totally apologize. This is probably one of the toughest times in my life and i’ve got three weeks left in my final semester before i graduate- or find out if i graduate. So i’m really plunkering down and getting things done.

I do plan on releasing a post about the essie polish i received for free from Toms shoes, in Barefoot Blue, on the 9th in support of going barefoot on April 10th, which i will give you more information about. (When my new toms arrive!)

My april giveaway is going up this weekend.

I also had some super awesome etsy transactions that i’m dying to tell you about (or rather, show you!) when they arrive. I also had exclusive access to new diamond candle scents that were released, so keep your eye out for that next week sometime. I’ve got to tell you that im absolutely dying to show you these two bangles i purchased from this super awesome etsy shop. I’ll tell you more about that next week.

As soon as i receive my glossybox for the U.S debut i will also post about that. Since so many are curious about the conscious box, i’ll post that too, but i caution you that i have already cancelled my subscription to them.

If i tend to get quiet around the 15th of the month, keep up with the contest and i’ll be announcing the winner on April 28th.

I’m still looking for :

a) Suggestions about what product you guys want to win or are dying to try.

b.) great etsy companies (or artfire, or whatever avenues that are out there for handmade bath and body)

C) Any requests for product reviews or new posts? I was thinking about doing a “my favorite THINGS” blog or a blog about some of my coach products- or both, or a whats in my bag. These are all in my idea book on top of product reviews that will be coming up soon!

Spotlight on: Nars

I lost my NARS virginity last week, and my lips may never be the same again. I spent hours last week playing colors, creating new looks, and reading up on NARS. While i typically lean towards handmade and organic cosmetics, i can’t deny the true quality of NARS. I find that NARS lipsticks, though rather expensive, are made with Vitamin E, which makes them moisturizing. Best of all- it’s paraben and lead free- and the colors are long lasting. I had low expectations of a brand name lipstick, thinking that 24.00 was WAY too much to spend on one lipstick. Then, this happened:- one turned into five. Of course, i did my research and found as many sale colors as i could.   

Wearing the lipstick felt so right! Since I am “the other white meat” (bugs love to bite me in the spring and summer, much like people flock to eating chicken) and I have moody eyes that change often (my license may say green, but my eyes are hazel and or blue)- i thought it was best to go with a mauve for my pink color and a copper for my red.

My first pick was a total miss. I gave that color away because it was such an apricot color (Beautiful Liar). My second pick was a retired nars color called petit monstre- not a bad pick. I’ll definitely wear it. I also picked up “Sexual Healing” and “Catfight”, both of which i totally love and have worn quite a bit in recent days. My last pick, Gipsy, might have been a total rip off. I ordered off Amazon and it didn’t come in Nars packaging- so i had to complain to the company, when i found that it wasn’t send from MARS but an independent seller. Gotta love it- the bottom was NARS, and the product seemed to be- but i can’t be positive.

Regardless, it was life changing. My eyes are always intense, so i like muted lips- and these lipsticks really did the trick for me. Plus, when i’m stressed (which i can’t even begin to tell you how stressed i am- i graduate college in 26 days! EEK!) i tend to get like, super chapped lips for some reason. This lipstick improved the quality of my puckers for sure.

My grading on NARS Lipsticks is a solid B+. Here’s why:

1) It’s impossible to pick the color off of sephora and or amazon- the colors are totally misrepresented there. I also don’t have any beauty stores near here. I live in a small town at the Jersey Shore- so yeah, not happening.

2) The packaging, though I understand that they are industry icons, was SUPER excessive. It was like, a box, within a box, within a box. Save a tree. One box. The lettering was however, totally beautiful and sleek.

3) For such an expensive lipstick, you get very little price.

Other than that, the product is great. The formula works well and there are many different options. I love that NARS is an industry icon and that they don’t use harmful materials in their lipsticks.

 

 

I could not get any good swatch pictures, and my camera deleted all the pictures i took of them on my lips- so excuse the amateurish photo of my pale hand and the swatching—

1. Gipsy

2. CatFight

3. Sexual Healing

4. Petit Monstre

5. Beautiful Liar

Spotlight on: Solid Perfume

One of the tricks I learned from working at a beauty store is that your perfume can come in many forms: eau de parfum, eau de toilette, perfume oil, and my favorite:solid perfume. The reason I love solid perfume so much is that it is the longest lasting form of a perfume, works on a sort of “time release” schedule, and its small enough to throw in my purse. Best of all, I don’t have to stress out over whether or not it will cause oil stains in my purse, or if I will break the bottle. The solid perfumes that I purchased come in a small metal tin, clearly labeled and easy to apply.

Solid Perfume is made of beeswax, when it’s introduced to the temperature of your skin it will melt into it. As your body heats up throughout the day, it will emit all the different bases of the perfume. One of the best brands of solid perfume that i’ve tried is Doctor Sweet Tooth’s. Right now, because it’s spring, I decided to go with Floral Bloom. This one actually doesn’t even smell like flowers, which is great because I have such bad allergies in the spring when it comes to flowers (and cut grass!). Flower Bloom has some floral notes- freesia, jasmine, orchid and rose- but it also has orange, bergamot, tea- all blended with patchouli. It doesn’t sound like something I would ever use, but when I smelled a sample of it I fell in love with it! I also loved the Rock Candy Star, which is a lush dupe and has an infusion of bubblegum, berries, vanilla and soda pop. My all time favorite scent, as many of you have read, is the Conversation Hearts which has peach, sweet tarts, raspberry, orange, and vanilla. It really is amazing!!

I also just purchased some from Skinny Dip Soaps- so you will see a review of that in the coming weeks! 🙂

Additionally, I wanted to thank all of my readers who are participating in the giveaway and following me. I got an awesome opportunity to review the new U.S launch of the Glossybox which should be appearing in the next couple weeks. I’m honored to be part of this, and it only happened because you guys are so awesome! Don’t forget to tell me about your good deeds, i’ll be announcing the winner around midnight tonight so make sure all your posts are in by 11:59 EST!

You know you are a product junkie when…….. (and GIVEAWAY details!)

I decided to clean my workspace last night because when my room is cluttered i have a difficult time studying. I feel like i’m out of focus and can’t seem to get a handle on classwork right now. I was watching an interview today with Julia Roberts and she discussed the “culture of mean-ness”, i couldn’t have said it better myself. We live in a culture or a time period where we are intent in allowing our words and personal attacks harm others when it’s so simple to just make them feel good. Which then reminded me about the contest going on— don’t forget to tell me what nice things you are doing so you can be entered into the contest to win a 50.00 gift card to either sephora or lush (click me for details)! I only see six entries so i challenge everyone to do something extra-special tomorrow!! Today i wrote a super heartfelt letter to one of my favorite beauty guru’s who is having a tough time getting through the loss of a loved one. The loss of a young person is inherently tragic- and has shaped my own life so i can only imagine the hardships she may face.

Anyway, while cleaning my room i broke it down into the amount of stuff i had- and when i calculated it in terms of dollars, it was well around $5,000 dollars worth of stuff. When i woke up this morning to a spotless room i felt good, but found an application to hoarders on AETV taped to my boxes of skincare. I get the picture- i was on a use 20 products and spend nothing fix prior to this- but now i am not purchasing a single thing until every bottle is gone. I mean, i’ve got thirty bottles of perfume (most of which i wouldn’t wear) and more body butters than i could use in 15 years. The good news is most of it came from free samples or giveaways at work. Still, its a lot and i feel so bad that theres so much! EEK!

I’m waiting on my last nars lipstick to arrive to do a review on that and the romantic eye palette from too faced cosmetics, which i used and LOVED, but i’m not sure how i feel about it’s price – as  i feel you could go drugstore brand and get the same colors. We shall see! Thanks for reading, and please let me hear about the good things you are doing!

week #5- my favorite products!

I decided that I just have SO many products that i’m going to start shopping what I have and telling you about what I love ( or don’t love) until I use up ten products. I’ve used two products so far! I’ll keep you updated on project re-shop in the coming weeks.

This is a photo of 13 of my favorite products that I think are truly fantastic- I will go through each one and link them here.

#1) Urban Kitchen Soy 6 Ounce Candle in French Vanilla and Coconut Verbana.- This candle is made of handpoured soy wax and is held in a tin can wrapped in decorative paper. $8.00 on etsy. I’m sentimental so I love that my brother gave me this candle for my birthday, but at the same time it reminds me of this candle my grandmother used to have. I love the scent, and have got quite some use out of it. I love that it burns more cleanly than my brand-name candles. I also love that it is soy. The scent really permeates the whole house!

#2) Toothy Tab from Lush- I wasn’t sure whether or not I should share this product, because I did decide not to review some other Lush Products. However, the toothy tabs are pretty awesome. I have been using them for only a few weeks and they make my mouth feel so clean. The taste is a little overpowering and might make you sick, but other than that, the product itself is awesome! At 3.95 for a box of 50 tablets, I would totally suggest trying them!

#3) Brush Set- Every Glamour Girl needs a great brush set. I accumulated quite a few from the Body Shop that were great quality, but I wanted a whole set when I was interested in getting into the industry. This particular set, I don’t know how much it was because it was a gift, but it came with 12 brushes and sells on amazon.com for about 25.00. Not bad! Plus, they’re so easy to wash.

#4) WEN Hair Care- You guys know how I feel about WEN. If you don’t, check out my first week of reviews. Wen is about 34.00 a bottle, so it’s a little expensive. However, if you use it properly your results will be phenomenal!

#5) Flirt Eyeshadow from Kohls.com in Birthday Cake- $13.50- This is a really great highlighter color for your face, but I also love it as an eye shadow. I have deep set eyes so it’s often difficult to have makeup showup on my skin, but this color and formula really is to die for.

#6) Raspberry Lemonade Body Butter- This is my favorite product of ALL TIME. Little Egg Harbor Soap Co’s Raspberry Lemonade Scent is the most wonderful thing I have ever smelled in my life. LOVE it. Sadly, this $9.50 item has been discontinued for the time being. SAD!

#7) Kokonut Kandle- $8.00 on http://www.laurascountrycandles.com/Home/tabid/36/List/1/CategoryID/3/Category2ID/6/Level/2/Default.aspx

However, I paid 10.00 at another store that sold these. I love this candle because it melts down into a lotion. It is a soy candle, which means it burns relatively smoothly. The scents are fantastic too!

#8) Rock Candy Dry Shampoo from Doctor Sweet Tooth- $9.95 and comes in MANY different scents. I love this dry shampoo. I’m someone who was washing their hair 2 times a day, everyday. I hated the way my hair looked after long hours. I hated the powdery look of some other dry shampoos and baby powders- but I find that if I use a big foundation brush and brush this product into my hair it truly makes a difference. Another scent I like is the conversation hearts, available on the etsy site or at www.doctorsweettooth.com! Love it!

#9) Sweet Treat Eye Shadows- $5.00 a pot. Www.sweettreatcosmetics.com- This vegan friendly handmade eye shadow is fantastic. My favorite is the purple plum, but all of them go on really smoothly and stay on fairly long! You can order 1.00 samples, and you get a fair amount to use!

#10) Mask of Magnaminty -Lush- This item was pretty expensive- I think the full size is 30.00- but I got the small size for 15.00 and it works well. I like the feeling the mint in the mask gives my skin. I also use it on blemishes and possible break outs. It is available from http://www.lush.com

  1. Rock Candy solid perfume- www.doctorsweettooth.com, $8.95- LOVE this product. The idea behind solid perfume is that as your body tempeture rises the wax will melt and give off the specific scent. It is long lasting and if I had to pick an absolute favorite, this item would be it! 
  2. /makeup forever hd prime
  3. makeup forever hd foundationBoth of these products are fairly expensive, but they are the BEST foundation and BEST primer I have ever used. I have tried every foundation under the sun to find one that wont make me break out badly or irritate it. Most foundations have illuminators in it, which my skin is allergic to. This primer and foundation not only provide you with fantastic coverage, it really doesn’t make me break out at all! I paid about $50.00 total for both at sephora and would recommend this to EVERYONE!

    Comment below if you’ve ever tried one of these!

Week 2.5 – DOCTOR SWEET TOOTH.

This is Week #2.5 because i couldn’t wait another week to tell you about the products i received.

I’ve been on the hunt for a really good scented, handmade body lotion ever since Little Egg Harbor Soap Company got rid of their Raspberry Lemonade. So i took to Youtube, checked out some hauls, and up came a video about a company called Doctor Sweet tooth- which can be found on ETSY as well as http://www.doctorsweettooth.com. Upon checking out their website- and many, many others, i decided to try this company out. They had a lot of appealing flavors, most of which do not say “limited edition” or “seasonal”, which made me really happy. That means i wont have to go searching every season for someone still carrying my favorite scent! Nothing annoys me more than when company’s have a great product, and they discontinue it!

What i loved about Doctor Sweet Tooth was that it’s home made, good for sensitive skin, appeals to many different age groups through their scents, has a variety of products, and MOST importantly it is parabens free. I can’t stress to you guys enough how bad parabens are to your skin. This ingredient is meant to give the products long shelf lives, and interacts with the alcohol in a way that drys out your skin terribly. I’m not sure if this is a ploy by major companies to dry out people’s skin and make them continuously buy their favorite lotion, or what!

Here’s what i ordered the first time around-
1 2oz Gummy Bears Body scrub
1 Raspberry Lemonade Whipped foot scrub
1 Hazelnut Bath bomb
1 8oz Pink Lemon Milk Bath.

It’s really hard to pick which was my favorite. I LOVED the Raspberry Lemonade Whipped foot scrub. I go to the beach year round, and where i’m from people tend to wear flip flops all the time, regardless of whether or not the snow is on the ground. The Whipped Foot Scrub is definitely a product that will keep me coming back. I tried it, and i really like the consistency of it. It lathers a little bit, smells fantastic, and has just the right amount of pumice in it. It may be a luxury item, but its REALLY well priced.  To give you a comparison, the body shop sold a similar (smaller product) for 15.00.  Doctor Sweet Tooth charged 10, and shipping was free. It’s really a fantastic product, and i honestly wouldn’t have minded if it were more expensive, it was totally worth it!  I should mention, since this blog is relatively new, that Product Junkie Girl is a college student, so i am broke as a joke. You will not find any outrageously priced items here, unless i somehow get my hands on a sample!
I love Hazelnut- the smell is so clean, reminds me of coffee, and therefore reminds me of family get gatherings, or meeting up with my best friend for a cup of coffee and chatting away about our lives. The Bath bomb was to die for. I learned a trick a few years ago to make these ginormous bath bombs smaller, so that you get more bang for your buck. Just throw the bomb (IN PLASTIC- OR ELSE YOU WILL GET STUFF EVERYWHERE!) against a really hard surface. Try not to dent anything, especially if you live in your parents house. I take no responsibility for any property damage or skin issues that may result from any of these products- not that i think there will be any. Anyway, the hazelnut bath bomb was really nice. It was not as oily as some of the others i’ve tried, but i also didn’t use the whole thing.
I have to say, i didn’t like the pink lemons scent, but that’s my own fault. I thought it would be like Pink Lemonade and it wasn’t. However- my mom liked it, and i share a bathroom with 3 other people, so if i don’t use it they will. I did enjoy the consistency of the product, and overall it didn’t leave me feeling oily or itchy. Some bath products do that to me. I have extremely sensitive skin.
The Gummi-Bear Body Scrub is fan-freaking-tastic. Based on your skin type, you can pick your own consistency- and i like mine to be a little more oily than sugar filled. I’m not dry, but i like the oil. Another trick i learned in the business is to use an oil product- whether its body scrub, or baby oil mixed with another perfume oil -which doctor sweet tooth sells, and use that instead of shaving cream. Depending on the size of the granules in the scrub, and whether or not it’s sugar, it may make the razor more dull. However, the oil makes the razor glide more smoothly and gives you a closer shave. Go ahead and try that. Let me know what you think! I just loved this product for that reason.
On a side note- while surfing Doctor Sweet Tooth’s website, i found that their body washes are SLS (sodium lauryl sulfate) free. Sometimes, this is referred to as “soap free”, but it’s a chemical that creates a lather and also dries out the skin. It’s known to eat away at the protein structure of your skin, which causes a degeneration of the protection layers and ultimately makes you more susceptible to skin/uv damage. Feel free to google that. That’s the gist of that one.

So after receiving my package- I placed the order last saturday, and received it today (Friday), i got this sample of a “solid” perfume called Rock Candy, which i hope is the same as Rock Candy Star, since i ordered it today! Anyway, i loved it- i tried it at about 3pm, and it still smelled at 8 pm. The theory behind solid perfume is that its materials- which sometimes include (and in this case do include) beeswax, soybean , and in some other cases cocoa butter- give off scents the warmer you are. Cocoa butter naturally melts at skin temperature (unless you live in an igloo.)  This is beneficial for those of us who live active lifestyles- the warmer you get, the more the oil gives off its scent. Loved it!

Like i mentioned, i placed another order today, as Doctor Sweet Tooth was having a sale. I ordered a perfume sampler, the solid perfume, Dry shampoo, more body scrub, and a dry oil. There were other products, but i am most excited to try the dry shampoo- smell the different scents, and get the Conversation hearts dry oil. When i was younger, my grandmother used to bring over the necco conversation hearts every year on Valentines day. Since she is no longer with me, and i can’t have candy (i’m on a strict diet- i promised one of my favorite cousins i’d loose weight for her wedding!) i thought this would be a very sweet way to remember someone who i love dearly, and “carry” her with me. I can’t even tell you how excited i was to find this product on etsy.

For those of you who are looking to find out more about Doctor Sweet Tooth, i urge you to seek out the products. Try some. Try them all. Tell me what you loved. Tell me what you didn’t (within reason. Nasty comments on this blog are at my discretion and will be deleted. Blog Reviews are at my discretion, but i will gladly take them down if any of the companies ask me to do so.)  These reviews are my own personal opinions, taken from my own personal experience.

On a side note, i really loved that i could post a question on Doctor Sweet Tooth’s facebook page, and i received a quick response. Most of the comments on the page reflected my own sentiments- fantastic products, great customer service, fast turn around. Overall, this company deserves an A+ in my book. I did read some complaints about the size of the “free sample”. To those people i say, shush, before you ruin it for everyone. Nobody has to offer free samples. I also hope they realize they don’t need THAT much of the solid perfume- a little bit goes a long way!

For more information on Doctor Sweet Tooth, feel free to check out:
http://www.doctorsweettooth.com/   where you will find links to follow the company’s facebook page, as well as their multitude of bath, body and home products.

For the Etsy fans of the world: http://www.etsy.com/shop/doctorsweettooth which is where i found the conversation hearts oil. Will let you know how i like everything next week, even though i will be featuring a new company!

Last but not least- I LOVE LOVE LOVE that there is a special line for the puppies! Oreo can only use the remaining WEN mint products, because a lot of stuff dries out her coat and makes her shed like CRAZY. I’m interested in seeing how she would like the dog care line. If it would stop snowing here in New Jersey, i’d take her to the beach for a fun day, and then try some of the product!
