Caitie's recent November Used It post inspired me to do one of my own. It's my very first, and it's a little late, but here I go anyway.

  From Left to Right: Captain Blankenship Mantra Perfume Sample- I ran out of this dreamy sample almost immediately. After Jana heard about how much I liked this particular scent, she kindly offered to send me my own roll-on for free! My Christmas list just got a little shorter. Wash the Day Away Calming Chamomile Facial Elixir- Since...

Looking for some natural products for a dreamy man in your life? Well, look no further; I found several gems while putting together this list!

I don't know many men who moisturize, and I think it's a real shame.

I'm not gonna lie; the bright blue label is mostly to blame for this item's presence on this list.

The tea on the left pictured above is the raspberry leaf tea I usually buy. It's tasty and it always comes in handy a few days before my period, but it costs over 5 dollars for only 16 bags. The tea on the right is a box I picked up a T.J. Maxx while at the beach with my family. There are 50 bags in that tiny little box, and it only cost 4 dollars. Even better, this tea has both raspberry leaf and raspberry fruit, so...

Greetings from the beach, and try not to be jealous of the fact that I'm probably digging my toes into the sand and drinking something icy as you read this.  While I'm gone, I've scheduled a beach vacation themed post for each day. Today's post is obviously about sunscreen. Enjoy! After realizing that all three of my bottles of sunscreen were expired, I began looking for a safe and affordable replacement to bring with me to the beach. I researched my past purchases (the first three below) and several other sunscreens I've yet to try. Below are my findings, made (for...

1) My sad little cuticles could really use this hand salve, and I'm comforted by the short list of familiar ingredients. 2) A silk and organic cotton eye mask would make me feel extra fancy while I sleep. 3) This professional set of vegan makeup brushes would be a real upgrade from my current incomplete set.
