Etsy has an abundance of treats!

I need to get a job stat! Otherwise, I'm going to spend all my money on pretty things from Etsy. Here are a few of my favorites (I'm loving yellows and golds right now; can you tell?): I wish that I had a birthday every month. I'm...

A Pretty Dress

With Good Taste Dress from Modcloth

I'm feeling pretty uninspired in the health and beauty department right now. I have a few products to review (including Karen's Botanicals Exfoliating Cleansing Grains and Dr Bronner's Lavendar Coconut Hair Conditioner & Style Creme), but I'd like to use them a few more times before posting my thoughts and feelings about them.  I could talk about more interesting articles that I've been reading, but I haven't really come across any more that are worth sharing. So, here's a dress that I want:

Hair Business and Vacation Purchases

Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner

My beach vacation has been pretty fly thus far.  I haven't spent much time at the beach (because of the nasty water and nasty tar balls), but our Condo is sufficiently sweet. There's a lazy river; how cool is that?! I've been avoiding shampoo altogether this week and using baking soda in its place. I've been conditioning with Aveda Rosemary Mint Conditioner (and my hair has never looked better): My mom bought me some Time & Again Organics hand cream today at a cute little shop.  It was seven dollars, and it smells like a dream:

Fiorella Fitflop Bronze

I think Fitflops are so cool! They're not entirely aesthetically pleasing, and they're not super cheap (from fifty to eighty dollars), but I can wear them while grocery shopping in place of ankle weights and not feel ashamed of myself.  I might just ask Kirby to hook me up with some of these for my birthday. In case you care: the benefits of Fitflops p.s. I have a feeling that the superbuff girl in the benefits picture didn't achieve that figure by walking in Fitflops. That's a model...

The Greenest List I’ve Ever Made

Demeter Naturals Mimosa Perfume

I've compiled a list of ten natural, green, and/or organic things that I wouldn't mind having. My birthday's in August. Har har. 1) Demeter Naturals Mimosa Perfume- Demeter Naturals fragrances are made from pure essential oils and have no Phthalates (put simply, Phthalates are chemicals that are intended to make scent last longer that are easily absorbed by our skin).

2) LunaPanties-Basically, they have organic cotton pads sewn into them.  The extra liner shown in the picture is for days with heavier flows.  I could easily make something like this at home, but I love that...

Summertime Craftiness

seahorse

It's summertime and I'm feeling crafty. I finally finished embroidering a seahorse that I started a few months ago.  One thing that I love about stitching is that it's like coloring for adults.  Now that I'm done, I have no idea what I'll do with it. I'll probably end up framing it; I can't think of anything cooler.

I also made some more headbands.  It took all of ten minutes.

I got bored and made a headband.

me

I've been really wanting a fancy headband in my life, but I'm a little broke right now.  Today I cut a flower out of an old dog shirt and sewed it onto an old headband with a button and some thread.  It was easy; it only took about ten minutes. I'd really like to make more, but I need to get my hands on some pretty fabric...
