So, here’s a dress that I want:

I would feel like such a knockout in this dress!

Modcloth has some of the cutest dresses, and I kind of need this With Good Taste Dress.  I might feel compelled to wear it at least once a week.

Also, I’m going to convince Danielle to do a guest post about some henna that she’s been using…hopefully soon. She has beautiful hair, in case you didn’t know.  Get ready.

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):

Aveda products tend to have preservatives in them, but they work sooo well.

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:

This hand cream is paraben-free. It also has organic coconut, jojoba, and wheat germ oils in it.

The two following items having nothing to do with health and beauty, but I need the former (TOKYObay Sacchetto in Blue) and purchased the latter (Mossimo Supply Co. Juniors Sleeveless Floral Dress):

This bag is almost too cute to handle. I love a tiny purse.

This dress makes me want to go on a picnic. I love Target.

The Limited Edition Fiorella Fitflop in Bronze is my fave.

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 body.

I have a feeling that this stuff smells lovely.

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).

LunaPanties are made especially for period times!

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 they’re made with organic cotton (One day, when I’m wealthy, all of my clothes will be made from organic cotton).  Of all of the nifty things on this list, these panties are the item that I’ll most likely buy.  You should really check out the entire site. They have lots of cool things- rawganique

This dress is made from organic cotton too. Oh, boy!

The back is too cute.

3. Sun Applique Dress- I need more casual dresses in my closet. An impressive amount of my dresses can only be worn to weddings.

How fancy would using a brand called Glam Nation make you feel?!

4. Glam Nation Organic and Wild-Crafted Eye and Makeup Remover Lotion- I typically use olive oil to remove my eye makeup, and it works just fine…but I read some great reviews on this product.  Also, it has a zero hazard score on the Cosmetic Safety Database, and I like that.

I'm a sucker for pretty packaging.

5) Nothing Nasty Rose and Vanilla Lipbalm- Yeah, I know I’d be ordering it from the UK and shipping would be ridiculous…but this could be my new Minted Rose Lip Balm with better ingredients (another rating of zero, actually)!

I like this orangey shade of red A LOT.

6. Toms Red Newport Cordones- Everyone knows that Toms does good things for the world, and these shoes would do good things for my feet.

Painting my nails is a bad habit that I refuse to quit.

7. Zoya Matte Velvet Nail Polish in Veruschka-  This has to be better for me than Sally Hansen, right?

It's made for babies and kids, but adults get nappy hair too.

8. Babo Botanicals Berry Primrose Instantly Smooth Detangler-  Surprise surprise, it’s another zero.

Kiwi, pineapple, and passion fruit together at last.

9. Gold Machine Naked Juice- Putting juice on this list may seem silly since it is so cheap and easily attainable, but I can’t find this at any of the stores around these parts. If any of you guys have tried it, then let me know how awesome it was.

I have an obsession with animal necklaces. It hasn't become a problem yet.

10. Circle Fawn Necklace by Figs & Ginger-  These guys love the environment! See for yourself- Figs & Ginger’s Green Values

I stitched on tip of an old seahorse t-shirt. It's unoriginal, but I like it.

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

I'm excited to wear these.

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 first.

Cut Out for Fame Boots from Modcloth

Remember those boots from my  Christmas list? They made my toes want to throw up. Thus, I am returning them for store credit. With said credit, I will be purchasing the following:
