I'm not sure if it's the finals I recently took, the fried food I've been eating constantly, or the holiday anticipation I'm still experiencing, but my skin has been acting out in the worst way. Sunday night I made this strawberry and honey face mask, and things seem to be finally looking up! I hope you guys treat yourself and give this mask a try. If you have some left, and you probably will, you'd be...
If the unthinkable happened and I were forced to own only a few personal care products...then I could probably successfully narrow it down to the following:
Baking Soda, Apple Cider Vinegar, Castile Soap, Argan Oil, Coconut Oil, Lavender Essential Oil.
What products can't you live without?

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.

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...
Along with the dreamy Rusalka Bath Salt, Jana also sent me five vials of her hand mixed perfumes to try. My nose can be pretty finicky (fickle, too, at times), but I was surprised to discover three whole scents I'd be happy to own in the future.
Ingredients (provided at captainblankenship.com)- All scents are made from a blend of essential oils in biodynamic grape alcohol from California, with the exception of Phosphorescent, which is made from a blend of essential oils and absolutes in biodynamic grape alcohol from California.

I get a milkshake newsletter every so often, and in one of the most recent ones I discovered a lovely little company called Captain Blankenship. After heading over to the very well-designed website to read about the products and their ingredients, I promptly emailed Jana and asked if she'd be willing to send me any samples to try. She said yes, and lucky little me waited patiently for their arrival. Today I'll be reviewing the Rusalka Bath Salt I received.
