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...
Thanks, Coastal Classic Creations. I enjoy smelling like a snow cone.
photo credit: GilmourCreative I ordered a small bag of trial size items from Coastal Classic Creations a few months ago. I have yet to actually review any of the products, but I did post about liking the trial size light to medium concealer while I was sunburned and on the beach with my family. I will eventually get around to posting thorough...
This Works: Stretch Mark Oil Review
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, product review, skin care
Remember the treats that I talked about in one of my recent posts? Well, I decided that it was time to review one of the health and beauty related products from that post. This Works: Stretch Mark Oil is kind of rocking my world right now. Before I get to the reviewing business, I should probably make it known that I've never used stretch mark oils or vitamin E oils as directed. Most directions suggest using these oils five or six times a day to achieve optimal results. My few lingering stretch marks left over from puberty don't...
Tea Tree Oil is a pretty effective deodorant.
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, physical well-being, skin care
I've been swiping a little tea tree oil under my arms for the past few days with a cotton swab instead of using deodorant, and I think I'm going to make a habit of it. The strong licorice-reminiscent scent fades within ten minutes, and it keeps me smelling fresh until nightfall. I was a pretty huge fan of the homemade deodorant that I'd been using, but I feel better about putting tea tree oil on my skin than baking soda, and tea tree oil leaves no white residue.
And another thing:
Have I mentioned how pumped I am...
I kind of love my new bathroom.
When we first moved in, I was a little bummed out about how small our bathroom was, but I'm starting to think that it's perfect. It has so many things that I love in a bathroom: lots of counter space, even more cabinet space, a built in towel rack, and a fan.
The top shelf is stuff that we rarely use. The second and bottom shelves are mine, and I gave Kirby the third shelf down. It's somewhat eye level. I figured it'd be a nice gesture since I got more shelves that he did. That's Kirbys Aussie conditioner on...Treats, Treats, and More Treats

Glass bottles make me smile.
Filed under: DIY, health and beauty, homemade, natural products, skin care
I'm just gonna go ahead and warn everyone: this post is about to be a link fest. The pretty glass bottle that my Burt's Bees Vitamin E Body & Bath Oil came in has inspired me to buy more glass bottles for storing homemade health and beauty products. My friend Chuck told me about two really neat websites where I can find glass bottles for next to nothing (SKS Bottle & Packaging, Inc. & Sunburst Bottle Company), and I'm pretty pumped about it. The first two projects that I plan to fill some bottles...
Linalool, friend or foe?
Filed under: health and beauty, natural products, physical well-being, skin care
photo credit: miltedflower I mentioned linalool in my recent post about perfume, but I didn't really expound upon why it should be avoided because I hadn't done much research at that point (aside from the articles that I linked to in the post). My curiosity was stirred once again while reading the ingredients to Danielle's seemingly harmless body oil. Upon seeing the ingredient "linalool" listed, I immediately did some research. Linalool earns a hazard...
Partially-Crystallized Honey Lip Scrub
photo credit: Roberto Verzo My lips were feeling kinda crusty (probably from me being in the sun and putting tea tree oil on them when I had that spot of poison ivy), so I used the same local honey that I've been using to sweeten my Perfectly Pear Tea to scrub my lips. The honey was/is beginning to crystallize, so I figured that it would exfoliate well..and it did! I coated my lips in...
