Danielle and I made homemade bath soak for some of our friends and gave them away as Christmas presents this year. The scents that we ended up with were appropriately named Tangerine Raspberry, Lavender Vanilla, Lemon Jasmine, Lavender Spearmint, and Lavender Peppermint. We used old wine, whiskey, Irish cream, and gin bottles as containers, and the fact that we had ten of those with lids just lying around may make us seem like a bunch of lushes...but, in our defense, we have a lot...

Your eyes aren't playing tricks. That is a fancy Christmas vest that I'm wearing. Preparing to travel home, Christmas parties, Christmas shopping, Christmas crafting (which I will post about eventually), and fighting off a cold have been keeping me pretty busy lately. I honestly didn't have much time to throw together anything even kind of original today. Still, I think you guys should check out Care2's list of 20 Green Gift Ideas. There are some real winners here and there. I love a list that includes animal...

By the title, of course, I meant more environmentally friendly items for less money. It may not be clever or original, but it made me chuckle. And if you're usually broke like me, then you're gonna love re-nest's 25 Green Home Gifts Under $25. Before seeing this list, I actually purchased one of the items listed for Kirby as one of his smaller Christmas presents). I won't disclose which one, since Kirby may or may not read my blog sometimes (probably not). Anyway, how cute are those lavender sachets?! Annnd I don't hate that solid brass bicycle...

I've already mentioned to you guys a couple of things that are on my Christmas list- Soap-Making Supplies and Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry. Here are a few other awesome finds that made my list: 1) Debutante Face Scrubbies- I'm the kind of person who buys gifts for friends that I secretly want for myself. I bought my good friend, Selena, a set of these for her birthday not long ago. Ever since then, I've been longing for them. They're very reasonably-priced, and they come in a...
