I got a $100 Amazon gift card for Christmas, and it took me all of five minutes to spend $80 of it. Wanna see what I got?

  Either none of my friends...

Along with the dreamy Rusalka Bath Salt, Jana also sent me five vials of her hand mixed perfumes to try.

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.

Link to Homemade Toothpaste, Love It or Leave It?

I recently read an article that put 5 Homemade Toothpaste Recipes to the test, and the author seemed to hate each and every concoction for one reason or another. I'm not sure I even gained any valuable information from the article, but it did leave me with the following questions: Does anyone like homemade toothpaste? Are there any recipes that aren't too salty, harsh, and/or nasty? Should we, as adults, sacrifice taste for performance? All the homemade toothpastes I've tried in the past don't freshen my breath as...

Hey friends, Today I thought I'd share some links with you guys that I've been enjoying lately. Here you go! Do you own any of the Three Essential Oils to Keep in Your Medicine Cabinet?

I can't wait to put baking soda to the test with blemishes, baths, and tummy aches! I am dying (an exaggeration) to try several of the Top Natural...

I've been favoriting/hearting things left and right on Etsy lately, and I just can't quit. Below are a few of my favorite health and beauty related discoveries. Good thing my birthday's coming up, right? I've always wanted to cook with lavender, and culinary lavender could make that happen so fast.
