It's the week before finals and, as you can probably imagine, I'm one busy little bee. Still, I thought you guys might wanna hit up the following: Use the code REPEAT2012 and get $15 off a full size bottle of perfume from A Perfume Organic. Green sounds like my kind of scent. Check out this post on caren's  blog, which includes helpful tips concerning which ingredients to avoid in your sunscreen and which foods may protect your skin from the sun. Sup, dark chocolate? Take it from the queen of crusty elbows: this cornmeal scrub is...

Link to A Few of My Favorite Things

When organizing my jewelry recently, it occurred to me that most of my favorite pieces are from various Etsy shops. It seemed only right to share the  shops with you guys, since I'm not one to keep a good thing to myself.

I won the sparrow and bird's nest necklaces, the blue rose earrings, and the cozy organic cowl in a giveaway on Sandy's lovely blog. The sparrow necklace and the rose earrings are from Sassy Lemonade; the...

Five Finds: Babies on the Brain

Link to Five Finds: Babies on the Brain

I'm 22 and still have a little over a year left of college. After that I hope to work and travel for a good 5 years before even thinking about being responsible for a tiny human (sometimes my dogs are enough to give me a headache, and all I do is bathe and feed them). However, most of my friends are several years older than I am and are in an entirely different stage of their lives. Since I've been to my fair share of baby showers lately, I've come across a few sweet gift ideas. I thought I'd share...

Link to Waxelene (The Petroleum Jelly Alternative) Review

Yeah yeah yeah, I get it. Vaseline is a miracle worker. The uses are endless. I've heard it all before, and I even moisturized with it once or twice before I knew any better. Unfortunately, as versatile as that little guy may be, it's petroleum jelly...meaning it's a petrochemical. That's a big deal breaker for me (regardless of the differing opinions on the matter), and it isn't doing any favors for the environment either. Why on earth would we want to coat our skin in something that has to...

Link to (Closed) Simply Bath Salts Review and Giveaway

Bath time is probably my favorite time of all, so I needed very little convincing when Justin from Simply Bath Salts contacted me about reviewing one of their products. After checking out their various scents and consistently impressive ingredients, I decided to go with the Clary Sage. I think it's safe to say that I made a solid choice. : ) Ingredients (provided at simplybathsalts.com)- "Atlantic Sea salt, Dead Sea salt, Epsom Salt, organic Jojoba oil, organic Clary Sage (Salvia sclarea) essential oil." Some great things...

Link to Merry Christmas to me!

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?

  I haven't shampooed my hair in months, and it's definitely healthier for it. Still, I can always get on board with something that will make my hair smell like something other than...hair. That's my one complaint with using only baking soda: it smells like nothing at all.  

  Either none of my friends...
