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...
I couldn't have asked for better Christmas gifts than the ones given to me by my sister and my boyfriend. from Danielle:
From left to right and top to bottom- Rock Sugar, Bar Soap, Mustard Bath, Teavana Tea. The soap, sugar, and teas smell like a dream, and I cannot wait to use that mustard bath. and Kirby: L to R & T to B- Skin Tea,
To go along with yesterday's His Gift Guide, today I'll be sharing a few things for the ladies. FYI, I'd be as pleased as punch to own any of the following. Email me for my mailing address (just kidding if that's presumptuous). Buy it: Perfect Lotion, Water Bottle, Stress Soother, Infinity Wrap, YB Wine, Gift Cards. Wanna hit up this perfume...
If there's one thing that I am, then it's a habitual snacker. So obviously, when I was given the opportunity to review Hail Merry's blonde and choco macaroons, I took the appropriate steps to make it happen. The short list of familiar, organic ingredients were an initial reassurance, but they were the furthest thing from my mind once I tasted my first choco macaroon. Delicious might be an understatement, so let's say it was delicious^3. Chocolate has never tasted so good. And the blonde macaroons were just as tasty!...
I'm crazy about Etsy for too many reasons to count, but the excellent customer service that tends to accompany a small business is probably the greatest selling point for me. When I contacted Rebecca from Wash The Day Away to request a product to review, I was delighted by her quick and friendly response, as well as her willingness to also do a giveaway on Turby and John. Check back next week and see how you can win your own jar of the lovely body...
The final Persephenie product I'm reviewing is the one I was most excited to try. If I had to choose, it's also probably my favorite of the three, but I'm sure I've made it painfully obvious in the past that I'm a sucker for a hot bath.

This past Monday, it didn't suck to be outside. I didn't start sweating immediately, and the breeze was downright pleasant. Kirby and I celebrated by taking the dogs to the park, and I couldn't help getting excited about all things fall-related. Below are five organic and/or eco-friendly items I'd gladly wear this fall.
How adorable is this acorn & pine cone necklace? This answer is very. It's also handmade with 100% reclaimed metal!
A long hot bath is one of my absolute favorite indulgences, and my new tub of Abra Therapeutics Cellular Detox Body Scrub is a great product to have for such an occasion.

The tea on the left pictured above is the raspberry leaf tea I usually buy. It's tasty and it always comes in handy a few days before my period, but it costs over 5 dollars for only 16 bags. The tea on the right is a box I picked up a T.J. Maxx while at the beach with my family. There are 50 bags in that tiny little box, and it only cost 4 dollars. Even better, this tea has both raspberry leaf and raspberry fruit, so...
