  Caitie from Naturalla Beauty recently replied to my Red Lips on a Budget post suggesting I try Lip & Cheek Colors, and fortunately I listened to her. Here's my review!

Link to Red Lips on a Budget

Remember the red lipstick I included in my recent Five Finds for Swimsuit Season post? Well, I wasn't playin'.  I really do want a bright red lipstick, and fast.

Link to Foody Friday: Budget Bytes, A Broke Girl’s Best Friend

In last Friday's post about my favorite food blogs, I completely forgot to mention one of my absolute favorites: Budget Bytes! Budget Bytes is full of simple recipes that cost very little to make, and many of them are healthy to boot! Each recipe includes the average cost for the entire recipe as well as the average cost per serving. For an unemployed student such as myself (ie: busy and usually overwhelmed), this blog is kind of amazing. Lately, Kirby and I have been...

Link to Made from Earth Lip Balm Reviews

As my product reviews have become more in depth, I've grown accustomed to reviewing a single product at a time. I find it's easier to be thorough this way. However, after trying my two new Made From Earth Lip Balms, I decided to review them together. They're so similar in performance, ingredients and price that it just made sense. Ingredients (provided at madefromearth.com)- Citrus Fresh Lip Balm- ", , , Organic Essential Oils of , ...

  I purchased a bottle of Dr. Bronner's Lavender Coconut Hair Creme around last July, but I guess it got lost in the abyss that is my bathroom cabinet. I ended up giving it to at some point, and then it really wasn't a concern of mine. I'm not sure what reminded me of it, but here I am with a very late review. Ingredients (provided at drbronner.com)- "Water, Organic Coconut Oil*, Organic Ethanol, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Hemp Oil, Organic Lavender...

Link to Easy to Make, Eco-Friendly Dryer Sheets

Remember this post? Well, I took a bit of the article's advice and have been making my own dryer sheets for the past few loads of clothes. It's a real treat for my nose, and it's super simple! If you want to make your own, then you'll need the following:   One or two drops of the essential oil of your choice (I've been using lavender, and I've also been using more like 5 or 6 drops).   A bath cloth to catch the drops of essential oil (You'll need to apply new drops to the cloth for each load...

    Anyone in need of a new bottle of perfume should definitely check out this Care2 article about toxin-free fragrances. Click the link at the bottom of the article to receive a 5 vial sample set of A Perfume Organic's fragrances. You'll also receive a voucher for a full-size bottle of your choice, to use once you decide on your favorite scent! All of this costs only $40, which is kind of a steal since a full-size bottle alone is ordinarily $65, and a sample set is usually $22. I've actually tried a sample of their
