Coloring Pencil Roll {Review} {LoopyLou shop}

I opened the mail and what did I see?

A beautiful package in front of me.

I received this awesome little colored pencil roll.

Why do I love this colored pencil roll so much?

Not including that that it is machine washable, so you can wash it over and over and you’ll still have this beautiful little colored pencil holder to take your drawings wherever you go.

Friday Confessional

Friday confessional join in {here}

Here are my confessions:

*I read ALL the time, I’m not talking about here and there, I CONSTANTLY have a book in hand, and sometimes even jump books (such as reading a couple at a time) I know- how weird am I? I just have this weird interest in learning EVERYTHING  And most of the time I write it down {word for word}

*I NEVER have time to myself. Even when I am in the shower my kids are almost ALWAYS standing at the door either crying or trying to get in.

* I don’t read romance books

*I have spend my entire life trying to start a business for myself. Although, I am a little closer, I am still not there yet. & yes it frustrates me.

*I wear flip flops almost all the time {even in the winter if you catch me at the right (or wrong) time}

*I am not very “materialistic” or whatever. You will see me at the grocery store with my sweatpants on, t-shirt, flip flops,hair up, and glasses on. {uhh. Glad I don’t live in a big town where I might catch it on facebook or youtube.} lol

*I LOVE LOVE LOVE green {just had to add this} even though it isn’t a confession..

Natural Spray Deodorant from Picnic Basket Crafts {review}

I want  to thank Tiffany Norton of Picnic Basket Crafts for giving me the chance to sample her spray deodorant.

I got it a couple of weeks ago in the mail. When I opened the envelope, it had the sweetest little drawing from her son Graham. It was wrapped around the spray. It said “Graham helped.” It couldn’t have made me smile more.☺

With the humid weather, I was starting to get disappointed in my regular deodorant. Stepping outside for 10 minutes seriously felt as if I had run a 10k. The deodorant just kept sweating away, leaving me feeling self-conscious. As a mom of 2, I don’t have time to repeatedly put on deodorant, I wanted something that would stay without reapplying.

That’s why I was amazed with Tiffany’s, because it did the exact opposite of the other deodorant. Putting a spray on after the shower left me after the shower left me feeling refreshed and cleansed all day. No more “sniff sniff” to see if the deodorant was still there, I could FEEL it there. I could feel the difference of this awesomeness in a bottle.

My Best Friend, Tosha came over and I let her see the deodorant. She said “can I use this?”, “my deodorant has already worn off” Of course I said yes". The amazing thing is- she told me the next day when she went to take a shower “it was still there” she said. “I’ve never had a deodorant work this well”..

About the deodorant:

Made with all natural ingredients, this simple and  effective deodorant stops odor at its source- by killing the bacteria that live on your skin. Leaves you feeling fresh and smelling clean, without over-drying skin or preventing perspiration.

P.S. Can also be used to eliminate odors in fabric. Also works as a hand sanitizer.

Ingredients: Grain-Derived Ethyl Alcohol, Organic Aloe Gel, Witch Hazel, and these essential oils- lavender, tea tree, spearmint, and lemon.

I totally recommend this product for any type of person (those who “glisten” or those who “sweat like a pig”)..

She has so many products for sale (really cheap) that I feel like starting an at home spa for myself (oh wouldn’t that be wonderful)..

You have got to see this♥

Love Spell (Type) Ecofriendly Organic Sugar Scrub - 10 oz.

Description

Price $9.50

Your skin is BEGGING for this super-moisturizing, deliciously scented, and gently exfoliating sugar scrub! My sugar scrubs are not drippy and runny like some other sugar scrubs can be. I use enough solid oils in my formula to allow it to keep its shape long enough to get from the jar to your skin. It is nice and thick, but melts right at your body temperature, so it is every bit as moisturizing as a scrub made with only liquid oils. Your sugar scrub will arrive in an 8 oz. oval shaped jar, but it is PACKED to the top with 10 full ounces of product.

Cucumber Eye Creme

Description

Price $4.50

Rich with cooling cucumber and healing calendula oil, this eye creme can be applied morning or night to soften, moisturize, and reduce puffiness around the eyes. Each ingredient in the creme is specially chosen to be extremely gentle and kind to even the most delicate skin.
Vegetable Glycerin soothes and softens skin, and acts as a humectant - pulling water from the air to keep your skin soft.

Organic and Vegan Naturally Gentle Foaming Castile Hand Soap - Custom Scented

Description

Price- $5.00

I've had a hard time getting one of these to hold still long enough to get listed here on etsy! I had to secret this one away from my regular customers so I could share it with you. (-;
This amazing hand soap is just about as natural as it gets. Made with rich and gentle organic olive, coconut and sunflower oils, this pure castile soap is amazing for even the most sensitive skin. Scented per your request.

So- what are you waiting for? Head on over & pamper yourself. ♥Jess
