Scandle Body Massage Candle Review

 

Scandle body massage candles are such a relaxing treat. Are you fond of body massage oil and fragrant spa candles? Then you’ll love these Scandle Massage Candles.

The Scandle Candle is definitely unique from any other body massage oils or candles out there. Why? Because it is perfect. It can be used as a body moisturizer, body massage oil, or a rich lotion filled with Vitamin E for soothing Mani’s or Pedi’s.

The candles are hand-poured soy candles that is very fragrant. When the candle is lit and starts to burn it melts to create a healthy body oil. This enhances overall skin health.

It is also earth-friendly. Because it is made with Soy wax, it puts off less soot and toxins than other candles.

As soon as I opened the candle tin, I got a nice minty like aroma. It was white/clear and had a very nice wick.

When we used them, we lit them 15-20 minutes before. This gives it time to melt down into the oil used for the massage. Adam works really hard outside all day, so I treated him with a massage. He was skeptical at first about me pouring a burning candle on him.

He thought he was going to be burned, and freaked out. But the candle only heats up to body temp, so NO it didn’t burn him.

He said that it relaxed him GREATLY. The oils made it easier for me to grip his muscles the right way. I have carpel tunnel (getting it) and my hands and bones in my hands stay stiff all the time. This was a nice way for me to show my appreciation to Adam without hurting myself.

It nourished his skin, leaving it silky smooth. It never made him feel greasy or sticky. Which is a plus. Normal lotions and oils don’t “melt” into the skin the way this does. It seems to disappear into the skin, not stay on top.

We left it on our headboard for the time being. I would crawl into bed, and smell that invigorating minty smell and love it. I loved to sleep beside it. It wasn’t even lit. Just sitting THERE and I could still smell it’s amazing- ness.

I will definitely be adding to my collection. I have almost used this one up, and sad to see it go. They have tons of different smells to choose from, which is a plus.

During holidays, they also add NEW limited time smells that go with the holiday. I love it. For Valentine’s they had Sugar Kisses and Chocolate dipped strawberry. =) YUM

I am so ready to try the love spell, warm vanilla sugar, and fig & brown sugar. I’m sure I’ll end up buying them all. =)

Headline Tshirts Review & Giveaway

About:
At Headline Shirts, we're obsessed with making intelligently funny tees and apparel. While that makes us lousy dinner guests, it makes us really good at making smart, great-looking stuff that you won't find anywhere else.
Our Vintageblend™ tees are hand-sewn right here in San Francisco, CA, using a super-soft, poly/cotton blend. As you might expect from a bunch of West Coast tree huggers, we use only Eco-friendly inks and materials right down to the compostible bags we ship them in.
We're pretty sure you're going to like what you get from us. But if you don't, let us have it. We want to do whatever it takes to fix it (unless that involves being the getaway driver in a heist or something).
Oh, and that baboon you see in the photos? You're wondering who that is, aren't you? That's our chief of operations, Robert. Robert Baboon. (Don't call him “Bobby” — he insists on Robert.)
My Review:
I love graphic tees, I always have. I love to wear something amusing, something that can make people chuckle.

I love that you can either shop by style or sizing. Some people may want to search for items in their size before purchasing. Whether they want a Women’s Medium, or a Man’s Small.
But then some people want to look at the choices first, and may get a bigger size if the shirt is what they want, and they aren’t leaving without it.
And that’s all you’ll find here- is funny, thought provoking shirts. They have so many interesting designs, that you’ll definitely want more than one.
I reviewed the relentlessly awesome shirt.

and that’s exactly what it is. unyieldingly severe awesomeness.
I love the shirt. They are hand-made right in California. The inks that are printed on the shirts and all materials used are eco-friendly.Their bags are also compostable, and a conscious company is always a plus in my book.
The shirt is made with an
50/50 xtra-soft poly/cotton and is extremely soft and allows your skin to breath. The fabric makes the shirt form fitting and doesn’t “sag” after a couple washes. This has went through the cycles many times, and the text hasn’t faded.
The shirt makes me FEEL awesome, if you can even imagine that. It makes me chuckle to myself every time I wear it. Being awesome is a hard responsibility and one I am willing to accept. =)
I did have the desire to have a shirt that alerted people of how unyielding awesome I am. Am I being too into “me”. I think not. I think being awesome is something everyone should be. Then maybe, just maybe- we wouldn’t have to deal with buttheads on a daily basis.
The shirt is tagless. So no itchy scratchy tags here! No wanting to rip the sucker off because it has become such a bother. Yep! Awesomeness is true form right here.
The shirts are screenprinted and shipped within 1 day. They have a sizing chart on the website, so that you make sure you get the perfect fit. Whether you’re buying for yourself- or buying for a gift.
I should really get Adam this shirt. Say ‘Tweet’ Again

I use all these things that he doesn’t know and doesn’t care to know. You don’t even want to know what they were saying. =)

For only $24- why not SHOW the world something about you?

Headlines is amazing, and addicting. I love so many of their shirts, that it was hard for me to choose.
Head on over and pick a fav.

Are You Sitting Down? by Shannon Yarbrough Book Review #book

 

A rape victim raising a biracial baby. A drug addict haunted by a dead girlfriend. A homosexual mourning a dead lover. A teacher having an affair with his student. And a businesswoman sexually harassed by her boss. What do they all have in common? They all sit at Lorraine White's holiday dinner table; they are also her children.
But Lorraine's children are not the only ones in the family dealing with ghosts of the past. This is the first Christmas the Whites have spent together since the death of their father. And it very well could be their last, as arguments ensue, secrets are revealed, and perhaps a murderer walks among them.
In his latest novel, Shannon Yarbrough explores the damaged soul of one small town family and breaks through the boundaries of love, convincing his readers that no matter how hard life gets, sometimes the support of family is often the only true foundation we have left to depend upon - whether we want it or not

My Thoughts.

I really liked this book. It is a book where each chapter is a different person’s perspective of their lives.

Travis White has been a long time out of high school. He is also been out of the closet since then. His mom wasn’t excepting of this- thinking she had done something “wrong” to turn him this way.

But how could they turn away from his issues when clearly they all had their own.

Martin, the oldest son of Lorraine White- is the “academic” overall good son. Or so people think. What they don’t know happened in the closet of his Science Room with he and a student will never see the light of day.

Ellen, the oldest daughter- is having marriage problems. She had to end up working after being a stay at home mom for 7 years. She had to practically beg to become a worker at the local courthouse. Her new boss then used her “begging'” as a way to force himself on her.. After that- any touch felt a little like his touch.

Travis- He met and fell in love with Justin Black. Justin’s Parents never even considered he might be gay. So Travis has to listen to all the hints and slurs from Justin’s Mom about Travis taking her son away. He then gets a terminal disease and Travis has to face the inevitable.

Sebastian- The youngest son- has a very bad drug problem. SO bad that he wakes up next to a girl he barely knows and she is DEAD. They had overdone it, and she wasn’t waking up. Because she was in HIS bed, he might be facing murder charges..

Clare- The Youngest daughter, has many a problem also. She has a biracial baby. Her family thinks that her and the father just aren’t “together.” When in fact- they never were. She was raped and never told anyone.. she then finds out that she may have been adopted and she needs to think about what to do about it..

*Very good book. Very detailed. Shannon is very good at switching each chapter to a new person. Sometimes when a book is written like this, the readers get lost because it jumps around. This book is nothing like that.

This book is awesome. I couldn’t put it down. I read the entire book within 2-3 days in random spurts. Very interesting and keeps you so engrossed in the book that you just want to keep turning pages.

In this book “everyone knows everyone” in a small town just simply isn’t the truth. Everyone thinks they know, but they haven’t even begun to touch the iceberg.. It’s about a family who would rather shove secrets under the rug rather then face them head on..

Buy the book..

and read what an awesome story line with very real characters that make you think twice about the reality of real.

Disclosure: This isn’t a sponsored post, all opinions are my own. I wasn’t compensated, although I did receive a copy in exchange for a honest review.

I want to thank Shannon Yarbrough for writing such an amazing book. I enjoyed every single page =) Hope to be reading more in the future..

It’s Me Time with Edenfantasys

18+. The links below will take you to an adult website, so no clicky clicky unless your of AGE..

These last months have been stressful. Not really STRESSful as they have been BUSY. I stay busy 24/7 it seems. When I hit the pillow at night, it doesn’t even take me 2 seconds to be out like a light.

I seriously need some “me” time. Some relaxation time. Some time with a good book, soft background music, and a good drink in one hand. =)

Since having kids, I haven’t had more than 20 minutes to shower in years it seems. They are always knocking at the door and crying because I am not within their eyesight.

I have been looking through the edenfantasys website, and had my eye on some pretty awesome stuff. Just because it is a sex toy shop, doesn’t mean they don’t sell other items to make your life a little easier and a whole lot better.

For instance, they have a pretty bad massage kit that looks amazing. It is called the Shuga Garden of edo organic collection. With it having an exotic green tea scent, I don’t see how the products AREN’T relaxing and what I need for a weekend without the kids. It comes with a Massage oil, Lubricant, Aphrodisiac Oil, Sensitizing Gel, and Bath Salt,

I also have my eyes on the Leau a deux – sensual kit. I’ve heard some great things about it. It comes with a CD of sensual music, bath foam, massage gel, 4 candles, and massager. How could I not want this? I am looking forward to a hot bath with candles all around, a bath foam, and a massage after

I was also looking through their bra and panty sets, and WOW. They have some amazing sets for CHEAP. I mean $12 a set cheap. Even going to walmart for JUST a bra, your going to pay at least $8.. why not rack up and splurge on you? I know I would feel so much more AMAZING wearing something sexy that didn’t cost me an arm and a leg..

Also- FYI: They have an amazing community where you can learn about relationships. Whether it’s how to strengthen it, abusive relationships, or just anything relationship wise. EdenCafe is amazing. Be sure to give it a check out.
