Soap Box Soaps: Bamboo Hair Care Review

SoapBox Soaps: Bamboo Shampoo and Conditioner Review + Giveaway

bamboo-shampoo-and-conditionerWhen I think of hair care the last ingredient that I consider being included is Bamboo. When I typically think of Bamboo, the image of Pandas run through my head.

Bamboo is an amazing plant and is the fastest growing plant on the planet that can grow 3 feet in height in 24 hours (under appropriate climate conditions). Since bamboo reaches maturity after only 3 to 5 years it makes it a sustainable product perfect for use.

Utilizing this versatile and renewable source SoapBox Soaps has released a new shampoo and conditioner containing bamboo.

US Organic Beeswax Giveaway

US Organic Beeswax Giveaway

beeswax-pelletsOften times there are moments that I will see a creature in nature and be in absolute awe and when I see Bees, I have this moment.

Sometimes I wonder if their is nothing that these miracles workers can’t do. They work in in a hive mentality, with the goal of keeping the queen safe. The was is produced on the side of a bees abdomen and is only produced when their is nectar flow. To product the was the bees get together to increase their temperature and thus wax is produced (amazing huh!?).

I Modify IKEA Review

I Modify IKEA: Furnishings from Everyone’s Favorite Store, Customize for Your Home – 50 Fun & Creative Decorating Projects Review and Giveaway

i-modify-ikeaWhen I was young I gave very little consideration to my dressers, bath mats, books shelves and all other storage items. As I have gotten older I have noticed that many times I find the items I am looking for but many times it is not the right color or there is a minor thing that could be changed for the piece to be perfect.

Often times this fact is driven home to me when I go to my local IKEA and I see the rows and stacks of boxes. I see those boxes, and dream of all the possibilities inside. From the colors, to the adding of elements – each piece really can be personalized.

When I received the book I Modify IKEA: Furnishings from Everyone’s Favorite Store, Customized for Your Home by Charlotte Rivers and Elysse Major for review it was clear that I was not the only person in the world that also sees this world of possibilities.

Five Finger Tees T-Shirt Review

FiveFingerTees Review + Giveaway

nuka-cola-and-lukes-dinerSince I spend many hours on my computer I have discovered that this constant state of sitting necessitates the need for comfortable clothes. My favorite outfit is a pair of yoga pants, a tank top and a t-shirt and always with a comfy pair of socks. The major reason for this level of comfort you want to be  as comfortable as possible when you are sitting as much as I do each day. Due to this constant state of being I am always on the lookout for additions to my “work uniform”.

Last September I happened upon FiveFingerTees.com for the first time and at the time I was blown away!

golden-girl-granola As many people know, I love supporting smaller businesses.

Many times these small businesses have wonderful stories and interesting paths that led them to where they are now.

Recently Golden Girl has redesigned their packaging and with this new packaging, I was given the chance to try the remaining 3 flavors and host a giveaway!

RTGS Products: 100 Warm White LED Set Review + Giveaway

100-micro-led-setAs we march into the holiday season I have begun thinking about decorations.

I love the idea of something large that will greet visitors to our home. Since I am a DIY gal I began looking online and settled on a cup snowman. Since the easiest way to light up this centerpiece of my holiday decorations the technology of LED lights is the perfect way to light up and keep fire hazards at a minimum.

Stampin’ Up: Stitched with Cheer Project Kit Review

Stampin’ Up – Stitched with Cheer – Project Kit Review + Giveaway

stitched-with-cheer-notecardsOne of my favorite times of the year is when I start to receive holiday cards. I love to hear from people that I lose touch with throughout the year, and seeing the happy photos.

When I was young I was in charge of the yearly holidays cards and I would look forward to it. Each year I would look forward to choosing the perfect cards for the recipient. I loved verifying addresses and updating my “master list” spreadsheet. I credit this yearly ritual to giving me the handwriting ability I have today. Now that I am older and have a home and “furmily” of my own I tend to do our own holiday cards.

Instead of purchasing cards I tend to make them by hand. I begin my search early in the season and many times I purchase the supplies throughout the year. This year my card making will be made easier since receiving the Stitched with Cheer Project Kit by Stampin’ Up which is a 18 card kit and the perfect way to show my appreciation for friends and family.
