Luck

Sooooo, on Wednesday night (9:30ish), my mom and I went to Mohegan Sun casino. I borrowed $40 from her because I get paid on Fridays. I sat down on a Clint Eastwood type game (don't remember the name) and put a $10 bill into the slot and on my first spin....won $90. So I took it out, cashed the ticket and gave my mom her $40 back and played a Monopoly game....and won $70. So all night I just kept playing with my winnings (Keno, a Star Trek game, Wheel-of-Fortune, ect.) and when we finally left at 12:30, I had $70 on me I didn't even have to begin with.

On Thursday, I took my winnings and I went to my towns second-hand store (Back Street, A Boutique) and I got myself two sweaters, Christopher&Banks in pink for $3 and American Eagle Outfiters in blue for $7, a brand new with tags Vera Bradley Tweed Canteen bag in black, red and cream ($30) and a thick cotton sweater for my BF ($3).

So, YAY!

Thats all.

My Lush Town prize

I grabbed the Gumback Express soap smoothie as my Lush Town prize. Smells like (real)banana smoothie. Almond scrubbiess are just right, not too ruff. Recommended (if you can get some quick, on sale 1/2 price online only)

Yup, I'm A Winner Of Lush Town Contest # 3

I won! I won! (doing the "I won!" dance)

I "found 66 secret products" and I'm "quite the detective."

Go me!

Actually, I go both "passwords" for the US and the UK. For some reason, I wasn't able to watch or even enter answers to the US one until 10ish (pm). So it's a good thing I kept checking because it was a different password than the UK one (oopsie) that I finished at Noon. That would have sucked if I went to my local Lush with the wrong answer. So I may possibly get myself a free retro product (if they have any left when I get there Sunday). ( X crossing fingers X )

These Are Both Soooo Cute. A Must Have!

http://www.MyBabyJo.com

Darla Button Heels $60.00

These classy 4 inch heels feature a big button on ankle strap for closure. Criss-cross display with peep-toe front. Leather upper, balance man made materials. Very comfortable.*

(Under "shoes and handbags", then scroll near bottom of page)

Flirting Swallows Barrette $15.00

Hand painted, no 2 barrettes are alike!*

(Under "floral barrettes", then scroll to bottom of page)

Ask Adia/Cooking For Real on The Food Network

I just finished a review for The Food Network through SheSpeaks.com. I was asked to view two of their new shows "Ask Adia" and '"Cooking for Real."

-

Ask Adia was so boring I probably watched less than 10 minutes. She had no personallity and was trying way too hard. PS, Raw or undercooked eggs, not so good.

-

I liked "Cooking for real". There was a chicked and potato salad recipe that looked so good.

-

-

So after I watched the shows and gave my review I was able to choose a free gift. I chose the Iron Chef board game instead of the DVD.

-

-

I also recieved a coupon code for a free Rachael Ray 3pk DVD set with a purchase of $50 or more at the Food network store.

So here is the code: C98278

-

-

Also here is the link to veiw the shows yourself

Free "Swag Bag"

Wow, I'm on a roll today. I also found a site that gives free "swag bags" to their members. Sign up is free.

www.G-Dots.com

Hope this one comes because that would be neet.

WeirdFragrances.com for free samples

Just found this site. Has fragrances called Grease Monkey, The Love of Money, Pumpkin Spice, Cajun Delight, burning Rubber, Fourth of July, Ash Tray, Magazine Pages, Fresh Bread and Hot Cookies. They are giving Free Samples right now. So try them out.

Basically, read any magazine online for free.

Review for Garnier Nutritioniste SR anti-puff eye roller

So, a few weeks ago I received a free "Garnier Nutritioniste Skin Renew anti-puff eye roller" (full size, too) to try and review for SheSpeaks.com. This thing is great. I love the metal roller ball. I would not have tried this before because I thought it was too weird (and my mom said you should never roll anything on your eye). I wakes me right up in the morning because the metal ball has a very cooling effect (no need to put it in the fridge either). The product is a gel so it goes on clear (may be sticky for a few minutes though, but it goes away). It's small and compact to fit in your bag if you need a quick pick me up during the day (it stays cool because of the metal ball).
-
Retails for $12.99
-
Note: Product contains caffeine and pro-vitamin b5
-
Features:
- gentle massaging roller
- decongests puffiness
- diminishes dark circles
- dermatologist tested for safety
- 100% oil-free
- opthamologist tested
- gentle to skin
- allergy tested
- non-greasy

UPDATE

Hi ; )

Lately I've been working (47+ hrs last wk) and making tons of jewelry infront of the TV. My camera is acting funny right now so I havn't been able to post any new pics or add stuff to my etsy page,

HandmadeByKristie.etsy.com

*

I've also been finding alot of freebie sites and signing up for a bunch of need things (hopefully they come),

Twistedbranches.com (my favorite)

Justfreestuff.com

Thefreesite.com/free_samples

Freebielist.com

Mysavings.com

Also, Walmart.com has some freebies, too. So check them out.

*

I also found a site to watch free tv shows (like Hulu.com).

Fancast.com/full_episodes

Awesome site.

*

Also, Moonalisa.com is back and running (on her Etsy shop only for now). So go check her out.

TheLittleBlackBoxes.com

LemmingCentral.com

Prices rang different. Some sites include shipping in the posted price and others don't.

(example: The Little Black Boxes is $23 & includes shipping. The Sample Bag is $10.99 & shipping is $10+)

I would look at each site and find one that seems right for you instead of jumping at the first one you click at.

Trichomania solid shampoo - $25.42 bar slice
Geo Phyzz bath ballistic - $7.35 (ended up giving this to my sister though)

Freebie bag after spending $45 or more:

Seanick shampoo bar
coupon for free 50 gram bar of soap (on next visit)

Evoo soap


So now, again, I'm broke 'til next payday. BooHoo!! At least I have Lush to keep me company.

Earth Day is April 22, 2008

Do something good for the planet.

It's saying I only have 43 (there are 60 here, may be the spelling?) and also I just found out that this contest is only for UK and Ireland. Geesh, I wish they would have said that before I spent the whole day playing this game.

Sweet Cheeks Foaming Sugar Scrub

I tried the Sweet Cheeks foaming sugar scrub in the shower. Smells like like a cookie bakery (which is weird because the lable says the scent is "fuji flower"?) and the sugar scrub made my skin soft. I like this one. Can't wait to try all the other stuff. Also, I was able to order another box (I checked this morning and they has 2 left even though they had only 1 left last night, weird?) so we'll see what I get in that one).

Pixie Potions Perfume Order

I received my Pixiepotions.com order today. My mom was sweet enough to drop it off at work for me. Here is a picture of both "Goddess" and "Ginger Snapped"

Goddess perfume: I'm still a bit iffy about this one. I love, love, love the bottle and metal applicator but, the scent is weird. It's musky with an after scent of Tylenol cool caplets (medicine minty). So, yah, a bit iffy? Update 4/18/08: Ok I love it. The minty scent is gone now. Weird I know. It's musky and flowery and smells good. Now I feel better for giving it another go :) *Recommended product*

*

*

Ginger Snapped perfume oil: I just love this scent. Smells like, well, ginger snapps in the bottle and has a slight ginger/citrus scent on my skin. Good buy.

*Recommended product*

Three new necklaces I just made

Three new necklaces I made last week. Thought I would share.

Received my sampler box, YAY!

I received my sampler box from Lemming Central (click on pictures to see products up-close) and really want another one, but they only have one left and I wont have the money 'til tomorrow 8,( So I'm very sad. I love everything in my box but there were a few things I wanted to try but didn't end up getting. The pictures above are the products I got. When I try stuff, I will post a review.

*

*

Lemming Central sampler box

I purchased an April sampler box from Lemming Central. It contains samplers from different etailers (this one I think has 27 items) for $20 + 1.65 for Insurance, shipping is free ($10 for Canada). In the past theyv'e had sampler boxes that contained products by:

Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze from Lush

Just tried a sample of Jasmine & Henna Fluff Eaze from Lush.

*

I got 1/3 of a pot so I put the whole thing on my dry hair and wrapped my hair in a hot towel and let it sit for 20 min.

*

Then I shampooed and conditioned and just let my hair air dry.

*

My hair is so soft right now.

*

I'm glad I tried this because I'm doing to grow my hair long and need to stop having it cut so I may end up with a few split ends as time goes on. This made my hair super silky.

*

Love it!

PixiePotions.com

My order from www.Pixiepotions.com

My Lush Un-Wrapped

Here's what I got so far:

Cocktail is my favorite. I really need to find the soap on ebay now, though.

I left my soaps out to dry, they were a little soft and needed to cure a bit.

Look at that Date. So pink and bright. Harvey is adorable, isn't he.

Forgot all about my Gentil Lentil Shampoo bar:

For Reviews, go here:

http://geminis-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/03/lush-ukretrob-never-reviews.html

I smell Damb good!

Yup, Narcotick bubble bath with Mojo bath bomb (from El-ix-ir.net) and Cocktail body spray. Lets just say "I smell Damb good."

Oh NO

Dang it!!! I knew I was missing something. I didn't get the regular Lush UK products. My Veganese and Ickle Baby Baff are missing. I hope they came in another box or I'll be miffed. I'll email them and ask though. 8'(

YAY!!! Got My Lush Retro Order Today

Here it is!!!

So far the best thing is the Cocktail body spray. I didn't think it would be that big because it said mini spray. I also hadn't smelled cocktail since Xmas so it madde be very happy to finally remember why I love the scent so much. :) I also got a B catalog (I was hoping for a Lush UK one too, but it wasn't there)


Go here for the product names and reviews (when I try them) http://geminis-thoughts.blogspot.com/2008/03/lush-ukretrob-never-reviews.html

Calming Lush Bath

Just had a bath with two of Lush's bath ballistics, Waving not drowning and Butter ball. The scent was LavenderVanilla and very calming. Enjoyed this bath very much.

Imp scent from Bpal? Iffy!!!

I got my Bpal imp from Ebay called "Imp". Ummm.....not sure if I like it yet. It's kinda strong musky and almost soapy scent after awhile. May have to wear it a couple more times to see.

Shana Logic Product Review

Friendship Bird Ring- ($5) after 15% promo ($4.25)- I get a bunch of compliments on this ring. Very adorable. Green backgroung with a little chubby red bird.

Vintage Strawberry Earrings- ($8 ) after 15% off promo ($6.80)- Very vintage looking. White backgroung with red strawberry. Classy!

Chicken Fill-ins - The Best Thanks Ever!- ($7) after 15% off promo ($5.95)- I have not used these yet but can't wait till I do. These are for people who hate to write thank you notes because they can't find the right words to say.

Lush UK/Retro/B Never Reviews

Lush UK/Retro/B Never

LushUK:
Veganese conditioner* - Ummm. The conditioner looks a little grayish on top and on the bottom. It smells like Veganese, but it looks dirty. I think some of the Ickle baby baff dust got into it some how? I'm still a little scared to use it.

Ickel Baby Baff BBar - Very lightly scented bath ballistic. Still nice and cute, though.

Retro:
Kiss Me Klimt BBomb - Soooo relaxing can't even describe the scent, but it's that good. Voting for Lush discon '08

Psycodelic BBar - Spicy, like cinnamon. Very nice, lots of bubbles.

It's a Date BBar -

Gentil Lentil Solid shampoo - Vanilla scented and made my hair supper soft.

Narcotick Shower gel - Tea tree and lavender, makes a super bubbly bath. Voting for this, Lush discon '08

Queen of Hearts soap - Smells like rose water and made my face soft. I use it every day now. Has my vote for Lush discon '08

Pineapple Grunt soap - I don't like this. No scent at all. Pinapple. What Pinapple? I smell no pineapple. Plain.

Harvy Bunny BBomb - Soooo cute that I'm afraid to use it (as of 4/18/08)

Honey Waffle soap - ? Not sure. Made my skin soft but smelled more like wax than like honey. A bit sad.

Red Rooster Soap - Spicy and very good (just had to flick off the cinnamon stick pieces). Would buy this again. I will vote for it for this years discon '08 run.

Hollywood BBar -

BNever:
Cocktail mini spray - Very sexy scent.lavender, bergamont, jasmine, rose, sandalwood and ylang ylang. Almost forgot why I loved the soap so much it's been so long.

Mint julip sugar lip scrub - I wanted to eat this it taste so good. Mint, sugar and chocolate.

B never to busy to be beautiful shower gel - Smack you in the face honey. Almost too much honey smell. May have to use it as a bubble bath. Still love it though. (update 3/1/08- mix this with Sonic Death Monkey....Yummm)

*The only thing I've used on this list before is the Veganese conditioner, I seem to like it from mail order and not from the stores here in NA though, smells and feels different to me somehow. So lets see how I like UK mail order conditioners.

E-lix-ir Product Review

Almondfruit Soap ($5.75)- (tanish color) Nutty with a little sweet and some scrubbies for exfoliating (but not too much, like the me so chai soap). Very moisturizing and lathers good. Scent stays on skin after bath/shower.

Me So Chai Soap ($6.00)- (brown color with dark speckles) Smells good enough to eat. Lathers great but the coffee bean scrub bits are a little rough on arms and chest area and I have to lather in my hands not on my body or it scratches. Still a yummy product and will have to buy (got a sample, and a huge one at that, looked like a little less than a full size to me)

Archipelago Soap ($6.25)- (got a sample, green and blue swirl color)

Return from the Dead Soap ($6.00)- (got a sample, grayish color) Minty. Better than Lush's Demon in the Dark soap and not as strong.

Mojo Lotion Bar ($5.75)- This is so goooood. Smell like Lush's Karma scent in solid lotion form. Great product. Makes my skin soft. The only problem I have with it is it's too hard and you need to use a blowdryer to heat it enough to use it.

Ginger Love BBar ($3.25)- (orange and yellow color) Lots and Lots of bubble in this bar. Wonderful spicy smell that stayed in water and on my skin after bath (I also stayed in water for 45 min it was so relaxing). Water was a light orange color.

Purple Rain BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (purple color)

Hot Sex BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (red Color) I can't figure out what the scent of this bomb is suppose to be (maybe cinnamon?) and it's not posted on the site. It had a very strong spa like scent and made me doze off in the tub. Made the water a red color but didn't stain my white tub (good). Had just the right amount of oils in it to create a very soft relaxing bath.

Lemmongrass BBomb NSP ($1.25)- (light green color) Mixed this with a Avobath from Lush. The best bath I've had in a long time. Lemony scent and lime green water.

AllThat Razz BBomb NSP (1.25)- (pinkish color)

Mojo BBomb (2.75)- (blue color)

Pink Jasmine BBomb (2.75)- (got it for free as a sample, light pink color)

Note: NSP means Not So Perfect. They have some sort of blemish (dent or crack) so they are cheaper. The size and scent you'll get is a mystery.

Yup...It's been like forever!

I thought I would come back, delete the usless junk on this page and post mostly reviews of products I love/hate. I have found a few shops I want to share with others.

Shana Logic (shanalogic.com)
Lush (Lush.com)
E-lix-ir (E-lix-ir.net)
Moonalisa (Moonalisa.com) and
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab or BPal for short (BlackPhoenixAlchemyLab.com).

I haven't used any products from Moonalisa or BPal yet (but have an imp from Bpal of 'IMP' coming my way from ebay) but will soon order once I use up the products from Lush and
E-lix-ir. I have way to much stuff and I have to save up my money first. I also have a big Lush UK/Retro/BNever order coming my way also.


I will be back to post reviws for the Shana Logic stuff I bought and love and also the products I used from E-lix-ir. When I get my Retro Lush order, I'll post for those, too.

See you later,

Kristie :)
