My New Garden (started)

Here are pictures of my new garden I started (indoors first then will be planted outside).

New Necklace

This is the new necklace I made today. It's so much nicer in person though. My camera is sucking right now.

Went to Lush today ; )

Went to Lush Mohegan today for the Go green party and got:
I Should Coco soap - $16.25 bar slice
Trichomania solid shampoo - $25.42 bar slice
Geo Phyzz bath ballistic - $7.35 (ended up giving this to my sister though)
Haagenbath - $6.25
(got 10% off order because I brought my Lush reusable bag with me; so I saved $5.53)

Freebie bag after spending $45 or more:
Avo bath
Greeench deodorant powder sample (plus my mom's sample, she didn't want it)
Seanick shampoo bar
coupon for free 50 gram bar of soap (on next visit)

Samples:
Trichomania (was going to be for boyfriend but, I cut a bigger piece from my bar instead. I'll keep this for overnight stays)
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.

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!
