Review: Lip Smacker 100% Natural Lip Balm in "Honeydew melon"

I recently purchased Lip Smacker 100% Natural Lip Balm in "Honeydew Melon".

This was a total impulse buy when I saw that the lip smacker company (specifically Bonne Bell) is now making all natural products. I've always been a fan of their lip balms...my favorites being kiwi, dr.pepper and watermelon. However, I really prefer to buy more natural products when I can.

I can honestly say the Bonne Bell company did not disappoint once again, this lip smacker is fantastic!!

The "Honeydew Melon" has a fantastic smell and goes on smooth and doesn't dry out of my lips. It's not highly flavored by any means, but I prefer my lip balms that way.

The packaging is also great. The imagery is a watercolor of a honeydew melon. The text is simple to the point and clear to read.

Another thing that's fantastic about this product is the ingredients: pure fruit essence, olive oil, beeswax, vitamin e and aloe! It's also Paraben free, Gluten free and Dye free so many of you with allergies and sensitives will be able to use this product too!

If "Honeydew melon" isn't your favorite scent and/or flavor, there is also:
-"Pink Guava"
-"Acai Berry"
-"Vanilla Bean"

I can honestly say that I would highly recommend this product! It's only a couple of dollars so it's be a great product to grab a few of at a time ;)

*Please Note: I was not compensated for this review, this is my honest review of a product I purchased myself.

I figured out my Halloween costume...

I just figured out who I'm dressing up for Halloween as...

She's pretty much a hot mess in Glitter. Guess who yet???

***

That's right, Ke$ha.

I can honestly say my style isn't anything like hers, I probably haven't even worn glitter since elementary school..and she admits to basically bathing in it.







Are you thinking about your Halloween costume already too? Or am I just overly excited about Halloween? Maybe.

What a deal!

Because I believe in amazing customer service even when the customers aren't the most understanding and/or reasonable,

here is this tweet I just made:



And yes its true, not one but TWO free gifts (two pairs of earrings of my choosing) with any purchase in my shop this week!
Just make your purchase and put the code "DOUBLE" in the message to seller box at checkout. When you receive your order, there will be surprise earrings ;)

So head over to my etsy (link in the side bar of blog), and get some fun jewelry.

Thrift store score + some of my jewelry collection

This morning, I found this wonderful vintage jewelry box at goodwill for only $1.99!




I am in love with it, it also winds up in the back and when you open the drawers you can hear an old wind up tune :)
There are two small drawers up top and two larger drawers (which are perfect for my heavy beaded necklaces).

I spent about an hour rearranging all my jewelry (I actually have two other wooden vintage jewelry boxes) and rehanging all my earrings on one of the holders I used to display my wears at a craft store over the summer.

But I thought I would share with you the contents inside my new box...
and share with you (to the best of my memory) where each piece came from ;)

So there you have it, a look into some of my jewelry collection ;)
I still have to figure out what to do with all of my delicate necklaces without getting them tangled.
