Basil Mint Vegan Friendly Balm

Check out my new Basil Mint Lip Balm!  It's vegan friendly :)

Luxury Bath Salts

Finally I have added the Luxury Bath Salts line to my Etsy. This line includes "Relax", "Aches", and "Detox".

This is a 12 oz, beautifully faceted jar that contains the best blend of bath salts you've ever tried.

A blend of European sea salt, Epsom salt, and sodium bicarbonate combine to provide you with the most relaxing bath or foot soak. The Epsom salt helps relax your muscles and release toxins through your skin, while the sodium bicarbonate neutralizes those toxins. European sea salts are added to hydrate and nourish the skin, and essential oils provide aromatherapy and active properties to heal and refresh.

There are three servings in each bottle.

Perfect as a gift for any occasion; for a loved one or yourself.

Essential Oils in "Relax" blend:
Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Tangerine, Marjoram, Petitgrain, Vetiver, & Roman Chamomile

Essential Oils in "Aches" blend:
Clove, Birch, Rosemary, Black Pepper, Coriander, Cypress, & Marjoram

Essential Oils in "Detox" blend:
Basil, Grapefruit, Orange, Juniper Berry, Patchouli, Rosemary, Lemon, Maychang, Black Pepper, & Vetiver

The label is hand-stamped by yours truly, so each on is a little different. All Luxury Bath Salts containers are tied with double-sided satin ribbon. My "Handmade" moo cards act as a tag, and are in assorted colors that are chosen at random - but are all esthetically pleasing.

Art-a-Whirl

The new labels are done, and ready to be printed! And boy o boy, are they amazing! My graphic designer friend, Randy, did a really amazing job. I can't wait to unveil them!

Perfect timing because Abby and I are sharing a booth at Art-a-Whirl (May 14th-16th) in NE Minneapolis.

Here's a map of the festivities. Come join us!

Lip Balm Update

I'm reworking my organic lip balm recipe to make it vegan-friendly!

I'm also adding new flavors. So far I have Peppermint, Vanilla, Basil, and Lavender. I'm looking to add Vanilla-mint, Basil-mint, and a new Signature flavor.

In addition to this, I'm also working with my graphic designer friend, Randy, to come up with new labels!

Very exciting stuff.

Keep checking my Etsy shop.

UPDATES

Oooooh k. I haven't posted here in a while. Whoops! Anyway, so here's the deal. I've noticed that my posts are kind of all over the place. So I decided to create more blogs, and compartmentalize a little bit more (lol). So here's a breakdown:

+ Look Amused will be primarily for my Etsy shop and other related articles.

+ The Better Beauty Bureau will be primarily for my health related and skin care posts (so that's where those went), as well as related articles.

+ Gimme The Skinny, a blog I co-write with my BFF Abby, will detail our fitness and weight-loss goals, as well as related articles.

+ Burbley, pronounced burble-ee (hence the extra "E"), will function as my person blog.

+ Short Stories & Tall Tales will be a chronicle of stories and dreams.

So please poke around if you'd like... besides Gimme The Skinny and The BBB, there's not much to see yet, but that'll change soon :)
