Fabulous Finds: Pomegranate Fig Laundry Soap

When I get super busy with orders, I tend to buy little things to "sooth" and "pamper" myself. I decided to try some handcrafted laundry soap from Maylee's Garden on Etsy about a month ago and have been addicted every since! Everything she says about her soap is true.

Because of allergies, I have had to buy fragrance free soap and dryer sheets for the last couple of years. So...needless to say, buying laundry soap with fragrance was a gamble! I have no issues whatsoever with the Pomegranate Fig, Lilac, or Lavender Vanilla. All have the perfect amount of fragrance which lingers days after the linens are washed.

I highly recommend this soap....not only does it do a wonderful job of cleaning your clothes and linens but it is a wonderful little "pamper" if you need it!

New ~ Bliss Candle Holder by jneale3!

New at Jneale3! The Bliss Candle Holder:

"This little beauty was made out of discarded cedar fencing material. The fence was in excess of 20 years old, and the owner gave me the material after he tore it down. And now you get to enjoy it in your own home!"

Check it out or buy it HERE.

Be sure to check out Jneale3's shop for more awesome candle holders made out of a variety of beautiful wood products.

While the Bliss Candle Holder was made for Bliss Candles, any standard jelly jar will fit. The same holds true with the other items in his shop. If you have a candle vendor you prefer (like Bliss Candles :)), chances are your preferred vendor's votives and jars will fit holders made for another vendor's product as well. Just ask!

Have fun shopping in this awesome Etsy shop! http://jneale3.etsy.com

Fabulous Find: Solid Perfume - Romance

I indulged myself quite a bit over the holidays with great Etsy finds! One of my favorites is this "Romance" solid perfume from The Copper Cauldron. The fragrance is very soft and enticing.

Here is part of the listing description:

"This particular scent is based on the fragrance by R.L. This is one heavenly floral scent! Top notes of rose, muguet, and lilac with touches of apricot blossom, heliotrope, iris, sandalwood, amber, and musk. A truly feminine fragrance that is not to be missed. Just put a touch of this on all your pulse points. The best time to apply is right after you've toweled off after a shower (with the matching soap of course!) when your pores are open. Of course you can reapply when you feel the need to freshen up.This solid perfume comes in a lovely hinged tin... perfect for on the go! No messy spills!

Made from olive oil, shea butter, beeswax, and fragrance oils. There is no greasy feeling with application and it melts beautifully into your skin."
