Sassy Splash Review and Giveaway!  

*Crafty Christmas*

So, most everyone loves to receive bath products as gifts. I know I do! So I am thrilled to be able to work with Sassy Splash. I love sugar scrubs, and was really happy to try one with a scent that is perfect for holiday gift giving!

I adore this logo!  Seriously, how cute is that lil duck?!  I love packaging that expresses so much of what someone has in store to share with their handmade product.

How great of a stocking stuffer is this?!

 Wow, this stuff is amazing.  I can't believe how it made my skin feel after. So super soft.  Plus, the scent! It was lightly scented and filled the air and the water with the most wonderful scent of candy canes! Sassy Splash offers several different scents and products.  I especially think that the  Apple Spice Bath Salt and Yummy Bubbles Bubblegum Bubble Bath would certainly be amazing!

I love, love, love this scrub!!  This is a great stocking stuffer or gift (buy several to make a gift basket!)


Be sure to get your orders in early to get your scrubs before Christmas!

Isadoras Gourmet Goods Review and Giveaway

Isadoras Gourmet Goods Review and Giveaway

Isadora's Gourmet Goods is created from a farm that lies along the Columbia River in Washington. It is a family business, that, from veggie and fruit gardens,  makes wonderful, healthful certified organic products.

This is certainly one of my favorite new shops! I had so much fun reviewing this lovely shop.  The flavors sooth your spirit and make your taste-buds so happy! But not only that, the scents from the lavender infused items invigorated your senses! 

I am so excited when I here about a sustainable shop... I love to garden, but am not able to get much from it.  So when someone dedicates so much to creating their product, it means so much more when you take the time to enjoy it.

First we had a chance to review some jam.

 This is the Organic Lavender Jam

 

 

 LOVE this!!

  

 It is smooth, fragrant, and yummy.  I cannot believe how good it is.  While you can put this on many things, I learned my favorite thing to put it on is homemade biscuits!!  It has a wonderful fresh flavor. 

The Organic Blackberry Lavender Jam...

No junk!! Only the freshest ingredients. I think it is wonderful that Isadora's grows what they put in their products.  I can just imagine the rows of lavender that are growing to put in this wonderful jam!

 

 The pickled beets!

 

 Our beets are ready to be eaten... and eaten they were!  They were better than I remember my great grandmother's pickled beets to be.  I don't know how, but these were pickled to perfection.

 

 Seseame Ginger Sauce and Marinade 

 We marinated the chicken...

Ok, so here's where I oops-ed.  The chicken smell and looked SO GOOD...

I forgot to get a picture of the finished product!!! We just wanted to eat it and I forgot!

So, ----insert beautifully cooked chicken that smells delicious and tastes even better here----- (how is that possible??!!  It smells amazing!)

But, the flavor was spot on.  So, so delish!!  The best Sesame Ginger glaze we have had to date!

Isadoras Gourmet Goods has many other different items as well... from Organic Lavender Honey Mustard to Bistro Dressing and Organic Pepper Jelly, you can certainly find something to add to your table!  Be sure to check them out!

Giveaway Closed. Congratulations Becky!

Bliss Soap Review and Giveaway!

Bliss Soap

I love scents. It's something that can so simply rejuvenate your senses. So I adore Bliss Soap!

I received the lilac soap and as soon as I opened the box it was shipped in it made me happy.  The smell washed over me and I knew this product would be awesome.

I love lilacs, but they just don't grow in Florida. However, the smell is unlike any other flower. It is so unique.  I don't know how, but Bliss Soap contained the scent!!!  It is wonderful.  It's not overpowering but it fills the air (and your skin!!) with a divine smell. I love the way this "suds" on my hands and gives it a wonderful clean feeling.

Also, check out this hard lotion!!

I honestly have never tried a hard lotion before. But I get terrible dry skin from working in my garden and in the winter when the air is more dry and I know for sure this will make a difference. I have never felt anything like it.  It is certainly unique.  Again, the scent is amazing. But what I really like about this vs. regular lotions is how it stays on my skin and smooths it out so quickly.  I love these products for myself and my family, however these products make amazing gifts!  I can't wait to share these with my friends!  I can just imagine making up gift baskets of these products as gifts!  How special would someone feel getting something that will rejuvenate them?!

Check out some of the other products that Bliss Soap offers!

Wouldn't this T K O soap be amazing for the man in your life?! It sounds wonderful!!

What about a lovely Sea Salt Scrub for yourself?! I can just imagine how wonderful this smells!!

I am so in love with this Coconut Cream scent! It sounds delicious!!


Giveaway Closed! Congrats Chrissy!
