Day #1 - LUSH Blackberry Bath Bomb

When I decided to do the 15 days of my favorite things,
the very first thing that popped into my head was LUSH Cosmetics.


Roughly four years ago I came across this amazing company,
and to this day, I'm still not sure how I actually discovered them,
(I'm pretty sure it was in a magazine somewhere, but who knows :P)

but I DO know that they are definitely in my top five favorite companies EVER.
My sisters and I are thoroughly addicted to all of their products,
but there is one item that makes m
y list of 15 favorites...



LUSH calls this an "uplifting berry burst of goodness" and that's EXACTLY what it is.
For those of you who don't know what a bath bomb is,
it's a delightful little ball of fizz that you drop into your bath
to not only scent the bathwater,
but also contains skin softeners that, in the case of LUSH, really do work!
This one turns the water a beautiful purple, and makes your skin so soft.
You'll also step out of the bath smelling so good
you won't be able to stop sniffing yourself :P
Your clothes will smell good, your bathroom will smell good...
I just can't tell you enough how freaking amazing this bath bomb smells.
I go so far as to put these in my underwear drawer before I use them :P


You simply must click on any of the pictures above,
and order one for yourself.

You won't be disappointed :)

If you want to be a pirate, get up on your feet.


I was trying to think of a way to integrate some reviews of my favorite things into my blog, and somehow commit myself to posting here more often. I know when I have something to say, the words come easily enough, but I generally tend to go weeks in between postings because I just can't think of something I want to say that would be worth taking the time to talk about.


SO, in light of all of that, I've decided to kick start my blog a bit more than I already have, by doing a little thing I've decided to call "15 Days of My Favorite Things". Basically, I'm going to take 15 days and on each day, let you all know about something I personally love in the cosmetic/beauty industry, and why said thing is worth your time to try it out. Be it makeup, cosmetics, or even clothing and shoes, I want to let all of you know about some of the wonderful things I've come across in my years of addiction to all things beautiful :)

Keep an eye out tomorrow (or the next day :P) for the very first entry!

BTW, for those of you who don't know, my sister SaraSophia and I have a clothing line of eco-friendly, up-cycled clothing for sale.

An ode to my twin sister, Amanda.

Being sick, and bored, and stuck at home watching old Amanda Bynes movies has reminded me of one (or several) crucial fact(s) about myself that I had long since forgotten.



I am goofy.
I am weird.
I am not poised,
or composed,
or mature,
but that's ok.

I am strange,
and silly,
and sometimes a little manly.

But that's ok.

There is someone in the world who will love me for precisely that.
And if you already know me,
and do not love me for the oddity that I am,
I do not want you in my life.

I will continue to take five hours to get dressed,
only to end up wearing the wrong thing,
and saying the wrong thing,
and painting my nails funky colors,
and changing my hair at least once a week,

but that is me.

And if you do not like it,
and will not love me in spite of,
or because of all my abnormalities,
then you can just go home.
I do not need you in my life.

I am proud of the weirdo I've become.

And you should be too.

Just a few words on R.E.A.L. Love.


I'm pretty sure it exists,
I'm just not sure where it's hiding.

Funny how it takes the absence of something to make you realize just. how. much. you love it.

I do not care about looks.
I do not care about wealth.
I do not care about brains.

I care only that you treat me sweetly,
and hold me closely.

....Oh, do come home.

Imissyoualready.


Nonononononononono.

I don't even know what I'm trying to say.

Just that,
I LOVE YOU.

And I want you to realize that you really do love me too.
