LuckyScent

So LuckyScent.com is a huge online perfume shop that has what I'd call couture fragrances that you definitely won't find in your local department store. These perfumes are not inexpensive, but you can get samples for most of them.

I recently broke down and purchased five samples, that I received the other day. Look for my thoughts on those soon.

Pegasus Soaps - Liquid African Black Soap

So Pegasus Soaps is a new Etsy find for me. I was looking for a sugar scrub in cube form, so I can take a single cube in the shower per use.

I also found the liquid black soap and thought it looked interesting. Several years ago I used a product from Philosophy, called Power Shower, it's been discontinued, but this soap seemed similar. I purchased a 1 or 2 oz sample.

So I tested it today and I really like it. It smells earthy, you can pick a scent, I picked Caribbean therapy, which I thought was the Aveda version. So mine may or may not be scented, can't tell, but whatever it is I like the earthy scent.

Also, I need to add that this Etsy seller shipped SO fast!!

I'll review the sugar scrub when I use it.

Wylde Ivy - Monoi de Tahiti Oil

Monoi de Tahiti oil also know as Monoi de Tiare is oil infused with Tahitian gardenias, and it smells fabulous.

To me it smells like a vanilla flower, that's the only way I can describe it. It's a light feminine floral, with a creamy undertone.

I'm not usually the person that likes florals, but this oil is just one fantastic flower.

I'm going to need a giant bottle of this stuff for the beach this summer.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all!!

Wanted to say it's been very hectic here, but fun!

I have a couple samples to review, but it's been SO busy that I haven't had time to even try them out.

One is from Ophelia's Apothecary, called Black Raspberry Vanilla. I sniffed the sample and it smelled fantastic, but I knew I couldn't do the review, so look for that to come.

Happy New Year!!

Tea

Hey all...just found a great Etsy shop for the tea lover, teaforallreasons.etsy.com

Now I'm not really a tea connoisseur, but I do like to drink mostly herbal teas when I do.

I really went looking for a gift for my mother. You know the older woman with everything.

Just through a category search for black tea, I was able to find this great shop.

It has some really unique blends. I plan to try the Back Porch Blend in the summer as suggested, for iced tea.

So, for my mother, I got personalized gift set, of five types of coffee and a four cup tea ball.

The shop has a unique option for brewing, tea sacks. You use them like tea bags. I just chose to go the reusable option.

So, Marsha, the shop owner was great to work with.

Hoping my mom likes the teas!!
