Obsession

Any of my "long time readers" (whom I apologize to for neglecting this blog so much) know that I have a *slight* (read: insatiable) obsession for chap stick/lip balm. It's not that I WEAR it all the time, I just love it, I love buying it, I love finding new hand made lip balms, I love it all!

I have been a reader of flipflopmamma's blog for quite awhile now (sorry for not commenting!!!) so I knew when she opened up her Etsy shop, and I put off making a purchase until last week.

Um, I am SO sorry I waited this long! I purchased one of her lip balms in my favorite flavor - peppermint! Not only did it smell yummy, but it tasted yummy (you lip balm lovers know what I mean :-P No, I did not EAT the lip balm!), and my favorite part? It made my lips tingly!! Oooh, I love me some tingly lip balm!


Anyway, I just love to share a good product when I try one - so here is one! If you're not a lip balm addict like me, perhaps you're a caffeine addict (like me) and would like some coffee body scrub? Mmm... I love the smell of coffee. I wonder if I would love smelling like coffee? I think I would. Oh, my next purchase from flipflopmamma might actually be the Spiced Chai - I would love to sit with a friend (or my lovely mother in love who shares my love for Chai) and sip on some hot chai. Mmmm... I've read some really good reviews on it too!

So go check out Bee Simple/FlipFlopMamma! She's a rockin' mama, sporting some Sa-Weet dreads (jealous!!), and she's crafty! She's one cool mama!

Worth Every Penny.

Remember a couple days ago when I posted about my impulse buy?

It came today {big grin}

I'll admit I had a bit of buyers remorse after I made the purchase because of the money spent, but when I got a personal message/convo sent to me from Rachelle herself, it all went away. And boy was I surprised at the super fast shipping when I opened my door this morning!!

Rachelle had given me a tip about putting the caramels in the fridge as soon as I got them, in case they had gotten a bit soft in their travels. And I did.

After I snitched one first. {wink}

Oh. My. Word. That beautiful little roll of delicious goodness just melted in my mouth! It was SO good! And actually, as I sit here typing, I have the bag of them sitting in front of me, oh so lovely and chilled and yummy... And I've got 3 innocent little wrappers already piled up, hoping I will turn 3 into 4... and so on and so forth.

So my review? 5 out of 5 stars. Deliciously amazing. And 100% worth it. Thanks Rachelle!!

SURPRISE in my mailbox!!!

About a month ago, Wonder Mommy was having a giveaway - a big giveaway - and I entered to win! Well, I was shocked to get an email from Wonder Mommy recently telling me that I had WON! Not only that, but I won the BIG prize! The pattern AND the yard of fabric! I was beyond thrilled!


Well, it's been crazy around here, and honestly, I had forgotten about it. Until I got the mail today. Inside was a package that felt soft yet heavy. I was racking my brain trying to remember if I'd bought anything recently, but I didn't remember doing that. So when I opened it up to see what was inside, I was THRILLED! I think I squealed out loud ;-)



The pattern is adorable. And the one yard of fabric is amazing! AAANNNNDDD... The extra YARD of fabric that Wonder Mommy threw in as an extra is gorgeous as well!!! What a fabulous package!! I love it all and can't WAIT to try out this pattern!!!


Thank you SO SO much Wonder Mommy - you totally made my day!!!
