Fragrant Jewels: Shipment One

So I decided to try a new Subscription Box... Remember when that was all I did??  I'm sure most of you have heard of the company Fragrant Jewels.  They create candles, bath bombs, and other fun products, all with rings hidden inside!

The first box I received was a present for a friend, and I liked hers so much I decided to try it out as well!  I really wanted a candle though, and sadly this box didn't contain one.  But regardless, this is the Sweet Retreat collection.  The scent is described as "Cool Marine Breeze, Fresh Lavender, and Soothing Chamomile."  It is a bit to floral and fragrant to be especially soothing, but it is very nice and bright for spring.

The first item in the box were mini bath bombs.  I actually prefer this size of bath bombs to the big ones!  I was, however, afraid that since they were mini that this product wouldn't come with a ring, which kind of defeats the purpose of Fragrant "Jewels" doesn't it?  But no worries!  There was one tucked inside the bag!

Aside from the mini bombs, I also got a full sized bomb!  This one has already been used, and it was lovely!  It turned the bath a beautiful lavender color, but didn't dye the bathtub.  My skin was fragrant and soft after the bath, and the ring floated right up to the top!

Finally, I also got a sugar scrub.  Normally in a box you only get two items, but I guess they did three with this to equate the value of a candle.  This scrub also had a ring in it!  The scrub sticks together very well, unlike some sugar scrubs that are difficult to scoop because they fall apart.  It isn't the most abrasive, but it is nice nonetheless!

In case you are wondering, the rings come packaged like this to keep them safe from the water, scrubs, and bombs.  They look a bit like gum ball rings!  The gold slip in there is a code you enter in on the website.  It will tell you the value of the ring, give you reward points to redeem on the website, and enter you to win a $10,000 ring!

And finally, what we have all been waiting for, the rings!  I don't wear silver a lot, but these truly are very pretty rings!  The bands on the left and right are very similar, but they are simple, and exactly what I want in a ring.  I know I won't get as much use out of the purple, but it is very pretty as well!

Overall, I am very happy with the box in retrospect.  Even though I really wanted a candle initially, and I would have preferred gold, getting three rings makes up for it!

Homemade Beauty: Ice Facial

It may not sound very pleasant, but running an ice cube over your face has a ton of benefits for your skin! They will help to smooth your complexion by combating fat cells, easing wrinkles, fighting acne, and promoting blood circulation that will help heal past blemishes!  Be sure to  wrap the cubes  in a paper towel, or a baggie  because applying them directly to your skin can cause delicate blood vessels to break For an added  benefits to this  treatment, try freezing your cubes with watermelon, lemon, or rose!

Homemade Beauty... Banana Sugar Body Scrub

You will need... 1 ripe banana 3 tablespoons granulated sugar ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract or your favorite essential oil (optional) Smash ingredients together with a fork into a chunky goop, but don't over-mash or it will become too thin to use. If you want a banana scrub for your face, reserve some of the banana and mash it separately without sugar. In the shower, pat the sugar mixture and gently massage over your body. For your face, gently massage plain banana there, avoiding the eye area. Rinse off with warm water. Credit to  http://www.treehugger.com/organic-beauty/8-homemade-salt-and-sugar-body-scrubs.html

But missing that day was worth it because he feels so much better today :) We had waffles again foe breakfast this morning, which were just as good as the day before. Now we are driving across the road to the Wright Brothers Memorial. 11:00 AM We just left the Memorial/museum!
