Ailu & Rofa ~ Product Review

{ About Ailu & Rofa }
-Each one is handmade by me, not an independent consultant for a giant corporation. I'm very proud to make these instead of just selling something made by a machine.
- My soaps are all made from bases with no artificial anything in them. No SLS, no preservatives, no chemical cleansing agents or so on. I do use Fragrance Oil (as opposed to Essential Oil) so all of my soaps are almost 100% natural (unless otherwise noted).
- I welcome special orders for any occasion. Need party favors? Okay. Want a special scent or color I don't currently make? I'll make you a loaf. If I can make it, I will do it.

Ingredients for each soap are listed on their respective Etsy pages. The ingredients in your Cranberry Ginger Ale Bar are: Coconut oil, palm oil, safflower oil, kosher vegetable glycerin, purified water, sodium hydroxide, sorbitol, sorbitan oleate, soybean protein, fragrance oil, and pigments.

Other bars include goat's milk as well, but if ever in doubt, they are listed.

I recently had the opportunity to review a bar of lucious soap from Ailu & Rofa.  The soap that I received was Cranberry Ginger Ale scented!  My favorite drink during the holidays is now my favorite scent to wear year-round!!!  I really enjoyed the scent of the soap as well as the way it lathered and cleansed.  It left my skin feeling fresh and smelling pretty with the light scent of cranberries and fizzy ginger ale!

One of my favorite things about Ailu & Rofa is their variety of unique and fun scents like 

banana bonanza, raspberry parfait, chocolate raspberry, midnight mocha madness, strawberry smoothie and bamboo-zled!

They also have some really neat soaps shaped like slices of pie!

These are available in lemon meringue, apple and pumpkin :) 

Ailu & Rofa is more than soap! They also specialize in lip balms, bath bombs and sewn goods!

Chocolate Buttercreme Lip Balm

(also available in peppermint, orange, creamsicle and buttercream)

Bath Bombs available in peach, lavenderlicious, hawaiian escape, raspberry, chocolate, bamboo-zled, yuzu and peach

Their sewn goods include these neat animal hammocks!

Ailu & Rofa has lots of wonderful products that you are not going to want to miss out on!

Product Review: Pink Zebra

Recently I reviewed a product from a fun, trendy new company.  April Praskovich with Pink Zebra scent us a sample of their Sprinkles, soy candle-bits that can be melted in a warmer or on top of another candle.  The scent that I received was Sweet Pea and Lily.  These sprinkles filled my home with the soft, springy smell of sweet pea and lily.  I also loved how long the fragrance lasted. 

Pink Zebra has lots of beautiful products! My favorite is the simmer lights!

The sprinkles can even be poured on top of a candle to mix the scents!

And their Reed Diffusers are SO pretty!

They sent us the Betsey Johnson Polka Dot Necklace to review!

I was thrilled to open my tiger-striped wrapped package when it came in the mail.  Inside was a simply gorgeous Betsey Johnson necklace!  The multi-strand necklace is funky, fun, and full of personality, just like me!!! ;) It features three different strands with butterfly, anchor, and skull charms with a pink polka-dot rose.  Definitely a statement piece!   I love Betsey's style and I am head over heels in love with this necklace!!!

Cover Up In Style

In the summer time, even when its 100 degrees outside, I tend to get a little cold when we go into restaurants, etc. from the AC. I always carry along a cute little cardigan to cover up my arms. 

After years of wearing the same ol' sweaters, I decided I needed to find another stylish way to cover up!

I was reading my latest issue of "Everyday with Rachel Ray" when in their fashion

section they suggested wearing a cute little cropped blazer!

I had never really thought about a blazer...since when I imagine a blazer I imagine a nice pair of dress pants to go along with it...but after checking out the lovely Pinterest, I realized it really does look cute!

Here are a few of my favorite pairs....

Product Review: Joey Miller

joey miller is a company that specializes in beautiful fabric creations for your kitchen and home.

They sent us a beautiful table runner and a set of four cloth napkins.

Just a couple of Saturdays ago I attended a lovely tea party with my best friend, my mom, and my grandmother. The tables were decorated so nicely with lovely linens and such.

When I left I told my husband (while we were headed to the beach) how much I'd love to have some beautiful linens. I've never had anything like that.

Little did I know I had received a review item in the mail that I'd find on Monday when we returned home!

I was so excited when I opened up my package from joey miller! 

They were beautiful! I was in love with the colors and patterns and they would match my dining room perfectly! I couldn't wait to unpack them and put them out on my table.

My little napkin holder even looked cute with it!

joey miller has lots of fun items. Here are a few of my favorites
