Fabulous Friday Finds

I have some more favorites of mine I thought I'd share with you.  Hope you like them!

First up is Belle Blossoms.  I must admit that I am pretty handy with a glue gun, hair clips, and silk flowers, but Belle Blossoms has it down to an art form.  Belle Blossoms is a website that offers handmade hair accessories with a vintage flair.  Heather is the owner and creator of the most beautiful rose hair clip I own.  I joined Belle Blossoms' Blossom of the Month Club last month and I expected a pretty hair clip, but what I got was a gorgeous, well crafted, stunning pink rose hair clip.  This rose is so life like I thought it was real for a minute.  The way her Blossom of the Month Club works is you sign up for either a small, medium, or large flower and once a month, your credit card is charged, and a suprise arrives shortly after the first of the following month.  She even ships internationally!  Not only did I get this beautiful clip, I got a code for a 15% discount on any order in June.  Lucky for you, I get to share it with you!  If you enter BOMJUNE at check out, you too can save 15% on your order through the end of June!  So scoot on over to Belle Blossoms here and get some hair pretties!

Last time, I told you about my obsession with You Tube make-up videos and my find Kandee Johnson.  She reviewed Alba's Un-Petroleum Jelly and I just had to try it.  This stuff is awesome!  It is super hydrating and perfect for keeping summer feet happy and looking pretty.  I found mine at Whole Foods, but if you don't have a Whole Foods, you can check out Alba's website.

Last, but not least, I have a fragrance.  I am NOT a perfume person at all.  I am really sensitive to most perfume-y, synthetic smells and rarely find something I like.  I spotted this near the counter in Sephora and I love it!  It is LAVANILA and it is all natural and skin friendly.  This is the Healthy Fragrance Roller Ball in Vanilla Coconut.  You can check out all the fabulous goddies LAVANILA has to offer here.

I've decided to start a new post here at Nail'd & Polish'd.  Nail polish is huge for me, but I love make-up, jewelry, lotions, fragrance, and all sorts of other things that make me a girlie girl.  So, I thought from time to time, I would do a post and share my favorites.  I hope you enjoy!

The first item that I want to share is my new obession-You Tube make-up videos!  I knew they existed, but now I am completely obsessed.  My favorite channel (I guess that's what it's called?) is kandeejohnson.  Kandee Johnson is simply amazing.  She is an awesome make-up artist and an overall inspiration.  Her videos are funny and entertaining.  She has the most amazing and positive outlook on life and living.  I now follwer her blog, on twitter, and facebook.  If you have not checked her out, you must!

I love etsy.  I love Day of the Dead, cherries, and skulls.  I found a great little store on there that has all of them!  Cherry Forever has great jewelry and hair accessories.  This is the Day of the Dead necklace I bought a little while back.

You can find her here.

Lastly, I have Zoya Hot Lips.  If you have not tried these, you really need to!  They are super glossy with a little pop of color.  I don't find them sticky at all and to me, sticky is icky.  These 2 colors are my favorites right now.  I have several of these, but Sorbet and Brody's Girl are perfect for this time of year.  Zoya Hot Lips can be found here.

Brody's Girl & Sorbet

Sorbet is a pale orange or peachy color with a fine dusting of shimmer.  Brody's Girl is a coral creme.  When I saw Brody's Girl, I HAD to have it!  My youngest son's name is Brody. 

Hope you enjoyed todays Fabulous Friday Finds!  Have a great weekend!
