Vintage Obsessed!

Recently, I've been noticing vintage jewelry more often. (Vintage Cloisonne Enamel Bangle by Vintage4U). Right now, I want an enamel bangle-I hardly ever wear jewelry. And something about enamel+thin bangle=right!

I think the idea of a poison ring is cool, because it would be useful for keeping small items in it.

The Wanted Jacket

I haven't posted in forever, but I WILL get the sakura pictures here, I hope soon... Anyway, in the meantime, I've finally found a jacket I like, from Target. That sounds easy, right? Just drive over to Target, find it, pay for it... but it's gone. I should have picked it up last time I was there, but I didn't! Now it's only available online, and I don't want to pay shipping...
I have no idea why I like it so much, but I know I won't find another good jacket for the price! Only $16...

Product Review: Burt's Bees Lemon Butter Cuticle Creme

Such a nice product. First off: it's great, it moisturizes, my cuticles look(or used to look, before I forgot about this) better, and it smells like LEMONS. It contains sweet almond oil, cocoa butter, and sunflower oil, so it is very moisturizing, but slightly greasy, which I didn't really mind. My only catch with this is that it can be slightly hard, but my other extremities have a low temperature. Even though Spring has officially sprung, this is still a must-have. Go get one today!

Bath Bombs!

A few days/weeks ago, I was making bath bombs for some friends and decided to put them in cupcake wrappers.
I call this scent Spring Forward, and it's a blend of Brambleberry Bonsai and leftovers from this other one,
Tranquil Breeze. I also mixed a bit of Cybilla Creamsicle too, so now it smells really tasty.
Next project: Sugar scrub!
Now off to hunt for a recipe... Happy Spring!

It's still cold...

I haven't really posted for a long time, more like a month. It has been sunny, and a definite end to winter. Today, though, the sunlight outside seems to be fluctuating. It was supposed to rain( which we definitely need!), but it was sunny for a few minutes, and really seemed like spring. Then, the clouds started covering up the sun. However, just when it was starting to sprinkle this morning, the sun came out again. If something is controlling the weather, they're either bipolar or having a seizure. However, the nature does not seem to mind.

We also have a freesia plant, and it smells sooo good. If Brambleberry comes up with a freesia scent, I want it. Freesias are not obnoxious or heavy, like gardenias, they just smell floral and fresh. Perfect for spring.

Also, our lemon tree is bearing fruit! Only a few lemons are yellow, though. The rest are still greenish.
Happy spring!

Product Review: EO Nourishing Hand Cream

In the winter/fall/all year, I have dry skin. In the winter particularly, I have very dry hands. In fact, my hands are so dry that they cracked on my knuckles, and on the back of my hands. So now my hand is a scarred mess. It took so long to finally find a hand lotion that I liked, but this one from EO is pretty good. It moisturizes normal skin well, and the consistency is nice, but looks ... lumpy. When you rub it in, it isn't, but because it looks that way, it puts me off a little. The scent at first reminded me of patchouli, but it started smelling like lemon verbena (that was the scent) a second later. This cream is mostly natural, and has essential oils in it, so so can feel better about putting it on your skin. Beware, however, that it is not completely natural. Also, it doen't heal cracked and scarred skin that well, but overall, pretty good!

Ackk..

I've been gone for so long! Amazing things, though, have happened since I was gone. The inauguration, for one. It was simply amazing, and we even got to watch it in school! Plus, we have a project about Japanese culture coming up soon. I chose sushi! So now, I have to make sushi at school! Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make sushi of any kind. Better than writing an essay, though, right?
