Etsy Shop Review-Simply Rustic Natural Skin Care

  Today I'm going to be reviewing one of  my all time favorite etsy shops (and the list seems to keep growing,so many amazing shops on there!).This shop is called "Simply Rustic" ,and the lovely shop owner's name is Amanda.
I tend to have dry skin,so I tried a few different body butters,though she does have other things like lip polish and balms,face cleansers and masks and body scrubs.
Amanda even made a new scent for me when I asked.I love vanilla,and also loved the one with coconut oil,and thought putting some vanilla oil with it would be wonderful.People say it reminds them of the beach,and it kinda does for me,too,thought it mostly smells like vanilla cake to me.It's called "Tranquility",and she doesn't have it listed yet,since it's a new product,but keep a lookout for it in her shop or ask her about it if you're interested. :) That one and the "Nighty Night" are my two top faves...though they are all my favorites.

Right now she is having a sale on all of her body butters,as well as a few other great deals on some other products!You can get four butters of your choice for $27.Normally they are $9 each,so that means if you buy four,you will be getting one free.
You can shop all sales here.

Alright,now to review the ones I got. :)

Whipped Nighty Night Body Butter - Great for Babies and Children, Fair Trade, Wildcrafted
This one is amazing.I got it when I had the flu,and put it on my neck,and found it helped a lot.It helps with pain in general a little,and I think it would be good for massages.It also smells really nice.I had one of my friends smell it,and she didn't want to give it back!haha.It has Roman Chamomile and Lavender Essential Oil in it and the butter is organic fair trade shea butter, grape seed oil, beeswax,and vitamin E oil.

 Whipped Raspberry Body Butter - Organic Raspberry Flavor Extract, Fair Trade Organic
 Has a nice,light scent (at least,it's light to me),and does smell like raspberries. :) I do really like this one for summer.

NOW Vegan Whipped Mmm...Yummy Body Butter - Simply Shea Butter, Organic Virgin Coconut Oil and Cocoa Butter

  I love this one a lot,and since it's unscented besides it's own natural smell,it's a great one to use when you want to wear a perfume.I think this one makes my skin the softest,it's got a very silky texture cause of the coconut oil.


Now VEGAN Whipped Paradise Body Butter - Organic Virgin Coconut Oil/Lime Essential Oil, Organic, Fair Trade, Wildcrafted
  This one I actually didn't use,but got for a friend.I did smell it,though,and it smelled amazing as well.It's pretty much the same as the other coconut butter besides the lime oil.I would buy this one for myself later.

I was wondering what to do with the containers once I used up all the butter,I didn't want to throw them away.Well,I realized you can wash and dry them,and then use them for storing craft supplies,I think they would even work to give gifts in.

I'm looking forward to trying these someday. :)
Whipped Relax Body Butter -Wildcrafted Lavender Essential Oil, Fair Trade Organic

Relax Body Scrub - Cleanse, Exfoliate, Moisturize - Fair Trade, Organic, Wildcrafted
 
Whipped Revive Body Butter - Organic Pumpkin Seed Oil & Carrot Seed Oil, Fair Trade, Wildcrafted
 I read in her shop reviews that a customer used to use Burt's Bees carrot lotion and I remember that lotion,so I think I'd like this one. :)

So sorry it's been so long since I've last blogged!It seems like I am saying that every 6 months or so,I guess I'm just not very good at blogging regularly.But I have some new designs to show you,some new ones I'm working on,and some etsy shop reviews,as well,so be expecting some posts from me this month. :)
 Here is a photo of a gorgeous star lantern I got recently that I wanted to show you.
P.S. Oh,and that post about anonymous spam comments?I got a ton of anonymous spam comments on it,I guess they thought it was just an invitation for a spam party. ;)

Anonymous Spam Comments Can Sometimes Be Hilarious

Ever since I made it so anonymous comments can be made on my blog,I've had quite a few spam comments which generally made no sense whatsoever and I usually ignore them unless they aren't in the spam folder and need to be deleted.Well,a few days ago I got one of those,and found this particular one really amusing.
Here's what it said:
"Hello to child on this bad forum. Skedaddle to me start myself. I am doktor and i am event this site :
diziler
Waiting after all these friends.

Even The Winter

I just wanted to share one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite singers,Audrey Assad.
 As you can see by the lyrics below,it has a line in it about April.I meant to write this post a few weeks back,actually,and decided since this was the last day of April,I better go ahead and do it!haha. :)
In Oregon,we had a very long rainy winter,and I was really missing the sun,so I would play this song and sing it to remind me the sun would reappear again.And it got me thinking about how the lyrics can apply to a lot of things in life,relationships,jobs,dreams....


What if we find ourselves beneath the snow,
our warmest words all frozen in our throats
and all we feel is left out in the cold,
you & I?

What if the days grow short & lose their light?
What if the coals burn black & the embers die
& we can't find each other in the night?
You and I...

Even the winter won't last forever...
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun
We'll wake up in April, ready & able
Sowing the seeds in the soil
of love

What if the ice we tread is just too thin?
What if we can't escape the squall we're in?
What if our hearts of stone are permanent,
you & I?

Even the winter won't last forever...
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun
We'll wake up in April, ready & able
Sowing the seeds in the soil
of love

What if the spring comes soon
& we're surprised?
What if the seasons help us realize,
some things are only proven over time?

Even the winter won't last forever...
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun
We'll wake up in April, ready & able
Sowing the seeds in the soil
Even the darkness cannot disarm us
We'll see the morning, we'll feel the sun
We'll break up the earth, because we know
that it's worth it
Sowing the seeds in the soil of our lov

My Etsy Shop Is Back! :)

So I thought I would let you all know that my etsy shop is back.I'm pretty happy about that! :D
I ended up getting the flu Sunday,so I've been kinda knocked off my feet,and will probably be recovering for the rest of the week.
But I have some new items I've made,and will take photos of them and list them on etsy once I feel better and the weather is nice.
Here is a pic I got before of some hairpins I made a few weeks ago.I made some with clear seed beads and gold color wire,too.It's like the "Blossoming Branch" hair combs,but as hairpins.

Dainty Ivory and Silver Wire Wrapped Blossoming Branch Hairpins-Set of 3
Then I made some hairpins like these,but in different color combinations.Clear crystal with gold wire,champagne crystal with gold,purple and silver,and a few others.

Crystal and Silver Wire-wrapped Hairpins.Set of 5
I've made some other things,too,but I'll let that be a surprise! ;)
