Holiday Gift Guide - You are getting Sleepy...

We all know how important sleep is, 

and often how hard it is to get!

Imagine giving the glorious gift of sleep this holiday season.

A few fabulous finds for a full forty winks...

In these days before Christmas, 

we all long to settle down for a long winter's nap.

A cozy throw blanket with jolly Etsy tag, a

  soft, fluffy knit pillow and my "secret" slumber salve 

Sleepy from Lush...

This lotion has changed my life.  

I don't know exactly why but it's creamy and smells dreamy 

and I'm nodding off in no time...

 

There's no better way to wind down after a long day than with 

a warm cup of Sleepytime Tea.

A few sips and you'll be slumbering in seconds...

And is there anything more relaxing than pretty flowers to sooth your mind?

Chamomile tea is known for it's calming qualities 

but I feel my tension lifting by just looking at it!

Take a glimpse before you shut your eyes, then pop on a sleep mask 

and it's 

Sweet Dreams Baby...

Blow them away for Back to School

Do you smell that?
The scent of summer is slowly fading and the strong aroma of school is filling the air.

Everyone in our house is in agreement...

going Back to School stinks!

I have picked a few special treats to help everyone breath a little easier, 

and hopefully smile as they pack their supplies.

The perfect noses...

so everyone stays sharp!

Sniff them out in my Etsy Shop

I've got your Back...to school - 1st day gifts

We all have them.

The friends that always have your back.

As a new school year approaches, 

I've started to think about the people I count on 

to help to navigate the crazy menagerie of teenagers, carpools, missing forms, 

random questions and basic hand holding.

Some would say, 

"It takes a village"...

It is nice to know there are people behind you and visa versa, 

so I decided to put together a few 1st day gifts...

Print your Back to School Tags here.

I got my back massagers/scrubbers at Michael's 

but they are available at most drug stores.

Bachelorette Party Favors - Get (bath) BOMBED at home!

Bachelorette Parties are all about getting the girls together,

 to celebrate the bride with some good clean fun, right?

Best friends, lots of giggles, silliness and maybe a few drinks?

It is fitting that the favor would keep the party going after they get home...

Fizzy bath bombs are not only a great gift but

 a necessity to easy those muscles sore from laughter...

So keep the good times rolling...

and get bombed at home!

As we pulled out the menus at a fun girls' dinner the other night,

 we realized the time has come...
