{Favorite Products} SweetBaby Cuticle Oil


This is a totally different kind of post for me, but I get so much good product information from blogs that I wanted to give back.  And once in a while you run across something that impresses you so much you really do have to share.

Let me start off by saying this is not a sponsored post.  In fact, the owner of this Etsy shop has no idea I'm doing this.  I will though give a shout out to ChitChatNails blog as her review is what led me to ordering this product.


I don't know if it's getting older, my body chemistry or what my hands come in contact with on a daily basis, but my cuticles dry out horribly.  I've tried a lot of products - and most do work - but for one reason or another I haven't found The One yet.

When I read the review on this cuticle oil it was kind of a light bulb moment.  A roller ball for cuticle oil - why has nobody done this before?  SweetBabybyDonna at Etsy does and it's wonderful!  I use the roller applicator on my cuticles and then rub it in with my fingers.  There is no lingering greasy feel and I love that.

I ordered the Caribbean Coconut because I seriously love all things coconut.  What a wonderful, light fragrance!  It was just enough to be fun and not enough to knock you over.

The cost with shipping was $12 and the applicator is a little bit bigger than the average lip balm container.  I thought it would last me a long time, but I'm finding I love how it feels and have been putting it on several times a day so maybe not.  Either way, I'm sure this will be my new 'go to' cuticle oil.

Hope this helps you to have pretty cuticles!

My First Birchbox


Have you heard about Birchbox?  It's a monthly kit that comes to you filled with all kinds of beauty and lifestyle samples - for only $10 shipped!

I'm definitely a person that gets all excited over grab bags and I always have been.  Yes I know they aren't always all that and a bag of chips, but the thrill of not knowing what you're getting is just so much fun to me.



I finally talked myself in to signing up and just received my first box.  Right off the bat I'm smiling because it's PINK!




Here's the box inside - very understated and classy, not giving even a hint of the goodies that await....





And this is what I got!  (Sorry for the bad lighting, but it was a cloudy day.)

  • Hail Merry .88 oz Gluten-free, Vegan Choco Macaroons
  • Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Skincare samples
  • Juice Beauty .17 oz Stem Cellular Repair CC Cream
  • Ojon 1 oz Rare Blend Deep Conditioner
  • Super Goop! 2 ml Advanced Anti-aging Eye Cream
  • Caudalie 1 oz Divine Oil - a unique formula of exceptional oils (grape, hibiscus, sesame and argan)
Worth the $10 to me?  A resounding yes!  There are several things I will really enjoy trying and if they work I might end up ordering more.  And nothing matches the thrill of a grab bag to me.  :)


Deep Thoughts - Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than her belief that she is beautiful.
