~BEAUTY PRODUCT TUESDAY: A SPRITZ OF ROSE PETALS, PLEASE!





100% Pure's Organic Rose Hydrosol Facial Mist is all-natural and is made from steam which is produced during the production of rose essential oil.








It has a lovely scent which is reminiscent of fresh roses--it's not too strong, yet it has a presence to it.  But at the same time, it doesn't have a lot of staying power.

It felt nice to spritz this mist on my face over my makeup, though it didn't seem to have much of a moisturizing effect.  It is a refreshing treat, and I think it would would work well as a body spray, especially right after a shower or bath--I didn't try that only because I had already used all of my mist by the time the idea occurred to me.

I love the product packaging--the top of the thick cardboard container slides off easily to reveal the heavy glass bottle nestled snugly inside.  I'm surprised the packaging, if not what's inside, doesn't make this facial mist more expensive than it is ($15).

~SWEETS + FEETS





After sashaying across some lovely footwear by 
Shoe Bakery, I was sure I had to do a blog post about these scrumptious-looking, dessert-themed accessories.  A neat aspect of this company is that custom shoes can be ordered; what a unique addition to, say, a wedding ensemble.  I love the detail, artistry, and whimsicality of these shoes--they bring a super-big smile to my face.  Who knew being shod in sugar could be so fun!  I've posted plenty of photos, so enjoy feasting your eyes on these wearable (but not edible!) works of art...
