One of my favorite shoe styles on casual days is a pair of flip flops. They  are easy to slip on and off and seem to match almost any casual outfit. Another way I use flip flops is as a comfort shoe. If I have been wearing high heels all day or doing a lot of walking or standing, a pair of flip flops is an easy, nonrestrictive shoe to wear and let my feet take a breather. So, when I was introduced to this hot new flopZ brand, I was thrilled!

flopZ is a new collection of upscale, luminescent flip flops. Although they look chic and cool on the outside, there is something that makes them special on the inside. There is an unique gel insole which treats feet to a soothing massage while walking. Love that!

I tried flopZ flip flops after a long day on my feet and they were amazing. The flip flops made my feet feel so good and it instantly relaxed me as I walked around. I am also in love with the colors. They are vibrant and downright happy! Definitely a fun way to relax my feet after a long day. Of course, a girl can never have just one pair of flip flops, so I have my eye on a couple more colors from the collection. They will also make great holiday gifts for my loved ones this Christmas season!

Each pair of flopZ comes with its’ own shoe bag; making them easy to pack into a tote bag or suitcase. Love that! To shop the flopZ collection, please visit flopz.com.

Rituals is one of my favorite bath and body brands. So, when they contacted me about reviewing their Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin Yuzu, light bed and body perfume, I was thrilled! After all, what in the world is “light bed and body perfume?”

I love fragrance, in the form of perfume. I also love home fragrance, but all in one? I was not really sure what to expect. I was thrilled when I found Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin Yuzu light bed and body perfume worked as a beautiful, light citrus body fragrance and also worked well as an air freshener for the bed. Love that!

Since Rituals Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin Yuzu light bed and body perfume is safe on textiles, hence the designation “bed perfume,” It is OK to spray on after getting dressed; or even when wearing crisp, white clothing! Ritual Happy Mist in Organic Mandarin Yuzu light bed and body perfume is made to be sprayed on both the body and fabric. This means that is will not stain textiles (fabric) and does not contain alcohol. This added benefit makes it ideal for sensitive skin. Love that!

The Mandarin Yuzu scent is fresh and pretty. I am looking forward to trying more products by Rituals in this fragrance group. I am also looking forward to trying more light bed and body perfume from Rituals!

Agraria Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal review

If you have been following along lately, you may already know I am a huge fan of Agraria home fragrance. I have Agraria AirEssence Diffuser’s in my home already, so I really wanted to try one of Agraria’s candles in order to experience more of Agraria’s home fragrance products. I love burning scented candles in the cool, late-fall, and winter weather. There is something warm and comforting about a candle in cold weather. Since one of my favorite fragrances to wear is orange, I thought it would be amazing to scent my home with an orange laced candle.

I was thrilled when I received my Bitter Orange scented candle from Agraria. Not only did the candle smell amazing, it was housed in a beautiful woven crystal jar. I love the idea of a formal candle and I decided to display it in my formal living room with a crystal turtle, and next to one of my kids baby pictures. Not only did the candle look amazing on my end table, it filled the room with a fabulous, bitter orange scent. Love that! 

Although I tend to wear citrus scents in the warm, summer months, there was something warm and inviting about the Bitter Orange scent from the Agraria candle which fit perfectly into the cool weather. 

This beautiful candle is housed in woven crystal with a silver-plated cap. The cap features Agraria’s crest stamped onto the top. Agraria’s Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal not only looks amazing in my home, it smells amazing too. I cannot wait to fill my home with more candles from Agraria! I also plan to pick up a few to give out as Christmas gifts this year. Perfection!

Agraria’s Bitter Orange candle in woven crystal can be found online here and here.
