Promo Box Collections

Hdawn, Easy123 and I decided we are going to do a collection of items from all different sellers and put up the boxes of goodies for sale with all profits going to an animal charity in Canada and one in the States.

So far its just us three contributing, we'd love to get anyone who;s interested involved. We are keeping it small for the first one. We are doing 12 boxes, price is yet to be determined, it depends on how many join in and what is donated.

I ended up being the one to collect the items, so if you are interested please contact me on Etsy and I will tell you what you need to do.

Anyone can contribute, all you need to do is donate 12 items with a business card attached to each item somehow.

Thanks,
Chroma

Wonderful Person Alert

Accesorizmecrafty is a super wonderful person and deserves to be in the spotlight. She doesn't sell soap, or anything related, but she does sell some very cute pillow huggies.

I bought some off of her a bit ago. I got chilli pepper ones.

I wanted to take a moment to thank Accesorizmecrafty for her friendship and generosity. I recently entered my baby girl Missy ( dog), in a contest for the SPCA where pay to vote and the money goes to helping other animals in need. http://photocontest.humanesociety.org/contest.html?page=viewInd&id=33571&contestId=1

My baby girl had no votes, then accesorizmecrafty asked for the link and to my surprise she not only voted she donated a very generous amount towards the cause too!

She is such a nice lady, I remember the first night I met her online. We were practically alone in a room and we started chatting and she bought a collage sheet off of me so i could buy something for my grandfather. I was so grateful for the thought I returned the favor later and and bought some pillow huggies as a gift.

They were sewn with care and looked wonderful.

She is a super nice lady, who takes the time to chat with you and shes always in cheery mood.

I am fortunate to have her as a friend.

Please, could everyone take a moment to look at her shop.

New Features Soap Artist and Give away Feb 17 to March 17

OK, so this time I got the new features artist up on time but I didn't blog her or the new give away. So I'm late again :P I've been a busy girl.

A few posts ago I blogged about Suebeebuzz and her amazing Balm of Gilead, and what it did for my itchy elbows. After that i decided she was going to be my next featured seller. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=110805

I seriously think everyone should order at least a sample of her balm of Gilead to try out and her lip balm too because its truly wonderful.

I love the smell of the lip balm she sent to me to try out it was a tea, mint orange scent blend, and every time i use it i want to eat it.

I love her Balm of Gilead so much I started using it as a moisturizer too. Suebeebuzz said that people also used it for that purpose too, and me being the skin nerd that I am, had to try it out that way too. I love how soft and comfortable my skin is afterward, and a little goes along way too.

She gave me samples of some of her other products when I purchased the 2 full sized containers of Balm of Gilead, one of them being Tamanu Scar/ Burn/ Infection Salve, which I used on my leg when I ripped the top layer of skin off and it was not healing properly. ( it was a bit itchy and I kept scratching it and ripping it open again.) The sore area healed up pretty quick after the application and the area was not sore or itchy anymore, which was a serious relief.

I have sensitive skin, so new products are a bit of a concern for me when I decide to try them out. With Suebeebuzz's salves I do not have to worry about this because they are all natural and gentle to the skin which is truly wonderful for a person with fussy skin.

Now for the good stuff!

I want to share her salves with a lucky winner, so my next give away will be for 1 full sized container of one of Suebeebuzz's salves. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=110805

I am also going to do a second give away for anyone who purchases an item from Suebeebuzz's shop. When you make your purchase please type in Chroma , or convo my name to her after you pay and she will let me know, and for those who make a purchase between now then the draw date will have an opportunity to win a Salve as well. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=110805

Thanks for stopping by, please pass the word about my blog.

Peppermint Frost Lip Balm

Well I finally ran out of the lip balm I was using by mybirch. I really liked it and I think that it is worth buying in the future. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=17830459


Now I am using one by Skin Essentials Called Peppermint Frost. This one had Shea Butter in it and comes with a SPF 15. I like how it feels. It goes on smooth and makes my lips feel very soft, smooth and comfortable. There is a light cool minty feeling to it as well that I really enjoy.

Skin Essentials make their lip balms with high quality Shea butter, avocado oil, and beeswax.

The balm lasts a very long time, and I find I only need to apply it a few times a day. I don't really like it when I have to reapply many times in one hour, with the store brands I always feel like my lips are dry again 20 minutes later. So I find this benefit a definite plus.

Skin Essentials offers a variety of flavor including:

Vanilla
Peppermint Frost
Latte Cream
Natural
Coconut Lemongrass
Cucumber Melon
Lime
Lime - vegan (specify vegan)

If you don't see something that tempts you, just ask Carol and if she is able to offer the flavor she will happily accommodate your request.

The essential oil (Neo Heliopan) is what gives this lip balm a SPF 15 according to the supplier of the essential oil. Most other products I've tried that contained SPF felt mucky to me, this one felt very "clean" and I couldn't tell that there was a SPF in there at all which is wonderful. Nothing like wearing a wax pack on your mouth, right? This lip balm did not feel waxy at all!

If your courious about this product, here is a link to listing. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=18880174

Don't for get to tell Carol I sent you please.

Thanks for stopping by!

Pass The Word

Please share my blog with all your friends and family, when I have 200 followers I will be holding a HUGE give away. Thats all im telling right now though. If you want to know what its going to be your going to have to help me get my 200 followers to find out :P

Balm of Gilead

Never in my life have I tried something so effective for eczema. I have it on my elbow. I started having problems with it when I started working in a bar. I no longer work in a bar, but I still have the eczema.

Never having skin issues such as this before, I was pretty upset when this started showing up. I tried everything under the sun to assist with the quick removal of the offending itch. I have a background in skin care so I should have been able to deal with it quickly.

Nope, the nasty offending sight would not cooperate!

I was brousing the shops in chat one night on Etsy and found a small sections of salves which looked instresting. I asked a few questions, thought what the heck and orders a few samples.

When I got the Balm of Gilead in I smeared it on my elbow right away and the itch stopped. I was happy to just not have that annoying itch on my then ripped apart elbow. Don't tell Carol, I promised I wouldn't scratch anymore!

The next morning I woke up and the eczema on my elbow was almost gone, just a few little bumps and that was about it. Application number 2 took care of the rest!

My elbow is now free from my annoying itchy ugly pest!

I have never been more impressed with a product before in my life. This stuff is wonderful and a definate must have staple for my bathroom. I had to order the full sized product right away.

I just had share this product with everyone. You must try it out.

Its good for other problems too, at the very least, check out the listing and ask Suebeebuzz some questions. She's super nice and easy to talk too.

Here's the link. If you buy it post your thoughts, I would love to hear some feedback from other people. Balm of Gilead http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=16186050
