My Dearly Loved’s Tigger’s Caffeinated Body Scrub Review

12 / 30 / 16

I suffer from Keratosis Pilaris, which is also known as “chicken skin”….Lovely. I’m not gonna bore you with all details about what it is, but for me, it’s red bumps on my upper arms that there’s no treatment for.

If you’d like to read more about it, this article pretty much tells you everything.

I’ve found things that help improve the appearance of my arms, I know that keeping them really moisturized helps, some fake tans hide the bumps really well, and body scrubs are a must.

For me, body scrubs would reduce the red bumps, temporarily, by about 40%, but that’s always been about it. That was until I tried Tigger’s Caffeinated Body Scrub from My Dearly Loved’s Bath & Body range. I had heard great things about this all natural scrub so I was super happy when the lovely Lyn sent me some to try out and review.

This product has literally changed my life. Read More

Sweet Potion Perfumes Potion No.2 Fragrance Oil Review

9 / 19 / 16

I LOVE perfume, I have quite the collection and it just keeps growing. I’ve never understood how people can just wear one type of perfume, I change mine practically every day. I’m particularly fond of sweet, fruity or foodie smelling scents so when I discovered Sweet Potion Perfumes, it was like all of them were just made for me.

I was completely honored when the lovely Dash offered to send me some products to review.

Each of her perfumes are made with Organic Coconut Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Organic Essential Oils and Fine Fragrance.They are all Vegan, Phthalate-Free, Paraben-Free, Alcohol-Free and Cruelty-Free.

The first perfume I’ll be reviewing is Potion No.2 which combines dreamy notes of fluffy marshmallow, creamy milk chocolate, cherry cordial and a flirty twirl of delicious vanilla bean. YUM!

Sweet Potion Perfumes

Sweet Potion Perfumes was created by the super sweet Dash and currently has a collection of hand-blended perfume oils made using the highest quality, skin-friendly ingredients. Dash created Sweet Potion Perfumes wanting to make girls feel special and to boost their self confidence.

Dash was inspired by her mother who also created perfume oils; over the years she loved watching and going to the craft fairs with her mom, so she decided to create her very own little perfumery. Read More

Behind The Bubbles – Interview with Lyn from Dearly Loved

8 / 14 / 165 / 18 / 17

We’re big supporters of handmade brands and love knowing what goes on behind the scenes, how they all began and what our favourite creators get up to whist making their wonderful products.
So we thought it would be fun to interview the geniuses that make handmade bath & body, skincare and beauty products.

I’d like to introduce the ever so kind and sweet Lyn from Dearly Loved. Lyn makes Disney inspired products and lots of other goodies too.

Tell us a little about yourself and your business – what originally drew you to making bath & body products.

I’m Lyn, the creator of Dearly Loved, which began as a coping mechanism after an amazing trip to Walt Disney World. In order to not dive head first into PDD (Post Disney Depression), I poured myself into starting this little dream of a business. I get to blend my love for Disney with my faith every day, and am having a blast doing it!

My bath and body products were a natural extension of my growing Candles With Character line. What’s more relaxing than lighting a candle and soaking in a tub, right? I was just missing the “tub” component, which started me thinking up ideas for Disney-inspired scrubs, bath salts, and more.
