I choose to review the VaVaVroom Logo Ladies Fitted T-Shirt. I totally love it! It doesn't fit to small or tight. I have washed it several times already and it has neither shrunk nor faded. Its very soft, light fitting, a nice scoop style neckline and its one of my favorite casual shirts to wear.

My thoughts:
LunarraStar and has a gorgeous collection of jewelry. Every piece is handmade and is truly unique. They have an amazing array of necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings and cuff links. LunarraStar was gracious enough to let me review my choice of necklace. It was a very hard decision to make since she has many adorable pieces. I finally settled on the Fairy Kisses - The Reward - fairy kiss collage Victorian necklace.

I absolutely love it! I receive so many complements on it every time i wear it. The middle pendent is glass with a strong metal backing. I love the little ruby crystal "kiss" and the tiny metal heart completes this necklace.

Review: Essance Natural Aromatherapy Kit

About them:
"Essance LLC was found on the concept of balance through application of natural aromatherapy. The art of blending our "Essences" lies in balancing the top, middle, and base notes of all essential oils. Inspired by this philosophy, we have recognized the need to maintain a healthy balance for our mind, emotion, and body. The constant changes in the environment and in our lives had transpired our philosophy into product development. This is especially true for many of us who are perpetually juggling between families, careers, relationships, social and economic pressures, etc. Our goal is to provide you with an experience that will help uplift your spirit when you’re feeling low and unmotivated. When you're feeling "burnt-out" after a long day at work, we hope that our products can also help you relaxed and winded down. We believed that the balance of living is necessary and essential for nurturing the quality of life that we were born to experience. The heart of Essance is to provide you with some "scents" of balance. "

My thoughts:
I love aromatherapy. Scents like lavender and citrus are my favorites especially when I'm trying to relax in a hot bath after a crazy work day. And Essance is the place to shop for it.

I decided to try Essance's Aromatherapy Serenity Kit.
 
1 candle diffuser
1 9X3 comfort pillow
1 room spray bottle (empty)
1 Serenity essential oil blend

First off I'm in love with the silk pillow. Its filled with lavender buds and flax seeds and when heated in the microwave for 30 seconds feels great on your head, neck, eyes or where ever you feel stiff or sore.

The candle diffuser works great. I added a few drops of the essential oil and with in a few minutes the room smelled great.

The essential oil the Serenity kit comes with contains these relaxing herbs:
Lavendula officinalis (lavender), Citrus reticulata (mandarin), Citrus reticulata (tangerine), Cymbopogon martini (palmarosa), Citrus bergamia risso (bergamot), Cananga odorata genuina (ylang ylang), Aniba rosaeodora (rosewood), & Anthemis nobilis (roman chamomile).

Its smell is a hint of soothing lavender and a fresh citrus scent. Perfect combination in my opinion since those are my too favorite oil blends.

Also included in the kit is an empty room spray bottle. All it takes is a few drops of the oil blend, some water and you have a fantastic natural room spray. You can make it as strong as you feel necessary.

I love this kit and would totally recommend it if you are into Aromatherapy.
Essance not only sells these kits but also other natural products like organic skincare, essential oil, oil blends and massage oils.
