An experiment on Bixbe!

Bixbe is a place that allows to quickly and easily create a 1 page selling website for pretty much anything. You can use it to sell stuff you have lying around the house, to sell services, or to help promote your business.

I'm using Bixbe to help promote my products by offering a package deal. Right now, I have a couple of pleated purse and matching wallet sets listed.

Having them bundled together allows to me to combine shipping and offer $10 off the price of purchasing them separately.

Staycation!

Vacations are a luxury. While it would lovely to just get away for a few days and just relax, it just isn't the cards this year. With that said, there's no reason that staying home can't feel relaxing and luxurious. Here are a few great Etsy finds to help make that happen.

Things I love....

I've been stressed lately. I'm in the process of changing hospitals, getting all new doctors, starting physical therapy, and about a million other things. Not to mention we were in a little fender bender last week. No worries though, everyone was okay, and our car has been fixed (yippie!!). To be honest, I've also been feeling a bit "blah" about things lately. With everything that's been going on, it seems like I'm just the sick girl. Everything has been so centered around taking care of my health stuff that it seems like the rest of me has taken a backseat. Today I wanted to share a few of the things that I'm dreaming about someday owning to help me feel more like a person and less like a sick person....

First up is the Professional Mini Binder from PinsnPaperOnline. I could use this for some many things, like day planner pages to keep track of all of my appointments. I'd also be able to dedicate a page to list all of my doctors information, and my medications and dosages, just in case I'm ever in a situation where I can't speak for myself. Plus, it's just really pretty, and I like pretty things....

Next is this gorgeous Anklet in Pink Pearl and Sterling Silver by SueRunyonDesigns. It's just gorgeous!

Next up are these wonderful Bath Teas from Baghdadbum. It's no secret that I love, love, love to soak in the tub, and these teas are perfect for doing just that.

And what is better than getting out of the tub and putting on some nourishing and yummy smelling lotion? Not much! Well, my favorite candle maker, LilacAve, has started a line of bath and body products (YIPPIE) that are fantastic! I got to test some of the soaps and the lotion (I'm so lucky) and since then I've been wanted a big bottle all for myself! This Lilac And Vanilla Scented Lotion would be perfect!

It's really about the little things that make you feel special....

Who's that girl?

It's me!!

A few months ago, I was asked if I was willing to complete an e-mail interview for the Behind the Seams feature on UsTrendy. Of course, I jumped at the opportunity, and then my interview never got posted. I figured they might just be backlogged or didn't like my answers or whatever, and I let it roll of my skin. Well, over the weekend, I updated my shop and portfolios on their site in preparation for the ad that they were running this week on PerezHilton. I figured it wouldn't hurt to be prepared just in case some of that extra traffic came my way. Well, imagine my surprise when I got an e-mail yesterday afternoon letting me know that they were about to post my feature!!! Yippie!! You can find the interview here, and feel free to check out my shop while you're there
