Mini Monday 12.17.12

This weekend has been so hectic! I've been working like crazy and trying to relax now that the semester is over. I almost forgot to create this post, I've been so busy! This week I want to share a little bit about these balms with you:

Symbolic Imports' Coconut

This coconut balm smells SO good. It smells a bit more like toasted coconut to me than regular coconut, but it's super warm and tropical and just wonderful!

Buffalo Gal Organics' Pear & Coconut

This balm smells exactly like warm coconut combined with crisp pears! The coconut is much stronger than the pear, but I kind of like that because pear scents in balms usually overwhelm me. 

Orange Thyme's Watermelon Juice

This balm smells AMAZING. I know it was part of a kid-friendly pack and I can see why. This reminds me of watermelon Jolly Ranchers. It smells so delicious. If you like watermelon anything (real and artificial) I think you'll like this balm!

Stay tuned for next week's Mini Monday!

Have a great Monday!

Balms of the Week 12.16.12

As of today, I am finally done with my undergraduate degree! I am a college graduate! I did it in 3.5 years! Ahhhh! So exciting! Sorry this is probably the coolest thing that has happened to me since, well, I started this blog (almost 1 year ago, by the way!). Through this last hectic week before I step into the real world, the balms I've kept by my side were:

Country Blossom's Pumpkin Cheesecake

This is such a great balm, probably my favorite balm of the month so far!

Lush's Chocolate Whipstick

This balm lasts FOREVER and smells so decadent!

Little Batch's Winter Frost

Still my absolute favorite balm!

ForGoodnessGrape's Cream Soda

Seriously, the best balm ever. Do yourself a favor and try this balm!

What balms have you been lovin' this week?

Happy Sunday!

Balms I've Got My Eye On 12.14.12

This week has been yet another hectic busy week for me (it wasn't hectic like there was chaos, I just had a ton to do!). I returned from San Francisco late Tuesday night and had to go nanny very early the next morning, then had to study for my final, then worked most of the day yesterday, then had to study study and study some more for my final later today. Then right after my final I have to go nanny and tomorrow night I go babysit and Sunday I will have a day of rest! I'm very much looking forward to that! Here are the balms that have been distracting me from studying:

Ripe Shop's Coco Pina

(via)

I've actually been eyeing a bunch of Ripe Shop's lip balms, this is a fairly new shop and Adriana's balms are really wonderful! 

Etiquettes' Mango Peach

(via)

This was the first ever shop I found on Etsy last winter, but I had never purchased from there because I was still so new to Etsy. After I finally started trying balms on Etsy, the shop closed for a loooonggggg while. It just re-opened recently and I'm eyeing all of their balms! I love how dainty the balms look.

Lip Love's Holiday Cheer

(via)

The flavor combination of this balm (coconut, vanilla, and peppermint) just sounds heavenly! 

What balms have you been eyeing this week? 

Happy Friday!
