Product Review: Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio

I received the following product in exchange for writing a review. While I consider it a privilege to receive free products to review, my review is my honest opinion and thoughts of the product.

The product that I received was:

Honeysuckle Shea Butter Soap: I like this soap as it had a really nice scent and I liked at how smooth it made my skin. It is $4.99 for a 4 oz. bar.

Mandarin Vanilla Shea Butter Soap: I think that this is my favorite scent out of all the soap. It smells so nice. It too makes my skin so soft. It is $4.99 for a 4 0z. bar.

Grapefruit Geranium Shea Butter Soap: This may say geranium but it is a more masculine scent I think that might be because of the grapefruit though! It was the most “sudsy” out of all the soaps that I received and it makes a really nice lather 🙂 It is a nice smell just not as feminine as some of their other scents. It is $4.99 for a 4 oz. bar.

Honeysuckle After Shower Moisture Spritz: This moisturizer was very nice and it is a nice way to get your tan to glow 🙂 It smells very flowery as well and is a pleasant way to get your lotion in if you don’t have any on hand and if you are traveling and forgot your lotion. It is $9.50 for a 8 oz. bottle.

Truest Rose Butter Creme: This lotion smell SO good it is hard to believe that it is all natural! The super rich Butter Creme’ Hand and Body Lotion it is made from Organic Macadamia Nut Oil, Shea Butter, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil. The lotion smells like fresh roses and made my skin so very, very soft. You don’t need to use alot to get soft hands though. I defiantly recommend this lotion. It is priced at $12.99 for a 8 oz. bottle.

Every product comes in 8 scents:
Tuscan Lavender
Truest Rose
Mandarin Vanilla
Winter Yuzu
Woodspice
Honeysuckle
Peaceful Patchouli
Grapefruit Geranium

I thought Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio had VERY nice packaging. It is a little hard to open though if you are like me and don’t like to “wreck” the packaging 🙂 The packaging is done in pretty paper with their logo than tied with ribbon. It is a nice touch to Blue Ridge Gypsy Studio’s superior soap! Also all of their Shea butter soaps are made the old-fashioned way and add lots of super moisturizing Shea butter to ensure your skin will be soft and smooth. And, they are organic which is a plus! 🙂

I encourage you to check out http://blueridgegypsy.com/! Also if you cannot use fragrances than they have another company with the same products just not the sweet fragrances. Here it is: Skin Free

Enjoy your day!

The Children’s Place – Review of New Spring Outfits

Posted by html404 on February 23, 2010
in Children's Clothing

Thanks to The Children’s Place for surprising me with their generosity…they sent me three beautiful dressy outfits for three of my children for me to review! The PR rep really caught me by surprise when I opened the box to discover what she sent. My children were very excited and pleased.

I am excited to show you a little video of my little girl twirling in her new dress. Not only is her new dress pink – her favorite color, but it fans out when she spins! The pleasures of being a little girl! She was the most excited of the three children, I must say. Therefore, I just have to share the video first, then the rest…

P.S. Excuse my boxes, as we have been boxing up stuff to give away and pack away! (Blush!)

For our daughter, we received a pink, green and white sun dress called Stylin’ Sunshine Girl – Pleated Dress. It retails for $29.50.

These items washed up really well with minimal shrinkage, but to be on the safe side in the second washing of my daughter’s dress, I hung it dry or at least tumble dried it. The green of the dress will run, as we had that happen when my daughter got chocolate on the front of the dress and we had to soak it. So just be careful not to soak it long.

February 2010 032

The boys received linen dress shirts with a matching knit vest. The first is the Classic ‘n Cool for our youngest son – Argyle Sweater Vest and lavender/purple Linen Shirt. The vest retails for $19.50 and the shirt $16.50.

February 2010 031

Our older son was given the Prepped ‘n Perfect – Argyle Sweater Vest and yellow Linen Shirt. Both retail for the same amount as the smaller size, $19.50 for the vest and $16.50 for the shirt. My older son did find the linen shirt a bit itchy, but was fine with a t-shirt beneath it.

Overall we love these new spring dress clothes!
