Tooth Chips

So, the Rose of Sharon Acres Tooth Chips sounded really intriguing to me. They were getting great reviews and wanting to go all natural I had to give them a try. At first, the $9, 2oz container seems like a lot of money, but when you break it down, it comes out to a mere $2.25 a month and lasts 4 months, brushing 2x a day. The shipping as fast and Monica was really good with all my questions.

As soon as I got my Tooth Chips in the mail, of course I had to try them - and I did. To be honest, at first I couldn't stand the taste of them but immediately felt a difference in the way my teeth felt. They felt super clean, as if I had just gotten a cleaning at the dentists. I thought to myself, I paid this much for the tooth chips, I might as well use them. It has been a little over a month using them and I can honestly say that I got used to the taste and that my teeth always feel cleaner than if I was using regular tooth paste. I even noticed a difference in morning breath...there was no yucky feeling in my mouth anymore!

When I went home for Christmas I had my parents try the Tooth Chips as well. My little sister, who is 6 wanted to try them and she happened to like them. My dad loved them, but my mom had the same reaction as me. The only reason my parents didn't continue using them is because they use an electric toothbrush and they said they would prefer a paste version of the tooth chips.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the Tooth Chips and will continue using them! I am very curious to see what my next dentist appointment will bring!

Glass Art by SarahsSky

I have been lusting over many pieces by SarahsSky, but I never thought I would get anything because of the insane shipping costs to Europe, especially for heavy things like glass. After months of lusting, and after a few sales of my own I decided to take the plunge and buy not only one thing, but three from SarahsSky.

The first piece that got me started was her beautiful tea light candle holders. She has made mosaic ones, and more simple ones like the one I got - The Light Pink Stained Glass Mosaic Candle Holder. As soon as I opened up the extremely well packaged box I had to put a tea light in and light it. The glow from the candle holder is just beautiful!


The second thing that caught my eye was the beautiful Green Stained Glass Mosaic Leaf. It is much larger than in the picture - I keep it on my desk but if I had a coffee table I would proudly display it there! It is a great size to keep small things in it like jewelry, bobby pins, or anything else you have scattered around and want to put in one place. It would also be nice to keep empty as just a main focal piece.


Finally, as if the candle holder and leaf weren't enough Sarah just happened to list the perfect necklace! It is small, detailed and makes a statement even with its' small stature - just the way I love my jewelry! So of course I had to add the necklace on to my list, but the only problem I had was deciding whether to get the magenta or mint tile. I decided to go with the magenta, I think because it looked really good on Sarah's sister :)


I really recommend buying something for yourself, or as a gift for someone else from SarahsSky. She has great customer service, wonderful communication, and my things were extremely well packed and made the transcontinental trip from the US to Europe without a hitch. She has a passion for what she does and you can really tell though her work!

Purchase - Pendants

About a month ago I made two purchases from two different sellers for similar items. I purchased two dictonary pendants from Arete (love & hope) and one map pendant from Objects of Affection (Krakow).
Love and Hope are my two favorite words of inspiration and Kraków is my favorite city in Europe; I spent a year living there from 2006-2007. These pendants are just the right size that I can wear all three together and not have it be too bulky. They are just perfect and came out wonderfully!

Tickled Pink Knits

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am always cold. I am the girl that wears two pairs of pants and three sweaters to keep warm! Because of this little problem I bought two pairs of wonderfully soft fingerless gloves from Tickled Pink Knits.


I had two custom pairs done, one in chocolate brown and the other in charcoal gray. I love both pairs and wear them every day!

Jewelry!

I have to say that there are two stores on Etsy that I adore their jewelry. One of these shops is Sorry I'm Late - Jewelry for those who like to make an entrance

She has the cutest and sweetest jewelry on Etsy. She is all the way in Australia but the shipping is super fast and totally worth it to get a little piece of heaven you can wear every day. I have already made multiple purchases from Oli, the latest were these beautiful items:

Petalina Necklace

Sweet Vintage Sterling Silver Necklace

Your Love Has Tied Me In A Knot Earrings

She really has a unique mix of jewelry that is fun, flirty and good day or night. Not only is her stuff adorable, but she is a wonderful person all around and does her best to make sure that you are completely happy with your purchase!
