Custom Coasters

2010-06-02T15:52:00.000-04:00

I recently made a trade with Martha from OpenDoorStudio . I received some lovely vintage thermos used for vases:

In exchange for these wonderful thermos, I created Martha some custom coasters. Because she is an artist herself, the coasters were made from pictures of her artwork.

(Photos courtesy of Martha)

Check out Martha's artwork here.

You can also check out Martha's awesome vintage items here.

Lastly, If you're interested in a custom coaster set such as these, please don't hesitate to send me a convo!

Mother's Day!

2010-04-19T22:58:00.000-04:00

Buying for Mother's Day

Chrystal Lynn Simmons

I know what you're thinking. There isn't much cash going around right now to just splurge on mom for Mother's Day this year. But, I want to propose an idea. Just hear me out.

Resist buying the $20 box of See's Candy. Forgo the all purpose (you already got her one for Christmas and her birthday!) spa pedicure. Snub the brunch and mimosas at her favorite eatery. Instead, let your creativity and innovation shine through and team up with someone else in the family.

For instance, recruit your sister and score $40 handmade something from a local designer. Or, grab dad too and invest in a luxurious $60 piece of custom jewelry that she'll know was created just for her.

Now that you've got your accomplice and a generous budget, go to Etsy.com and make that mom of yours proud!

Happy Birthday to Meeeeeee! Stay tuned-- I'll be posting pics of my Art Wall soon!

Spoiled Rotten

2010-02-07T00:57:00.001-05:00

Just wanted to spread the word about this miraculous new soap I purchased from SpoiledRotten ! I have used the product for almost two weeks & can definitely tell in a difference in my skin. Suffering from eczema, this soap has helped by moisturizing my super dry skin, while making my face uber soft & clear-- I GLOW!

Please let me introduce...

Lavender Detox Facial Soap with Charcoal & Clay

I can't keep these bars in stock!

I began handcrafting these bars for my teenage daughter who has acne and eczema. They have worked like a charm.

Lavender is known for its antiseptic and anti-fungal properties which make it a fantastic treatment for acne. Great for psoriasis, eczema, and even wrinkles! Plus, it smells fabulous.

I use only Premium Quality Charcoal that is 100% Steam Activated Hardwood. Absolutely NO chemicals are used in the activation process.

This charcoal is known for eliminating toxins and poisons and heals wounds. It adsorbs chlorine, lead, and mercury. It can even adsorb secretions and toxins from spider bites.

This charcoal has a stronger adsorption property than others and contains little or no ash.

I also use a natural clay to draw out impurities without removing natural oils. It also exfoliates, cleanses and stimulates circulation. It, too, detoxes and tightens pores and is suitable for all skin types. Helps control shine and restores the skin’s natural balance.

I include vegetable glycerin for its moisturizing properties and treatment of yeast and fungal infections including psoriasis and eczema.

--SpoiledRotten

Congrats!!!

Emcee Artwork & Frames

2010-01-17T12:43:00.000-05:00

I purchased a pack of these Emcee Postcards around Christmas time, not knowing exactly what I wanted to do with them. I ended up buying some frames & custom painting them-- then framed these lovely postcards. Everyone in my family received one for Xmas & absolutely adored them.

And of course I fell in love with them as well, so I had to order a pack for myself. I just completed the frames & hung them on the wall. Check out Emcee's lovely artwork on my WALL =]

So thrilled to have been featured on Nancy's [Affordable Indulgence] Blog!

Affordable Indulgence

I make my own bath and body products and love to share them with the world. I take it back to the basics when it comes to my products--no harsh ingredients, no fuss. I also believe that spa treatment shouldn't be something we have to save up for. It should be affordable and at your fingertips whenever you desire it.
