Sobakawa Love

Ever since my hysterectomy and subsequent rapid decent into menopause-hood, my pillows were a bane of existence. Never keeping cool enough for my hot flashy self, feeling like lumps of rock like foam or paper thin piles of feathers, I despaired of ever finding a GOOD pillow again.

Then I took a chance and ordered a sobakawa pillow from Target.com. It was like I had been reborn! No more "hot pillow flashes" No more flipping and flopping trying to get the pillow to be comfortable again. The "aaaah" was back in my sleep.

Sure, there's a "learning curve" with the rattle of the buckwheat hulls but it quickly fades (I didn't hear it after the first night.) and all you have is happy comfort, support and a super refreshed feeling.

I adore my pillow. I think I need a few more of them. *G*

Sinful Scentsations

I thought I might take the time this week, to list my favorite Indie Perfumers. In no particular order...

Blooddrop
Mythos Mixtures
Pixie Potions
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (BPAL)
Happy Housewife Soap and Sundries
Villainess Soaps
Possets
Scent Addict (scent addict is actually comprised of several different indie perfumers in one convenient spot. Sometimes different companies will offer exclusives just for Scent Addict customers.)


These are some of my favorite places on the web. I've ordered from each and every one of these companies and have had wonderful customer service, awesome perfumes and great communication! You can't go wrong with any of these places.

Sinful Scentsations

Today's Sinful Scentsation is another by Mythos Mixtures.

Fir Tree is a Limited Edition scent for the Christmas season. Evoking the smells of Christmas trees, deep fir trees, candied apples and carnations tucked between the branches, Fir Tree is a wonderful testament to this season. M loves this scent so much that he instructed me to "go and get another bottle of this mkay?" So I did. *G*

It really is a nice scent. I thought that it might be too "candle scented" to be a good perfume but it's not at all like a candle. Very nice scent for the holidays. Go get it before it goes away!

Dear America...

Say goodbye to your Constitutional rights. The Supreme Court, the supposed defender of the Constitution, refused to hear the case regarding the eligibility of Obama to be President of the United States.

Now, I'm not saying that Obama is lying...really, I'm not. BUT I do find it rather suspicious that he won't show his birth certificate. And I think that the SCotUS needs to say, "look, put up or shut up here. Show the certificate and let's finally put this to rest."

But they won't. And I don't understand just why Obama refuses to say "look people, here it is. Deal with it, you're stuck with me for at least 4 years." I could accept that. But this pussyfooting around and the refusal to show just makes me think that there's strange things afoot at the Circle K.

Come on, Obama. Put up or shut up!

Sinful Scentsations

Today's Sinful Scentsation is Blooddrop's Cutie Patootie.

With "Watermelon, pineapple, pear, lemon and sweet orange all mooshed together to make an ultimate sweet candy scent!" Cutie Patootie is tooth achingly sweet. A perfect scent for anyone who likes to smell sweetly innocent with a hint of "Lolita". Heady with great throw, get this scent for the Teen in your life. She'll love ya for it!

Sinful Scentsasions- a weekly Webness

So, DogMom and The Captain both have a "weekly webness" thing going on on their blogs and have been poking at me to start up one of my own. So here's my weekly webness...Sinful Scentsations.


Today's Sinful Scentsation is Mythos Mixture's Golden Rose. Lush greens and heady yellow rose make up the perfume. It's like sticking your head into a florist's 'fridge and taking a big wiff. You can find this scent on their site under "Mythological Items".

Highly recommended for people who like floral scents, Golden Rose would be a great gift in lieu of that dozen roses for Valentine's Day. It'll last longer!
