Library of Flowers Honeycomb Bath Oil



I love getting new bath products! Especially ones with gorgeous packaging like the ones from Margot Elena. This bath oil can be used both as a shower gel and bath oil. I have enough shower gel and fancy bar soaps to last me ages, so I used this a bath oil. I poured a generous amount maybe 1/3 of the bottle to get a generous luxurious lather. The bath oil is enriched with cocoa butter and bee balm to leave the skin soft and nourished. The pleasant scent had an aroma of sugared figs, ambrosia honey, and royal bee blossom. The bath oil is a little pricey at $28 a bottle but, if you use it carefully (unlike myself who has a hard time stopping), it may last you longer than it did me.

C.Booth Honey Almond Body Butter






Even though the winter season is "over". I still find myself stuck with dry and itchy skin. I leave this by my sink to hydrate my skin whenever it needs a pick me up. It leaves my skin smooth and hydrated. The thick cream though is a bit greasy so, I tend to use a small amount. The body butter is enriched with honey and almond that leaves a sweet delicate scent on the skin.

Library of Flowers Luminary Honeycomb




I love lighting a candle during the weekend and reading a nice book. I love the packaging from Margot Elena's products. The candle has a delicate scent and  doesn't last very long. I could barely smell the candle when I got up from my chair and walked a few steps away. Definitely not my favorite candle but, I am still open to trying other scents from the brand.

Book Review - Mermaid Moon by Susann Cokal


Photo Credit - Amazon

Sanna is a mermaid but, she is half landish. When Sanna was born, an old sea witch cast a forgetting spell that made Sanna, her mother, her father, and her people forget the details of her birth including her mother. When Sanna turns sixteen years old, she decides to find her mother as she feels like an outsider in her seavish flok. Determined to find her roots and identity, she apprentices herself to the sea witch who cast the spell on her and her family.

After learning the magic to make a pair of legs for herself, she decides to follow the clues to the location of her mother. Before she leaves, the sea witch gives her a cryptic quest to complete. As Sanna begins her journey, her flok wait for her news on her journey. While on land, Sanna comes across a village who is desperate for a miracle and a baroness who will stop at nothing to live forever.

I was quite torn with this review. I thought the novel was beautifully written but, then at times, it was just too much. I was more than 85% done with the book before I couldn't be bothered anymore. The story progressed so slowly that the story didn't even progress in 50 pages. It was mostly 50 pages of atmosphere building or Sanna debating what to do or the sea life that lives on the old witch's body. I wasn't a fan of the different points of view because I felt like it added little to the story. I wanted to enjoy this book more because I love a good tale. I am still looking forward to other books by the author.

Biobelle #Unicorn Glow Facial Sheet Mask






Ah, I love facial sheet masks! However, I usually get the $1-4 ones and on special occasions, I splurge and get the more expensive ones. Boy, am I excited I took the chance and splurged with this facial mask! The Tencel sheet mask is enriched with honey, mulberry, and chocolate. The ingredients read like a smoothie ingredient list and my skin loved this mask. It left my skin so soft, moisturized and radiant. I got so many compliments the next day after using this mask before going to bed. Definitely one of my favorite masks over the ones I normally use. After getting such great results with this mask, I am going to try other masks from this company as I can't rave enough about this mask.

The Cottage Greenhouse Relaxing Bath Soak Cucumber and Honey




The enriched Epsom salt has scents of cucumber and honey to provide users with a relaxing spa experience. I used the bath soak around two times before I accidentally dropped the entire bottle on the floor and causing all the salts to go everywhere. I wish the bottle was a bit easier to hold but, the two uses I did get out of the soak was very relaxing and left my skin softly scented. I did find the bottle to very cute and reused it to hold odds and ends.

Book Review - Honey by David Ezra Stein

Photo Source - Amazon

Bear has waken up from his winter nap and only has one thing on his mind -- honey! Sadly, it is too early for Bear to indulge in the delicious treat. Bear tries to preoccupy himself with other things he loves to do, but once hear hears that buzzing sound, Bear knows it is time for a delicious feast.

I read this cute children's book with tots I volunteer with. They were beside themselves when I told them I had a new book for them to read together. They love the colorful drawings with a playful looking bear. My only qualm was there was two words that might be a bit over the reading level of the targeted demographic. Other than that, it was a lovely book and cute book.

Urban Dollkiss Honey Moist Kate Cherishable Mask







Ah, my love and hate relationship with Memebox. Their prices are very affordable but when they have their Memebox boxes, it’s hard to find any product information. I have tried Urban Dollkiss’s products before and wasn’t crazy over them. This mask is enriched with honey extracts to leave skin feeling smooth and soft. The mask fit decently well and the serum was very drippy. My face felt smooth and soft but the results felt a bit underwhelming.
