French Macarons

This is a pic of some I found on a cute Baker's blog called

Sara Bakes

TOO CUTE!!

What is a French Macaron?

An edible French Macaron is a sweet confectionery made with egg whites, icing sugar, granulated sugar, almond powder or ground almond, and food coloring. The macaroon is commonly filled with buttercream or jam filling sandwiched between two cookies.

Here are a few of my own!

 ♥ Strawberry Shortcake ♥

♥ Caramel Coffee ♥

♥ Snickerdoodle ♥

These are NOT edible! =) These cuties are made using 100% soy wax using as 

much fragrance oil the wax will allow.

Here are some French Macaron SOAPS I found on Etsy
Made by: KcSoapsNmore
LOVE IT!

These are by far my favorite thing to make! They are just so darn cute and look sooo real.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I do =)

 Whipped to Perfection Sugar Scrub (16oz) - LOVE ME scented

 by BathTalk

♥

Sweet! I love the pink and white swirls..=)

Feature: Tub Time Treasures!

I was so excited when I saw a package peeking out from the mailbox this morning!

It was my package from Renee Lillie, owner of TubTimeTreasures!

 All I could say is WOW!

The box was jam packed full of sweet & yummy treats for the tub! She is such an incredible soap artist and her scents are AMAZING! All the items are so wonderful it's really hard to pick a fav!

Here is a snapshot of all the goodies that came!

"Summer Melon Spritzer"

Solid Sugar Scrub

This has got to be the best sugar scrub I have EVER used! It left my hands feeling soft, clean and refreshed. I also love how the scrub comes in cubes. Makes it so much easier to use and trust me, ONE goes a long way! They looked so juicy and smelled so good my Hubby almost took a bite!!

"Chocolate Cupcake"

Kip's Kupcake Bath Bomb

I haven't used this yet, but I did open it up to take a good whiff..lol It smells JUST like a yummy Chocolate Cupcake! It arrived in mint condition and I can't wait to try it out! The frosting on top looks so real!

"Pomegranate Cider"

Body Frosting

I used a little this afternoon on my hands after I worked in the garden. hehe, I really can't wait to even take a shower or bath! It also left my hands smooth and soft. The Pomegranate Cider smells divine and
is def on my top scent list now!

"Cucumber Melon" 
Lip Scrub

I have never even used a lip scrub until today. WOW! What a sweet treat for your lips!
I felt like I was at a spa!

"Honey" Lip Gloss
and
"Vanilla Buttercream" Lip Butter

I really enjoyed getting these in my goody box. I love Love LOVE lip gloss and lip butters! The honey smells identical to honey and the vanilla buttercream lip butter smells good enough to eat!

Both are smooth to the lips, not too greasy or sticky.

Her products are absolutely wonderful and I just had to feature her shop!
I asked how She got started and this is what she said:

 Shop: TubTimeTreasures
Owner: Renee Lillie

I started getting interested in soaping when I lost my job last year. I was in an Etsy chat room, when someone posted a cupcake bath bomb. They were SO cute, I IMMEDIATELY searched for a recipe and bought what I needed to make them! Over time I've tweaked my recipe, and have found some soaping blogs online that I follow, and have accumulated other recipes. The Solid Sugar Scrub cubes are some of my favorites to make (and use!)! The lip scrubs, butters and glosses are fun too! There's just so much versatility in bath and body products, and SO many different yummy fragrance combinations, that it's easy to stay excited with what you're making!!

I was featured in The Storque by Etsy!!

WOW!! I don't think I have ever been featured by Etsy! I was jumping for joy when someone shot me a convo letting me know! I know it's a small feature, but I'm too excited anyway!

Those are my Yummy Pink Sugar Cupcake Wax Tarts on the left!

Oh, Baby

Ok, so I have already posted about this wonderful Etsy seller before, but I just HAD to post about her again after receiving yet another wonderful sheet of labels I had purchased! I contacted Autumn Leah over at Autumn Leah Designs a few weeks ago on creating a custom sheet of baby shower theme labels to use on custom baby food jar candles I was making for my BFF to use on the tables for decor at her baby shower. They were such a HUGE hit! Everyone just adored the little candles! YAY!! I also made other candles for the shower to give away for the game prizes. Autumn Leah is simply the most fantastic Etsy seller I have come across so far! She makes such lovely designs and has top-notch Customer service!! 

Here is one of the baby food jar candles I made using her labels

♥

Too cute!!! You can purchase your own set of custom labels here:

Autumn Leah Designs

Keep in mind she is due any day now, 

but she will open her shop back up as soon as everything returns to normal. =)

Next photo is the custom candles I made for the game prizes

♥

Left to right: "Baby Cakes" Cupcake Candle, "Neapolitan" 16oz Mason Jar Candle,

4 Pack "Black Raspberry Vanilla" Frosted Votive Candles, 

Cinnamon Bun "Bun in the Oven" Loaf Candle

I even used one of the labels on a baby blue tag and used a

safety pin to attach it to the bow on the loaf candle. They were such a big hit! 

And don't worry, I was sure to bring a stack of biz cards with me to set on the table hehe..!

shout out

This shout out post goes out to Autumn Leah over at AutumnLeahDesigns. I ordered a few new personalized labels for some of my candle jars. They turned out soooo adorable! I just had to post about it! 

This is the design I used for one of my candles
