While I have to wait on my computer to scan for viruses, I figured I would get on my other work computer and tell you about these freaking awesome lip balms from Lippy Service we just got in! They smell so mmmmm good!! I have a few favorites but my absolute favorite is the Rootbeer Float! You have to try these - we have:

• Amaretto Cookie Lip Balm
• Butterscotch Pudding Lip Balm
• Cappuccino Lip Balm
• Choco-Mint Cookie Lip Balm
• Goth Girl Lip Balm (licorice)
• Hot Buttered Popcorn Lip Balm
• Root Beer Float Lip Balm

No…not really but it sure looks good. I met La Patisserie Jolie not too long ago when I designed her Etsy banner/avatar and some business cards for her. She had this awesome wedding soap bar that literally looked like chocolate. You can see the design in her etsy banner. So of course since I’m such a desert freak who loves bath & body products, I just knew I needed to feature her awesome designs in our trendy blog!!

La Patisserie Jolie specializes in dessert-themed glycerin based soaps in delicious and unusual fragrances. She make all the soaps herself in small batches to ensure quality control.

Our featured designer is Erin T Fashion Accessories. Erin T Fashion Accessories offers modern and contemporary fashion accessories for the everyday. All jewelry is handcrafted from the Big Island of Hawaii, with Aloha.
