Lend me an ear

I have just found my own little personal heaven on earth: the indeed sweet people at Sweet Thunder have created an Earring of the Month club.
Little did I know that such a special treat existed!

Basically, you can give (or receive) a pair of exclusive hand-made, vintage inspired earrings every month, for a whole year.

You get to choose Sterling Silver or Gold fill. You can also include any color preferences (colors you'd like to include or omit) or preferred earring length (long, short, or mixture).
Oh, did I mention these little treasures don't cost a fortune AND they ship free?

we like it because: there is no such thing as too many earrings.

Review: Emerge Skincare

On our quest to find the best sun care for the summer, we have encountered Emerge Skin Care products and immediately fell in love with them.
There must be a reason if they are used and recommended by some of the best SPAs around the country (Metamorphosis Day Spa, NY, just to name one) and now we know why.
Emerge Skin Care is a professional brand founded by a group of dermatologists and chemists, that uses science and knowledge to get results. It's a complete line that addresses all skin types, all skin needs - bodycare and men's skincare included.

What we like the most?
We love that all of Emerge Skin Care ingredients come straight from nature: no synthetic chemicals, ingredients or preservatives have been used in the process.
The result is a unique line of products that takes care of your skin in such a way that you will see results already from the very first application.

Emerge Skincare line includes: Cleansers, Toners, Therapeutic Products, Anti-Aging, Eye Care, Moisturizers, Skin Lighteners, Products for Oily-Combination Skin, Products for Sensitive Skin, Sun Care, Body Products, Exfoliators, Mens Skin Care and more.

An extra bonus: you can order mini free samples from their site, to try their products and choose which is best for you.

One last thing: we did not expect such high-end products to come with low prices like these: take a look for yourself and you will see that Emerge Skincare prices are similar to the ones you find in drugstores. But the quality behind them has no comparison!
