Review: Rosarium Blends' Agua de Palo Santo

Rosarium Blends is one of the webs best kept secrets.  Catamara spins a delightful line of essential oil blends, ritual incense and natural perfumery ... and a few other delicious delights as well.  Her work is remarkable!  

 

 Agua de Palo Santo is a celebration of life itself.  If you love to burn holy wood, Palo Santo you will be especially pleased at the care and respect put into creating such a uniquely rich and rewarding perfume.  It is difficult to find a perfume that is equal or even better than the real thing ... Great Job Catamara!

I am a home schooling mommy!  Having the right tools has been my secret for many many years.  Safari Ltd. has been a treasure of find in the education development of my children.  Headquartered in Florida, Safari Ltd is an American manufacturer of educational animal and human replicas.  Their principle market is the United States where they sell mainly to museums, aquariums, zoos, arts and crafts stores, and educational stores. Safari Ltd. has exclusive license agreements with Pittsburg's Carnegie Museum of Natural History to produce one of the largest scale model dinosaur collections in the world and with the Monterey Bay Aquarium in California to produce a collection of scale model sea life replicas.  Born in 1982, Safari Ltd® has been making quality replicas and toys for over thirty years.  They support many global non-profit efforts in the fields of conservation, animal protection and ecologically sound business practices.  Green, sustainable, and thoroughly safety tested, Safari Ltd, is a name you can trust.  All of their products are phthalate-free and lead-free.

When looking at the wonderful selection Safari Ltd. has my creative juices started to flow and I was able to really utilize their replicas into my homeschooling lesson plans.  The website itself has lots of education material and it has become a great reference guide to the natural world. 

Dinosaurs, mythology, pirates, human figures, animals and everything in between - including the fairies, Safari Ltd® has a huge collection and catalog of toys. Lots of educational toys too - posters, science kits, science gear and so much more.  If your child loves chasing bugs, investigating their surrounding and learning about the world this is the perfect place to be Or if you love exploring, like me you will find something here too!  Everyone can easily find something that they resonate with.  Lots of cool toys for the inner child in us all.  Being young at heart is said to be a place you visit on the path that leads to the fountain of youth!  So get out your toys and have some fun!

I was so excited to receive a few selected products from Safari Ltd.®.  Giddy as a school girl with a few more days until the last day of school, I anxiously awaited my package of toys.  I ordered them for me this time around, not the tots. It did not take more than a week after ordering.  I received a Moon poster and several figurines.  The poster is sharp, high quality and better than the photo on the website shows it to be.  The toys are indeed beautiful, light-weight, scent-free and detailed.  I cannot wait to order more products.  They make great gifts!

Review: Rosarium Blends' Dom



Dom Perfume
Dom is sexy ... sexy ... and more sexy!  Lush, deep and penetrating notes that linger and melt into your skin.  Mugwort, myrrh, patchouli and vanilla dance a delightful and magical spell ... joined by black storax, smokey vetiver, lemon and neroli.  A sweet and seductive perfume, sure to allure ... sure to please ... sure to bring out the hidden desires that are within and around. 


Rosarium Blends makes their own ritual incense blends, essential oil blends, and natural perfumes using the finest herbs, woods, resins and essential oils.  All formulations are original recipes and the result of extensive historical research, practical experimentation and magical studies.



Review: Rosarium Blends' Chthonic

Chthonic Perfume
Chthonic may give you and initial sharp bite, but it ages on the skin revealing deeper more seductive notes as time moves forward.  There is something sanguine about it ... as though it initiates an addictive quality of something that to most would be unspeakable.  There is a forbidden energy to it, hidden in the forest, among the evergreens ... within the swamp at times.

It speaks of centuries old, yet tells a tale that is as fresh as life itself. It is real, alive, yet buried.  It is dirty, yet clean with purity.  A perfume with great mystery and great depth and  I adore it ...

Review: Rosarium Blends




I am in love ... madly in love with Rosarium Blends.  The Alchemical Concoctions are beyond delightful taking me to the depths of my soul, invoking indescribable amounts of pleasure and igniting passions with their magic and alchemy.  I am impressed!!!!

If you want the good stuff, go straight to Rosarium Blends.  I cannot get enough of these perfumes ... I want to swim in them!!!  A few of my favorites are The Rosarium, HermAphrodite and Manifestation.  Honestly, I love them all though ...

Book Review: The Motivation Manifesto Brendon Burchard

Brendon Burchard's new book, released by Hay House, The Motivational Manifesto is a breath of fresh air.  

I love the writer's style as well as the actual style the book has, which is hard bound, with gold lettering.

If you need motivation, or just a fresh perspective on life, this book is for you.

I was not financially compensated for this review–I received a copy in exchange for my opinion of it, in accordance with Hay House’s Book Nook blogger program. The author himself is giving away free copies on his website, take a look.
