i suggest

not living without these three things.

1. smith's rosebud salve: i use this stuff in a variety of ways. the no-brainer is as lip balm when my lips are chapped. i also use it on my skin after i tweeze or wax; it's so gentle and soothing. it also works really well on burns, cuticles, and blemishes -- yep, blemishes.

2. lush silky underwear dusting powder: smells like heaven. i pour a little amount into shoes that i wear often without socks and on my skin after i have applied lotion; it helps the sticky feeling that lotion leaves behind. another fun this is that i sprinkle it in the sheets at night before we go to bed. it softens the sheets and your skin as you sleep.

3. tyler candle company paris perfumed candle: now, i am a little bit of a candle snob, and i do NOT like fruity or fake-y scents. my go-to used to be yankee, but i have fallen in love with tyler candle company. this candle (the one lit) makes our entire apartment smell lovely.

because i wanted to share the love, i'm giving away the small paris candle pictured. to enter, please list 3 things you suggest on your blog & link back to me. let me know that you're doing this and i will enter you into the drawing. i will pick a winner next friday night, february twenty-fifth.

most of all, i cannot wait to see what you all suggest and maybe add a few more lovelies into my life.
