Snow White Diamond Edition Review
I received the Snow White Diamond Edition Combo Pack to review so I popped it in my Blu Ray player and my daughter and I sat down with some chex mix and let me just say ...the quality was amazing. The pack itself is beautifully done with mirrored images and comes with 1 Blu Ray disc and 1 DVD disc which frankly I loved because its so versatile. Trips to grandma's house with the set will be easier because she doesn't own a Blu Ray player, only a DVD player so my daughter can still watch and enjoy her favorite princess (Snow White).
The quality of the Blu Ray disc was crystal clear and I loved the formatting - it was very easy to navigate the menu which was an added bonus. The sound was sharp and a million times better than the Snow White movie I had as a child which made this a whole new experience and I got to enjoy it all over again! So this gets an A+++++++++ in my book and it is a must have (also makes a perfect gift for that little or big girl in your life).

My Breast Friend (nursing pillow)
I have to say this....I wish this had been invented when I had my daughter! The truth is I am not breastfeeding this time but find this pillow to be a lifesaver. It leaves my hands free to tend to the baby and do other things while he rests comfortable on the pillow. It is firm but very soft and comfortable and I LOVE the fabric. My husband even likes to use it(even though try getting him to admit it lol) Definitely a must-have for any new parent!
Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab
There is nothing better than exploring the world of niche perfumes and smelling unique! I have had plenty of time to review my favorites (so far anyway). Also please not im not going by notes stated by the site, instead I am going by what these smell like to my nose :
Bliss - The most realistic chocolate scent EVER. My co-workers thought i brought brownies with me to work! It is a deep cocoa smell but genuine and laced with what I think is a pinch of hazelnut to add that perfect touch. It does last awhile but I went through my bottle in a MONTH! Yes its that drool worthy. Too many times I have smelled fake chocolate fragrances in perfumes and body lotions and this is worlds apart from that.
Obtala - Again AMAZING fragrance! It smells like you just cracked open a coconut, have sipped the milk inside and are waving a nice thick chunk of coconut meat under your nose. I can smell the shea butter but lightly - it adds a cool watery tone to the fragrance. This lasts a very long time, its perfect all year round and excellent alone or for layering with other tropical scents. I have never smelled anything this good with coconut before!
Cockaigne - Picture sitting down at an expensive eatery on a Sunday morning and the waiter has just put a huge pile of delectable cinnamon rolls right in front of your eager hands. I get mounds of yellow cake mixed with cinnamon however its not very sweet which makes it wearable. This is a complete comfort scent but soooo yummy!

Rockin' Summer Fragrance Picks
A few of my favorite Summer fragrance picks!
Fragrances:
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Caramel Sunset - Wow let me just say this stuff is amazing, the dry down smells like those creamy caramel squares melting on a freshly picked coconut sprinkled with cream and sugar crystals. I have gotten TONS of compliments on this, people ask me if i have been laying out in the sun all day. The warm weather makes this smell simply divine and the sweet true coconut really shines through. This is defiantly my top pick for a great comfort scent.
Lacoste Dream Of Pink -This fragrance is wispy and light and very unique, it has a slightly warm base with top notes of iced tea and berries so I always feel refreshed when I wear it. Its sweet but not overly so. This is perfect for work and for a weekend out with friends. The only downside is the fact it doesn't last more than a few hours so I do need to re-apply.
Escada Sunset Heat - In my opinion this has to be the most noticeable of all the Escadas and the longest lasting- it opens with a beautiful sweet mango and papaya note and has the same base as the rest of the Escada line, however it is the only one that lasts all day on me and smells delectable on my skin and clothes. I would have to say this is a lot like true warm sparkling sunshine in a bottle and a must have for warm weather - another one that I get a lot of compliments on!
Jlo Miami Glow - Too bad this was limited edition because this stuff is AMAZING and my husband adores the way it smells on me! It smells JUST like Miami Beach and he is actually from Miami born and raised. You can pick up the tweaked notes of Coppertone, really smell the warm sand mingling with a touch of coconut. It is VERY unique and just a truly special fragrance that captures the beach and summer in a bottle WAY better than similar scents such as Bobbi Brown (which stinks like licorice) that Tom Ford Estee' Lauder Azuree Solei (headache anyone?). I'm hoping she brings this back because its getting harder and harder to find.

The Coconut Hut
This has to be one of the best Etailers ever, her fragrances are unique and they have a HUGE selection, they basically specialize in tropical coconut related scents. I have been happy with the customer service and have always received my items with a very short turn around time. The packaging is high quality (waterproof labels and all!) and she includes shells in with the order and is generous with samples. Her lotions are highly scented and last all day long and her Beach Baby Perfumes are killer! Below I have listed just a few of my summer favs:
Bikini Sweetie- This does smell similar to the lotion Tahiti Sweetie but not exactly the same, I purchased this in the body and hair splash and it lasts a long time and feels so nice and refreshing going on. It smells exactly like a fruit smoothie complete with strawberries, peaches, pineapple just every fruit you can imagine in one bottle. Simply divine.
Coconut Tiki Island - This is heavy on the coconut but has a creamy sweet element to it as well, perfect for warm days and the perfect beachy scent. People always asks me what smells so good when I wear this and my husband loves it!
Cotton Candy Island Dream - cotton candy, coconut, pear and mango - this smells awesome, very sweet and fruity and reminds me of Jolly Ranchers I used to love when I was a kid. It does last all day and one of her exclusive blends. This quenches my sweet tooth.
