Simple Sugars Spotlight & Giveaway!

, by Unknown

On of my last visits to visit my family, I tried out a sugar scrub my younger sister had in the shower.  Immediately I was obsessed with the texture, smell, and how incredibly soft it left my skin. The label read Simple Sugars and I Googled them right out of the shower.

Simple Sugars was created by Lani Lazzari, who wanted to make an all-natural product that would be safe for sensitive skin hers without sacrificing a wonderful smell. I fell in love with the adorable products and reached out to Lani to ask her more about Simple Sugars:

What was the first Simple Sugar Scrub scent you made, and what inspired you to start your own business making them?
The first Simple Sugars scents were Vanilla and Almond. I decided to start making the products because I have had horrible eczema ever since I was a baby, and I couldn't find a product that would help. So, I decided to make my own. I decided to turn Simple Sugars into a business when I gave my scrubs out for Christmas gifts and got an amazing response from my friends and family. I realized I had come up with a really awesome product!

 Do you have a favorite scrub in your collection?
My favorite scrub is definitely Almond. It reminds me of Almond Macaroons. Yum!! And also Green Tea Facial Scrub. I can't go a day without using it!

Why is it so important to you to make your scrubs as green as possible?
I think it's important to try to be as green as possible as a company - we only have one earth, and I truly believe that we should all do our part to be kind to it! We chose all of our ingredients and suppliers with this in mind, and really make an effort to be as eco-friendly as we can!




Lani was kind enough to send me samples of her products and my favorites of the bunch are these:

This was the one my sister had, and the smell is just intoxicating, a Christmasy scent that isn't too strong nor too sweet. 

I love the natural green tea scent that leaves my face silky smooth. My friend Angela tried this while she was over and fell in love with it.

In the winter our feet are prone to be dry & these left my feet feeling healed & soft.

I gave this one to Pietro to try out & he loves it! The men's products smell incredible.


And because I LOVED these products so much, I'm doing a GIVEAWAY! Enter below to win one of two packs! Each pack comes with one Men's Lime Body Scrub & one Simple Sugars Sugar n Spice Body Scrub! You'll love the one for yourself and gift the other to some lucky person in your life!

“Born This Way” Book Review & Giveaway

, by Unknown


“Nobody is better than you, and you’re no better than anyone else.”  

            “Born This Way” by Paul Vitagliano from Quirk Books is a timeline of pictures and snippets from the 1940s to the 2000s of gay adults reflecting back at their childhoods. Not all knew at a young age that they were gay, sometimes their parents and peers knew way before they did, but all agree that they were this way from the beginning.

            The stories range from different time periods and locations from around the world recalling childhoods of both females and males who identify as gay. The stories are everywhere from sad and endearing to upbeat and reflective. I even found a tale from someone named “Perez” who greatly resembled Perez Hilton- a pleasant surprise to see a famous personality include his story in this book. Each snippet is accompanied by only a first name and the age of themselves in their childhood picture so I couldn’t find any other famous names, but maybe you can!

            Aesthetically it’s a great little book: a regular sized coffee table book to give to your friends or family to show your support or just because you love them for being who they are. Even as someone who isn’t gay I found great inspiration reading stories from people who aren’t afraid to just be themselves no matter what. And because I love my readers exactly as you are, I’m giving away this copy to one of you!

Simply enter below and spread the word!
