Golden Earth Review & Giveaway



I am a mom of two little boys that are 11 months apart. I am also a military wife. I have two dogs, a fish and a gerbil. I have a lot of responsibilities. My life is very crazy at times. That is why I was so happy to review for Golden Earth!

From Golden Earth:

at golden earth, we create organic aromatherapy lotions, chakra oils,perfumes, and body products that promote wellness for the body, mind and spirit. our natural products are made from the finest natural ingredients from around the world including pure therapeutic gradeessential oils, which are aromatic plant extracts and crystal infusions. with each of our aromatherapy and body care products, we continually delight our customers with their own spiritual renewal, physical revitalization, and emotional rejuvenation.


Having just that little something to help keep me calm, cool and collected makes life a little bit easier!


For review, I was sent two oils. 


Euphoriaa classically rich, romantic floral scent that is exquisite.  the divine scent of this rose and jasmine perfume inspires happiness, creativity and a sense of well being.


Chakra 2-sacral chakrathe sacral chakra is located below the navel and relates to the reproductive systems, the bladder, and the kidneys. an in-balance sacral chakra promotes creativity, grace, sensuality, procreation, and sensuality. balance your sacral chakra with our chakra 2 oil, a blend of jasmine essential oil and a carnelian crystal infusion.

Both of the oils you apply like a perfume as often as you like to promote whatever the oil is good for. I tend to put them on when things start getting a little overwhelming. The Euphoria definitely has a floral scent. It smells like roses to me. The smell is not too strong though. It's pleasant.  Chakra 2 still has a floral scent just slightly different from Euphoria. Although again, not a strong scent. I'm not sure if either oil is actually doing what it's supposed to. I do feel a little bit a ease when I put them on. Is it mental, or the oil? I'd like to think it's a little of both!

Golden Earth also sells body moisturizersbody wash, and so much more! They even have a travel line so that you can take them with you when you go on vacation! If you go to Golden Earth's "Why Organic" page, there is a glossary of essential oils where you can see what each of the oils are good for. I found it to be very interesting!

Would you like to try the two oils I reviewed? Well, one of my readers is going to win the same two oils that I have! Euphoria and Chakra 2! Good luck!

The Cream Perfume Company Review & Giveaway

When I got the email saying that I was going to be reviewing for The Cream Perfume Company, I didn't know what to expect. I may be a little behind times, because I had never heard of a cream perfume. When I recieved the package and opened it up, I was pleasantly surprised! I recieved:

Travel Size Coconut Vanille Lotion

2.5oz TRAVEL SIZE. Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.
This has a different smell when you first put it on. It smells kind of 'spicy' at first. Weird, I know being that it's Coconut Vanille. But, once it sets in, the coconut really starts to come out. Since it's travel size, it's perfect to throw in your purse, and small enough to take on a plane!


Lavender Body Moisturizer

6oz. Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.

I really liked the Lavender! There is something a little 'minty' about it. Sweet and a little green smelling.

Rose Body Moisturizer

6oz. Premium and naturally derived oils and extracts from nature combined with premium French certified organic essential oils to combat dehydrated, sore, inflamed and damaged skin.

I'm not too fond of Rose smelling things. This, on the other hand, isn't that bad. It's not too strong or overpowering.

Now on to my favorite part!

ORGANIC Vanilla rêve

Fresh top notes of vanilla and fruity mandarin with apricot, followed by heart notes of jasmine and violet. Ends with an adorable combination of vanilla and mild honey expression. 10g / .35oz

This one I didn't really care for. Wasn't sweet enough. Just didn't hit my nose the right way. I think I'll pass it on to my mom. It smells like something she would like.

Apricot Chypre

A crisp, fruity fusion of black currant, apricot, green notes, lilly of the valley and raspberry. Closes with jasmine, sandalwood and musk. 10g / .35oz

Of the three cream perfumes I recieved, this one was by far my favorite. To me, it smells expensive! I've been putting it on everyday!


Mango poudré

Truly seductive scents of mango and cassis balanced with timeless jasmin and candy sugar accord. A tropical favorite with sandalwood, musk and vanilla. 10g / .35oz

This one was really nice too. I've put it on a few times. I like mango a lot, so this one suited me well.

My overall impression of the Cream Perfume Company is great! Neither the lotions, or the cream perfumes were oily, and the smells were all pretty nice. The cream perfumes were nice because you don't have to use a lot, and you can smell it all day. Usually I can smell perfume for a little while, then the smell fades. The cream perfumes don't seem to fade. That's a big plus for me. I don't want to have to keep reapplying perfume all day.
