A Review: Pure Gioia

Some of you already know I am on a quest to find a replacement for what used to be the Best Bath & Body Company out there and in my quest, I will do a review for each place just to let you know my thoughts and if I ever do find a actual replacement for them.

This company is called Pure Gioia, it means Pure Joy. She created this company because a company where she used to purchase her Bath & Body products from went out of business so she started her own. The scents, each and every one of them that i purchased, I love. She has a 10 piece sampler that I ordered where you can get various different scents and a Lip Balm. The Lip Balm feels good on my lips and it smells good to and since my lips are below my nose I continue to get a "whiff" of the scent every now and then.

I ordered the following scents:

Sea Spray - it smells to fresh and so clean. Love.
Tropical Banana and Pineapple - a nice spring and summer scent.
Mango Peach Fusion - I fell in love with this scent. My Lip Balm was in this scent as well.
Pink Can of Pop - Smells just like the name.
Summer Sun & Sand - very nice summer scent as well. Light.
Pink Powdered Baby - This one smelled okay, not one of my faves though.
Lilac & Lilies - Surprisingly I really liked this one, Love.
Sunny Island Nectar - Also a nice spring/summer scent.
Strawberry Cake Batter - I'm a huge fan of all things strawberry scented so this was a winner.

My Top 3 are Sea Spray, Mango Peach Fusion and Lilac and Lilies.

These were all Whipped Body Butters so I'm not sure about how long the scent lasts but the scents are spot on, each and every one. She has Moisturizing Body Mist Sprays but I haven't tried them yet. The whipped body butter is very silky and moisturizing. Not greasy at all and of course smells good.

The delivery was super fast, Packaging was done nicely. I will definitely order from here again.
Check out her site on Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/PuraGioia to see what other products she sells.

All of you that know the word of Prayer please pray for my Friend Mrs. TDJ

The Love of her Life has passed away and today she puts him to rest. I ask that you please pray for her and her family today. Cover her Lord. She needs you. Only you can get her through this. I cannot imagine the pain and sorrow she feels. God Bless her and Keep her. Give her the strength and courage to keep on. She needs you lord. Please Cover Her.



I Love You Friend and although I can't be there with you today, know that you are in my heart and on my mind. I'm praying as hard as I can for your strength.

A Product Review: Sweet Therapy

I love love love Bath & Body Products and have made it a mission to try out as many companies as I can. Recently I tried out a company called Sweet Therapy that is located on Etsy.
Their website is: http://www.etsy.com/shop/sweettherapy
They also have a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/SweetTherapy1
I ordered two things: The Mango Peach Body Scrub and the Mango Peach Whipped Body Frosting.
(see below as pictured on Etsy)


This is how my package came out the box and it smelled delicious. The third product was a free gift from the company. It was well packaged and delivered quickly. 


I used it a couple days later after receiving it and I am impressed. The Body Scrub really exfoliated and softened my skin. I really felt a difference afterwards. I will definitely be purchasing more products from this company in the future. The owner's name is Tanaya and I know her from being in a group with her on Facebook. If you give her a try, let her know you heard about her from me, on my blog.

The Coalition - "Official Trailer" by Team Sizzle


"The Coalition" Trailer - OFFICIAL from Team Sizzle Films on Vimeo.


The bad boys club is really not all that bad. Young, rich and handsome...the boys know how to have a good time. They love women, fastcars and doing whatever they want to do. There comes a time in life, however, when karma is helped along. When it's done by a group of scorned women...it can prove to be devastating.
