Back To Blogging....Soon

Hey Divas, long time, no see! We've been crazy busy around here over the past couple of weeks. With the May Divalicious Sample Box campaign on the go, we've been working from sun-up til sun-down everyday trying to have everything ready for the big day. We are very happy to announce that boxes went on sale yesterday at 8:00am ET and were sold out in just over 6 hours. How great is that! Congrats to all of the lucky ones who were able to snag a box and a big round of applause and thank-you to all of our fabulous May 2010 contributors. Don't miss out on the annual "Sizzling Summer Sample Box Sale" coming up in July!

Any spare moments (which have been few and far between..lol) have been spent working on a new "secret project". This project has been in the planning for over two years and has been under construction for over a year. We are very excited to be wrapping things up now and will announce what this "secret project" is soon.

Still lots of work to be done in so many areas...but the good news is that we will be getting back to blogging...soon.

Off To The Beach.....

There's nothing nicer than a carefree afternoon at the beach. The sound of the waves hitting the shore, the warmth of the sun caressing your face, the feeling of smooth sand under your feet, and endless hours to just daydream and enjoy the atmosphere. Ahhh....

Well, as of right now....it is a little too chilly to get out those swimsuits and head to the beach....but, with this lovely 9x12 Beach Chairs Watercolor Print by Laura Trevey, you can enjoy the beach year round!

We Love Paris....and Etsy Too!....{Etsy Purchase}

We love scouring yard sales and Etsy shops for items that will make our themed dinners even more exciting. During a recent visit to Dreamscape Twilight, we found and purchased these lovely Paris Tags. They came as a set of 6 for only $1.25.....an excellent deal! They have been distressed to give them that authentic, vintage look and will make perfect place holders for the guests at our next "Paris" dinner.

We love Etsy and are soooo pleased with our purchase...and the fast shipping too! You know, the little things in life (like tags) really do make a person happy.

For a wide range of die cut styles, cards, and tags....
Visit (and bookmark) Dreamscape Twilight!

Hip-Hip-Hooray.....For Hurraw!

If you’ve been looking for a natural, organic, vegan lip balm that tastes fabulous, then you will love Hurraw! Their fun and exciting lip balms come in a convenient oval shaped tube, making them easier to slip into your pocket....and they leave your lips smooth, conditioned and kissably soft. They come in 12 mouthwatering flavors (lime, lemon, root beer, coconut, cinnamon, vanilla bean, grapefruit, orange, mint, almond, licorice and chocolate). Mmmmm….yummo! The cinnamon and grapefruit balms are tinted to add a hint of color while you soften your lips.

We have tried their lip balms for ourselves and we can tell you (from personal experience) that they are the greatest!! So, lip-balm-lovers….you’ll definitely want to check out their fantastic Hurraw! website and pick up a few lip balms for yourself and for your friends.

Psst....we are pleased to announce that Hurraw! balms will be inside the May Divalicious Sample Boxes!
