Did you know . . . .

• There are over 1,000 different kinds of “smellers” in your nose?
  • Test show a 40% improvement in mood when exposed to a pleasant scent.
  • The average human being is able to recognize approximately 10,000 different odors.
  • Your nose can smell directionally, telling you where an odor originates.
  • A woman’s sense of smell is keener than a man’s.
  • No two people smell the odor the same way.

With that being said, it isn’t all that surprising that you can get cards that actually smell.  Scentsational Greeting has come up with a way to add scents to their cards, and let me tell you, they smell wonderful.  I was amazed at how good they smell.  Their signature scents include lavender, vanilla, ocean breeze, lemon, roses, and coffee.  They even have a holiday line including peppermint, christmas tree, and gingerbread.  All you have to do is gently rub the front of the card to release the awesome scents.  They have card for just about every event too.

If you want to send a unique card that everyone will love, check out Scentsational Greeting.  You’ll be the talk of your friends and family.

I personally have a lot of outdoor plants. I was actually outside cutting down a lot of my dead plants today. Since I am allergic to life itself, (Yes, you may laugh at that statement. However, I was allergy tested, and I was allergic to every single thing they tested me for,) I always wear gloves when doing any sort of yard work. I love my Ethel Gloves. First, I have super small hands. I never can find gloves that are 4 sizes too big.  However, these gloves fit like a charm (they also come in several sizes, so if you have bigger hands, they will fit you too).  Second, I love the feel of them.  The inside of these are super soft, so they actually feel nice to wear.  They also have elastic around the wrists.  For me, that is heaven sent, because when I am pulling weeds and dead plants out, I always get dirt into my gloves (which negates the use of the gloves most of the time).  With Ethel Gloves, I did not have that problem.  What is the thing I love most about these?  They are machine washable!

This definitely makes an awesome gift to the woman in your life if she does any sort of gardening outside.  We are always looking for fashionable gloves that fit well and do the job we need them to.  Ethel Gloves fits all of the above, so she’ll love them!

I love love love this tote! I am so sick of having to carry a diaper bag around.  There are no stylish diaper bags either — trust me.  When I got this tote, I instantly fell in love with it (I took this picture when I first got it, hence the tag still being on there).  The fabric of the tote is both very cool looking and and very functional too.  It is actually made from upholstery fabrics, so you know it can handle the test of children and pretty much everything else you can throw at it. This is seriously the perfect briefcase, weekend bag, carry-on, sports bag, large purse, or a diaper bag/purse (like I use it).  The tote has reinforced handles, 5 interior pockets, magnetic closure and can be made with a vinyl bottom so you don’t have to worry where you set it down.  Now, I can get 5 diapers, wipes, Desitin, a change of clothes for Will (my one year old), a couple of toys, my wallet, my cell phone, and snacks in here and still have plenty of room.  I love that I can be fashionable and still have everything I need with me.

This is the perfect gift for the moms in your life (though I am pretty sure any woman in your life would like one of these totes).  Make sure you check out Sharp Hill Designs for all the different fabrics you can choose from.  There is definitely something there for everyone.
