Wearing my Crown ... Around my Neck

 

I got the cutest (squealing, jumping, and clapping) necklace from a kind-hearted SoapQueen reader. I love it soooooo much! In fact, I'm wearing it right now. It was made just for me and I feel very special. It also came in its own cute, adorable bag handmade bag. Thank YOU to Holly P. from Lotion Bar Cafe for sending me such a thoughtful gift. **You are a doll!** (Side note: Her Baby Booty Balm has the cutest label on it. Swoon!)

And, though it might be hard to tell, the necklace is sitting on top of a bar of cold process soap. Guess what it is? It's next Thursday's blog tutorial! I can't wait to share it with you but you'll need to wait another week because tomorrow is a new episode of SoapQueen.TV. We've been in post-production editing for a few months on a nature-inspired melt and pour episode and can't wait to share it with you tomorrow. 

Finally, in industry related news, About.com Skincare is doing their Reader's Choice Awards. Some of the categories include 'Best Budget Lotion' and 'Best Indie Line'. I'm pretty sure I know a lot of indie beauty lines that would be great for this award. So go, speak up for your favorite brand (even if it is your own brand)!
