I love purple, and I love octupi - so the Tattoo Inspired Cephalopod Octopus Necklace, $14 with free s&h, from Pet Zombie Creations is irresistable!

Of course, I have to admit that I did think this was a spider until I saw it close up!

Either way, it’s adorable, don’t you think?

Ahh, it’s always fun to browse indie jewelry!

This week I’m focusing on jewelry, and I’d love to hear about your favorite indie jewelry designers!

In honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day - I’ve got a few pirate themed bath goodies for you!

I hope you enjoy!

Pirate Fizzies from Sassy Scrubs and Such.

Pirate Skull Shea Soap made with black australian clay, and scented with grape concord, by Jadewicks.

Super Bad Exfoliating Body Scrub scented with Holidays on a Pirate Ship from SuperBad.

And last but not least, the Pirate Mania Soap Set from
Uniquely Pampered.

How are you celebrating talk like a pirate day?

I had to feature this soap because it’s so pretty!

The Tropical Style Hawaiian Black Sea Salt Soap, $5 from Savor has a natural black color due to the charcoal and minerals found in Hawaiian Lava.

It’s not your traditional bath stuff, but really - what’s a bath or shower without shampoo and/or conditioner?

Hoity Toity’s Sheer Satin Shampoo, $7 for 4 oz, is made with “essential vitamins, botanicals and wheat protein” and it’s safe for color treated and processed hair.

The Sheer Satin Conditioner, $7 for 4 oz:

“is light for daily use; enhances shine and manageability while restoring smooth and lively hair. This exquisite formula normalizes both dry and oily hair and scalp. Plant oil extracts in a base of Lavender and Chamomile flower water help repair damaged hair. Enhanced with Vitamin E and a complete Vitamin B complex for shine, body and nourishment.”

Of course the only problem is deciding on the scents - do I match the shampoo to the conditioner?

Choose complementary fragrances (Coconut Vanilla and Cotton Candy) - or completely unmatching ones?

Do I try unscented, or stick with an essential oil blend like grapefruit peppermint?

Or just buy a few more items so I try all the fragrances I think I’ll like?

So many choices - so little time!

If you’ve tried Hoity Toity I’d love to hear about your experiences.
