Magick Moon Soapworks

Have you heard?  Magic Moon Soapworks has made some changes!

You'll love their new packaging, logo and website changes.

I love this company's products and I'm so excited that they'll be even better with the new soap re-formulations and bigger, yes I said, bigger bar sizes!!!

So hurry over for their Moonlight Madness sale.  And while you're there, be sure to check out their newsletter where you can find out how to get a free bar of their new 6oz size soap, "Affair to Remember" Plus, with the newsletter you'll keep on top of what's happening, disounts, giveaways and other stuff just for subscribers!

Be sure to tell them Out of The Box Sampler sent you!

(PS.  Everyone who purchased a March sampler box will get to enjoy a sample soap from Magic Moon Soapworks too)

Take a peek...

For those of you that have never purchased a box from Out of the Box Sampler, I thought I'd give you a peek into my box from November. It arrives in a priority postal box, that you open to find this....
How sweet is that lil hand made card? Each box is different. Some months they are pink or black... you never know what to expect, and they always have a bow and lil extra on top.

The anticipation builds as you open the box and see the paper filler protecting your samples for this month. You will also find a paper with the discounts that the contributors are giving that month. From free shipping to a percentage off, there are always money saving offers! Not to mention there are always giveaways!... make sure you see the previous post on this blog on how to win!

You pull off the paper, andddddddddd oh! You just cant wait to dive in! Doesn't it look fun? What can be in there! What have they sent this month????

Can you believe all the goodies my box held? There are earrings, lotions, soaps, tarts, carpet freshener, candles, cake toppers... all kinds of fun things! The box also smells AMAZING! Many of the sponsors dont give sample size items, they give full size! Just one box will keep you happy as a clam until next months box!

Make sure that you are on the newsletter list, so you will know of when the December box goes on sale. Look at how much fun I had with November! Dont you wanna have that kind of fun too????

Join us!

You will not be disappointed!!!!

For The Hippie In Us All

I know there's a little hippie inside of me because I love all things 60's and 70's. I'm actually a little bummed that I missed the "Flower Child" years. I definitely was born a little late. Some of my favorite musicians come from that time. Of course, I'm not going to hold anything against the 80's. I loved the "hair band" age too. But there's just something that draws me to the tie dye and peace movement. So I wanted to share a few Etsy finds that I thought might bring a little "love and harmony" into your life.
