Soulgasm: Perfume Review

Soulgasm

I was recently given the opportunity to review a new perfume called Soulgasm.

Here are the details:

Soulgasm is the first fragrance by Sasha Varon.  It claims to be a luxe and sexy perfume.

Head/Top Notes: succulent peach, Anjou pear, South African freesia, ripe black currant
Heart: wild, night-blooming jasmine, delicate Eurasian lily, multi-faceted woodberry
Base Notes: clean musk, warm amber, sweet French vanilla

My thoughts:

Even though I only received a tiny sample to review the full size bottle comes with an adorable black vintage atomizer (in other words a sprayer or spritzer).

The price for 2.4 oz. is $65.00 and that seems a bit pricey to me but depending on your budget that might not be a factor.

It’s a playful scent for an evening out that isn’t too fruity or too heavy.

For more information or to purchase visit sashavaron.com.

Disclosure: I received a sample to facilitate my review but it in no way affected my opinion.  No compensation was received.

TinyPrints is offering another free Mother’s Day card of your choice when you use coupon code MDGIFT at checkout.  These customizable cards are just darling!  I wish I saw this freebie before I spent too much at Hallmark.  Shipping is free if you have the card sent to yourself or $0.44 if you choose to send it directly to your recipient.

This code is only good for today 4/27 but check back at TinyPrints’ Facebook page after 4/27 because it’s likely that they’ll post another code after this one expires. Update: This coupon code will remain valid as long as long as supplies last.  Before designing your card I recommend visiting their Facebook page and clicking the “Free Card” tab to make sure there are still cards remaining.

Hopscout’s Stay-at-Home Millionaire Mom

Hopscout millionaire

Let me start with the summary:

PLEASE CLICK HERE AND VOTE FOR MY VIDEO!

Let me start at the beginning.  Hopscout (formerly known as Liluxe) is a site that sells kids toys, one cool toy a day.  Several sites do a deal-a-day but Hopscout stands out from the crowd because they are the only ones focused on classic and timeless toys!  Ya’ll know I love a good deal but I also LOOOVE classic toys (classic anything really)!  Hopscout has great products, good deals and a neat video to go along with each toy they sell.

Hopscout announced a while back that they were going to be hiring 5 new editors.  I shared this news on my blog, Twitter, & Facebook but it wasn’t until my husband saw the opportunity and asked me about it that I seriously thought about applying myself.  I thought it would be an incredible opportunity with great perks but I was hesitant to try because the first cut would required many, many people to vote for my application video.  My husband knew this was the perfect job for me and encouraged me to give it a try.  Here I am, giving it my best shot!

I’m not one who likes to ask for votes, that’s just not my personality.  I was recently in a contest for StartUpNation’s Leading Mom in Business and I quietly placed a button on my sidebar to advertise it.  I never tweeted about it once!  So, yes, this is very difficult for me to do but I hope you’ll see why I am doing it and will go vote for me. : )

Here are 10 reasons why I know I would be a GREAT Hopscout editor!

10. I’m a kid at heart.  I enjoy board games and tea parties as much as little girls.

9. I love reviewing good products and spreading the word about them.

8. I greatly enjoy social media and interacting with other “real” parents.

7. I love toys!  Thinking of my old Light Bright still brings a smile to my face every time and don’t give me a Magna Doodle because I won’t give it back.

6. I get a lot of fulfillment from blogging (I think this one was a given, right?).

5. I have always wanted to be a stay-at-home mom but still have another small job or hobby of my own.

4. I looove to shop!

3. I get joy from giving to others and making them smile.

2. I’m a hard worker and strive to do my best at every job given.

1. I’m passionate about kids playing with real toys and not battery operated, no-imagination games!

Convinced yet?  I hope so!  Please take a moment of your time to vote for my video. You know I would do the same for you if you asked me to (and I have for several of you who have asked me to vote for your cute baby picture, music video, or adorable pet picture). 🙂

In case any of you are wondering, if I do get the job you can rest assured that nothing will change here at Embracing Beauty or Beauty4Moms!  You’ll still get the same coupons, freebies, deals, & giveaways like always.

3 Ways You Can Help Spread The Word!

1. If you have a Twitter account, retweet the following on Twitter – RT: @Beauty4Moms wants to be a @hopscout editor! #stayathomemillionaire mom Please vote for Ashley Walkup – http://on.fb.me/emMqu8

2. If you have a Facebook page any post you would write encouraging people to “Like” my video (http://on.fb.me/emMqu8) would be greatly appreciated.
