Good Enough To Eat… June 23, 2008

                                               \

These adorable soap popsicles from Jelly Pong Pong really do look good enough to eat! With their cute appearance and fun scents, they make a great addition to your shower time. They also have saponified oils and glycerin to help cleanse and moisturize. At $7, they’re a little steeper than I ‘d like them to be, but they’re just too cute to resist!

Their different “flavors”:

  Lollichoc (fudge scented)
Looney Lemon (Lemonade scented)
The Love Stick (raspberry scented)
Neopolitan (chocolate, strawberry, and vanilla scented)
Watermelon (watermelon scented, of course!)
Summer (sweet cotton scented)

I love long and flowy skirts for summer. They’re especially girly and make a very bold statement. If miniskirts are more your thing, then go with those.

To wear a longer skirt, first find the skirt you like. Then look for a shirt that matches it. I suggest a plain tank top or t-shirt. Try to add a corresponding necklace, bracelet or earrings. Don’t overdo the accessories!
