Sarah’s Surprises

The Blue Gecko Candle Company’s Summer Lovin’ fragrance is

“A delightfully romantic blend of delicate apple blossoms, star jasmine and juicy pomegranate, married with a shy hint of sweet and sassy citrus.”

Why is the Summer Lovin’ tart making an appearance during back to school week? Because Summer Loving is a song in the movie Grease - and this morning I had Back To School Again from Grease 2 stuck in my head, so I thought the Summer Lovin’ tarts would be perfect for Back to School week.

See how my convoluted brain works?

If you aren’t allowed to have tarts at school, the Summer Lovin’ fragrance is also available in soap, scented sachets, and a variety of other products from The Blue Gecko Candle Company.

One of the bad things about living in dorms - or having roommates is that everyone sees your stuff.

You definitely won’t mind if they see this watermelon ice cream bundt cake soap, $5 - although you might mind if they use it.

Unfortunately it’s that time again.

The stores are full of school supplies, the college kids have headed to the dorms, and the school buses are about to be on the road again.

Do you have any back to school rituals?

Do you look forward to the kids going back to school, or does it not affect you?

Leave a comment and let me know!

This season doesn’t affect me too much - although the local stores were packed yesterday due to all of the college kids coming back to town.

I don’t think Target was as full the day after Thanksgiving as it was yesterday!

Have you ever had a charm candle or a wish candle - where you burn the candle and find a surprise in the middle of it?

I always thought that they were so cool!

These Nature Meets Ocean Charm Candles, $18, from Slarf and Kel’s kitchen each contain at least 4 charms (the ethereal forest and sea charm candle has 6), and are made with real beach sand.

Doesn’t that sound like fun?

Foaming hand cleanser isn’t your usual bath and body item, but it’s still fun.

And as much as I wash my hands a little hint of the ocean sure would be nice.

This foaming hand cleanser, $5.50 is scented with A Day at the Beach fragrance oil, and contains aloe and vitamin E to help soften skin.

If that worked maybe I wouldn’t have to apply hand lotion every so often …

What are your favorite ocean themed bath or body products?
