Stampington & Company
creates such beautiful magazines that seem more like a book than a simple magazine.
You may have heard of their magazines "Where Women Create" or the "Artful Blogging" that I have mentioned before. They publish several others so there is literally a magazine for everyone. Their newest, "Willow and Sage" is chock full of homemade bath & body products.
The photography is beautiful and eye candy to those who love beauty products, or just those who love photography! While I admit that some of the recipes go over the head of a novice like me (and I wouldn't even attempt them!) there are several DIY projects that are great for anyone to try. Oatmeal Honey Face Scrub, Cooling Cucumber Face Mask, Whipped Coconut Oil, Vanilla Rose Body Scrub, Handmade Washcloths, and many more.
Not only are the projects amazing but the articles are as well. I love MaryJane's Farm books and magazines and products and was thrilled to see her article, "The Art of Bathing" in the Summer 2014 issue. Or reading an article about "Wharton Farms", which started out as a hobby farm and morphed into a bath and body business.
This is a magazine to savor and enjoy several evenings in a row. Sometimes I flip through to ogle the photos. Other times I get enraptured in an article or recipe.
Instead of going into the recycle bin after I finish, like all my other magazines, this will go on my bookshelf. It's so pretty and useful and a great addition to my DIY reference books.

I must use facial moisturizer or my face feels like it will crack in pieces and fall off. :)
ReplyDeleteI have to pick just one? Hands down, my favorite beauty product EVER is Urban Decay's Pore Perfecting Complexion Primer Potion. To this day, I have never found a product that minimizes the appearance of pores like this little tube does. Worth every single penny.

I make my own soaps, bath salts, and am working on sugar scrubs and other products.

I am still just a sucker for Lush products, and have been using up all other products in my house to justify buying more Lush! I wrecky hands between the store and yard work, and Handy Guguru is above and beyond anything I've used before!
