For those of you who love Supernatural but don’t have a bath tub to enjoy my bath bombs, we are offering a limited amount of Supernatural Shower Fizz sets! These sets include the following:
Dean Winchester – This denim blue fizz is inspired by Dean Winchester, and carries a scent that can only be described as “Cowboy”. Warm hints of leather and cologne, long stretches of the road ahead, a certain sweetness mixed in. Honestly, this is one of my best scents, along with Sam Winchester’s bomb! Both are difficult to describe but very highly recommended.
Sam Winchester – This Sam Winchester inspired fizz is a flannel green, or the color of the Winchester boys’ eyes. Sam’s fizz also carries a warm, woodsy scent that is comforting but dark around the edges. Honestly, this is one of my best scents, along with Dean Winchester’s scent! Both are difficult to describe but very highly recommended.
KAZ 2Y5 – This fizz is inspired by Dean Winchester’s 1967 Impala, and smells of scents collected over time over many different miles and adventures- apple pie, hints of whiskey and a bit of leather.
Angel of the Lord – This Castiel themed fizz is deep blue with tan on the top, much like it’s namesakes’ trenchcoat and tie combo. The fizz will surround you in the scents of sandalwood and vanilla, a very lovely and relaxing combination.
King of Hell – This Crowley inspired fizz, covered with wisps of black the color of smoke, colored a deep red, while the scents of hot buttered rum swirl around you.
Demon of the Crossroads – Colored like the eyes of a Crossroads demon, this fizz is blood red. The scents of pomegranate cabernet surround you while you ponder exactly what you’ll be asking the demon you conjure.
Purchase your Supernatural Shower Fizz Set HERE! There are only four TWO sets listed right now but I’ll be making more in the future! And if you’re more of a bath bomb person, be sure to check out the bath bomb set HERE!
This weekend I was told a story which, although I’m kind of ashamed to admit it, because holy shit is it ever obvious, is kind of blowing my mind.
A friend of a friend won a free consultation with Clinton Kelly of What Not To Wear, and she was very excited, because she has a plus-size body, and wanted some tips on how to make the most of her wardrobe in a fashion culture which deliberately puts her body at a disadvantage.
Her first question for him was this: how do celebrities make a plain white t-shirt and a pair of weekend jeans look chic? She always assumed it was because so many celebrities have, by nature or by design, very slender frames, and because they can afford very expensive clothing. But when she watched What Not To Wear, she noticed that women of all sizes ended up in cute clothes that really fit their bodies and looked great. She had tried to apply some guidelines from the show into her own wardrobe, but with only mixed success. So – what gives?
His answer was that everything you will ever see on a celebrity’s body, including their outfits when they’re out and about and they just get caught by a paparazzo, has been tailored, and the same goes for everything on What Not To Wear. Jeans, blazers, dresses – everything right down to plain t-shirts and camisoles. He pointed out that historically, up until the last few generations, the vast majority of people either made their own clothing or had their clothing made by tailors and seamstresses. You had your clothing made to accommodate the measurements of your individual body, and then you moved the fuck on. Nothing on the show or in People magazine is off the rack and unaltered. He said that what they do is ignore the actual size numbers on the tags, find something that fits an individual’s widest place, and then have it completely altered to fit. That’s how celebrities have jeans that magically fit them all over, and the rest of us chumps can’t ever find a pair that doesn’t gape here or ride up or slouch down or have about four yards of extra fabric here and there.
I knew that having dresses and blazers altered was probably something they were doing, but to me, having alterations done generally means having my jeans hemmed and then simply living with the fact that I will always be adjusting my clothing while I’m wearing it because I have curves from here to ya-ya, some things don’t fit right, and the world is just unfair that way. I didn’t think that having everything tailored was something that people did.
It’s so obvious, I can’t believe I didn’t know this. But no one ever told me. I was told about bikini season and dieting and targeting your “problem areas” and avoiding horizontal stripes. No one told me that Jennifer Aniston is out there wearing a bigger size of Ralph Lauren t-shirt and having it altered to fit her.
I sat there after I was told this story, and I really thought about how hard I have worked not to care about the number or the letter on the tag of my clothes, how hard I have tried to just love my body the way it is, and where I’ve succeeded and failed. I thought about all the times I’ve stood in a fitting room and stared up at the lights and bit my lip so hard it bled, just to keep myself from crying about how nothing fits the way it’s supposed to. No one told me that it wasn’t supposed to. I guess I just didn’t know. I was too busy thinking that I was the one that didn’t fit.
I thought about that, and about all the other girls and women out there whose proportions are “wrong,” who can’t find a good pair of work trousers, who can’t fill a sweater, who feel excluded and freakish and sad and frustrated because they have to go up a size, when really the size doesn’t mean anything and it never, ever did, and this is just another bullshit thing thrown in your path to make you feel shitty about yourself.
I thought about all of that, and then I thought that in elementary school, there should be a class for girls where they sit you down and tell you this stuff before you waste years of your life feeling like someone put you together wrong.
So, I have to take that and sit with it for a while. But in the meantime, I thought perhaps I should post this, because maybe my friend, her friend, and I are the only clueless people who did not realise this, but maybe we’re not. Maybe some of you have tried to embrace the arbitrary size you are, but still couldn’t find a cute pair of jeans, and didn’t know why.
This post is one of those things that I will reblog every time it appears on my dash. This is so important, and no one ever tells you about it.
I almost didn’t read this but then I did and I’m really glad that I did.
Super important
@skeletree that was honestly me, even reading your comment as I was about to scroll…this is a very important post everyone.
I don’t have the energy to rehash tonight’s hysterics. I think you should leave. I’m not here to apologize about what happened tonight. Then what are you here to apologize for? Everything else.
