Hello N.E.E.T. peeps! This is Jeanee, the N.E.E.T Beauty Blogger, sharing a line of eco skin products that not only nourish the body but also awaken the senses and promote self-awareness.
Jolie, the creator of Soaptopia, brings you the finest and freshest, 100% JUNK-FREE body care products available anywhere.

Jolie began making natural soaps that were chemical and allergen free, and has since expanded her line to include candles, bubble bath, shaving soap and more!
1. I Am PLANTfumes – All 12 perfumes are organic and has a unique, specially crafted blend of essential oils.
2. Oil Slathers - A non-greasy, soak-in massage body oil that adds moisture and vitamins deep into your skin.
3. Double Bubble 2-Soap Gift Box – A set of two all natural handmade soaps. Each healthy bar is a HUGE 6-7 oz.
4. the Good Rub – After you clean and rinse, grab a handful of this rich oil, honey and salt mixture and rub it all over your body. Rinse. The salt scrubs and smoothes the skin, the natural oils penetrate and moisturize and the pure essential oils make you smell yummy!
Check out Jolie talk about how she got started and what makes Soaptopia 100% pure yumminess.
Hey y’all! Katy from Dirty Hems here! This time around I’m going to coach you through the creation of “fishtail” braids, which have been spotted all over the runways, the blogosphere & the streets. It’s super easy once you get the hang of it! I’ve created a video of myself braiding my hair and there is also a step by step guide below. Have fun!

Step One: Divide hair into two sections.
Step Two: Separate a small piece from one section and bring it over to the opposite section.
Step Three: Now take a small piece from the opposite section.
Step Four: Bring it over to the first section.
Step Five: Repeat steps two through four until braid is desired length.
Feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments section! ♥
