On A Colorado Note: The Thursday Files

Hello everyone!

As I announced in last Thursdays blog post, The Zen Den is dedicating Thurdays to the wonderful state of Colorado, and awesome things that are happening around town, or things that have happened that I took part in.

This week I am sharing photos from when my husband and I did a 5k walk for Susan G. Komens Race for the Cure this past October. It was a MIGHTY cold Sunday.. but boy was it ever worth it. A literal sea of people out for an amazing cause.

 That's my hubs there! One morning he said to me, "Let's do Susan G. Komens Race for the Cure. I was in.. and so incredibly proud and happy to have a husband like him. We chatted a bit.. shivered a bit.. got separated from one another for a bit.. but mainly we were silent, looking around in awe and admiration of people who were walking in memory of someone, or who were currently fighting breast cancer. Beautiful individuals with amazing strength. As long as we are able to, we'll be out walking with them each and every year.

My husband and I live downtown. Heart of the city. Having a car is a liability!

I'm totes chill with that though. I mean, I love walking.. hell, my maiden name is Walker.. the writings on the wall. I really do enjoy walking, but I am guilty of not always having the right shoes on. Walking half a mile to My Favorite Muffin in Guess Boots that are a half size too big (but "you" (me) got them because "you" (I) could not leave the store without them) not such a great idea. Sooo, this evening I gave my toesies the VIP treatment with 303 Dolls Passion Petals and Pearls Bath Salts.. which make an aMAHzing foot soak. Spent an hour with warm bubbly water that had the lovely scent of roses. It was so NOT torture :-) My feet are silky smooth and loving me once again.. now about those boots.....

After I finished towel drying my toesies, I made my nummy tea, and nearly slid across the floor because I'd slathered my toes with my crystal rose salve. Now that my friends, would have been just plain unfortunate and slightly hilarious (to my husband only) and I probably would have stabbed him with a piece of the broken cup.. if it had broken.. but it didn't.. and lol.. I would not do that to him.

If you'll excuse me I have a spot of tea to sip and an Allure I need to bury my head in. Ciao!

Salted Honey.. Om Nom Nom Care For Your Bods Rough Spots

I love my face and body care regimen. Often my husband thinks I'm in the bathroom for prolonged periods to get away from him.. that's only true 5% of the time. ( ;-D )

I've been using the 303 Dolls Lucky in Lime and Rosemary Honey Mask for months now. My face does not behave correctly without it. I'm not just whistling Dixie.. my skin feels tight and lame without it. A few late evenings when I did not feel like doing my whole regimen..  I found that I cannot live without it. It was a good thing.

Honey is a "honey" of a product :-) !!  I decided to add a little sea salt and other delici~oh~so things to another honey mix and dubbed it Salted Honey. I wanted it to act as an alternate to Lucky in Lime, and also work well on my tootsies and kneesies. It did not disappoint. I rubbed it in, let it sit for two minutes, and  gently took a warm washcloth and washed it off. As Oprah would yell, "woooo~oooo!" Softness a plenty. It also works very well on my hands. I'm a bit obsessive compulsive when it comes to hand washing, so naturally.. that can make them look.. for lack of a better word.. tiy-urd. Salted honey leaves them looking.. rested!!

On A Colorado Note..

Each Thursday, the Zen Den is going to start writing a blog about something awesome that happened in Colorado that I was a part of, went to.. or noticed while I was out, because let's be honest here.. Colorado is pretty damn awesome.

Soooo, everyone in Denver is United in Orange. We're all pulling for our beloved Broncos! This morning at Sam's #3, 9 News Denver gave out awesome Bronco beanies (see said beanie on my head there) and a lot of the fans stayed to have breakfast. My husband and I went and had a blast! Made the news.. lot's of fun.

Introducing: Brit-Brat-a-Licious

I can finally share the new flavor being introduced into the 303 Dolls Family. Brit-Brat-a-Licious is its name. It was made with the idea of my lovely niece in mind, who will be turning 21 tomorrow!

She's a lovely, vivacious, and intelligent young lady, and I wanted to create a lip butter for her that represented who she was. This is a lip butter that has the flavors of the classic bubblelicious bubble gum, as well as a bit of a floral scent. Ruby red coloring and a cute silver tin (or lip butter "sticks"your choice.)

I couldn't wait to get the lip butter to my niece, and she was excited to receive it. "I feel like a VIP" were her exact words:) Love that little lady.. <3 this was a fun one to create, for sure.

Love-a-Licious

My sweet niece Brittany and I in San Diego, circa 2000.

Name That.. Oh Hold On, I Can't Tell You Yet!

Creating new scents and flavors has become my middle name. It's fun, exciting when it's successful, and the added bonus is being in the kitchen cooking up a flavor of lip gloss and tricking my husband because he thought I was making dessert!

The excitement behind this particular flavor is a joy, so very excited to unveil it this weekend! However, mums the word for now.. my lips are sealed.. with this awesome new flavor! Yummerz!!
