We are officially in the 3 week of school and you guessed it, school is CLOSED!!! Yep, school have been in session for 12 days and they have already been out for 2. Luckily next week is a full week!!!

The girls are well, no new changes for them. They are currently enjoying the 6th and 2nd grade respectively. Just in case you don’t follow me on IG, just a heads up, the Queendom will be on vacation 9/20-9/21 returning to its regularly scheduled program 9/24. But before I skedaddle out of here, let’s check out todays featured collection from Taryn of Anchor & Heart Polish.

On to the polish…..

Moore Swatches: September Indie Pickup – Horror Movies

***PRESS (PR) SAMPLE NOTICE ***

Hey Sugas!! I wanted to pop in for a sec and let you all know about 2 products that will be available during September IPU. Just in case you missed last months post, here’s the 411.

Indie Pickup (IPU) was created due to the growing popularity, success, increased desire and interest from makers of indie products wanting to join PPU (Polish Pickup). Indie Pickup (IPU) follows the same format as its’ sister site, Polish Pickup, but with a twist. IPU brings exclusive, non-polish items based the same monthly theme of PPU.

Available: once a month, on the third Friday – Monday. 

Shipping: All purchases are preorder and will ship approximately 3 weeks after order is placed.

So now that you’re caught up, this month’s theme is….horror movies!!!

Alter Ego has created a soap that’s kinda…. unusual. Why? Because it has the scent of chicken. As soon as I opened the package I smelled Top Ramen Noodles Chicken Flavor. At first I thought, I ‘d never use this but then I thought about how funny it would be as a prank to use on my kids. 

They noticed the scent right away and promised they would get me back… lol. This chicken scented soap would be a perfect gift for that prankster in your life. Or…. anyone that loves ramen noodles.  

LynB Designs has created a perfume oil that is both light and refreshing yet noticeable and pleasing. I love this scent and wished a had more. A little dab behind the ear lasts all day.

Be sure to add both of these products to your wishlist!

Enjoy…
