#Phantom is Coming! Win a Altered Art Bracelet from aLTeReDLyNx

Altered Art is a popular fad in the world of handmade jewelry. One of the reasons its so popular, is because its a wonderful way to express yourself. You can create altered art with any of your favorite things from television stars to spiritual beliefs.   aLTeReDLyNx is an Etsy shop that specializes in creating beautiful altered art link bracelets using images of some of your favorite celebrities. I can find something for everyone in my family in this shop.  There is an Audrey Heburn bracelet my mom would love and Justin Beiber bracelet my daughter would die for.

For me, there was only one choice in the aLTeReDLyNx shop--the Phantom of the Opera Bracelet. The bracelet features nine scenes from the Hollywood version of Andrew Lloyd's Weber's musical. Each bracelet is made from quality stainless steel with a pretty silver tone finish. The pictures are protected by a crystal clear jeweler's resin to ensure that the bracelet's images will hold up for years to come. They are stretchy, so they will fit almost any size wrist, and they slide easily over your hand with no difficult clasps to fasten. They are definitely the perfect choice for any Phantom lover!

To celebrate the release of Phantom, one lucky winner  is going to receive this awesome Phantom of the Opera altered art bracelet. To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs.

#Phantom is Coming! Auric Blends Review & Giveaway (3 Winners)

I have always been interested in aromatherapy and I know that different scents can really enhance your moods. For example, lavender is great for relaxation. Because of my love of aromatherapy, I have become much more picky when I am choosing perfumes. Things with heavy, flowery scents just aren't right for me. And I am always more inclined to choose perfumes that are made from pure essential oils and other natural ingredients, like the perfumes you can find at Auric Blends.

I received a nice selection of Auric Blends oils to try out including the Love, Egyptian Goddess, and Moonlight. I was very impressed with the quality. As soon as I opened the box I was in love with the lovely designs of their bottles and applicators. The oils come in thick glass bottles with roll on applicators. The scents are strong enough to make a statement without suffocating you or the people around you. I especially loved their Himalayan Musk which comes in a beautiful carved stone container that makes a lovely decoration.  This is a cream perfume which goes on smoothly and lasts all day.

I was also lucky enough to try out some of their incense. I received the Seduction scent which was perfect since my anniversary is coming up in a few weeks. The sticks burned evenly without creating an over abundance of smoke. They did not go out until they had burned all the way through. The nice packaging lets your incense sticks stay fresh until you are ready to use them. Seduction is only one of many scents they carry including the popular Nag Champa.

To help celebrate the release of Phantom, three lucky winners are going to receive any one fragrances of their choice (Excluding Egyptian Goddess and Love in the larger sizes). To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs. Entries will be merged and one winner will be chosen. Giveaway will end on 3/23/12 and is open to the US only. Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to Auric Blends for offering this great prize.

#Phantom is Coming! Earth Star Studios Review & Giveaway

 

There are two things that I really enjoy collecting. One is crystals and stones. The other is Goddesses. I have Goddess statues, jewelry, incense burners, plaques, wood carvings and just about anything else I can get my hands on. If its a Goddess, I will probably buy it. One of the things I have recently started to collect are Goddess prints.  I always had a few of the classics, but I recently discovered that Etsy offers a  wide range of glamorous Goddess art.  One of the shops I came across in my travels is  Earth Star Studios. From original water colors to holiday greeting cards, your patron Goddess is waiting for you to discover her at Earth Star Studios.

Meg, the artist behind the paintings, was nice enough to send me a large selection of her work to review. As beautiful as they look on the computer screen, they are even more amazing in person. My two favorites are the Luna and the Danu.  Luna is my circle name, and so of course I had to have this one.  I love her flowing hair and the reflection of the moon on the water. Its the perfect center piece for a full moon ritual. Danu is the Goddess of Fertility, and in this picture, she is portrayed as breastfeeding an infant, which appealed to me as a mother.  Each Goddess is left featureless so that the individual can find a personal connection with her. Both of these pieces are part of the Spiral Goddess collection, which features a mix of human features and expressions of energy which flow as spirals from their hands and feet.  

One of the other items I really love at the Earth Star Studios are the Wheel of the Year prints and greeting cards. They have one for every pagan holiday. The one shown in the photo above is Ostara, the Spring Equinox. Its the day that the day are night are equal. The tradition of eggs and rabbits being symbols of Spring are derived from the Anglo-Saxon Dawn Goddess, Eostre, who is depicted in this print.

To celebrate the release of Phantom, one lucky winner  is going to receive an amazing prize pack from Earth Star Studio featuring one 11x17 Luna as well as several 8 x10 prints and a few greeting cards. To enter, just complete the Rafflecopter form below. You will be able to enter this giveaway at both the New Age Mama and Author Laura DeLuca blogs. You only need to enter ONCE. Please do not enter on both blogs. Entries will be merged and one winner will be chosen. Giveaway will end on 3/20/12 and is open  worldwide. Winners will be notified via email and will have 48 hours to reply. Thanks again to Earth Star Studios for offering this great prize.

#Phantom is Coming! Win Phantom Essential Oil from Varuca's Vault!

Varuca's Vault creates perfumes using all natural essential oils.  But they do it with a very special twist. All of their oils are inspired by movies, music and other alternative lifestyle themes. Each one of their fantastic oils are made using only 100% organic ingredients.  There are never any dyes, animal products or cheap synthetic fragrances added, so you know what you are putting on your skin every time. Choose from one of dozens of fun fragrances or contact them to create a custom oil all your own. Just send them a photo and the scents of your choice.

One of my favorite products in the store is the Phantom Essential Oil Fragrance, which was inspired by the horror version of the Phantom of the Opera.  It brings together the two sweet scents of juniper berries and blood orange. Definitely a combination that the Phantom could approve of.  I can totally see him dabbing a little on his arm before leaving for the big Don Juan scene. If you want to give this scent a try, you can get yours at Veruca's Vault for only $13.
