Refillable Body Care Without The Garbage

There's so much wasted plastic these days. I am even guilty of wasting plastic, so I always try to find ways to offset my usage.

It's why I turn to Wild. They sell refillable body care--you buy the case, and then refill it with your favorite fragrance. This way you aren't constantly tossing away empty plastic. 

If you are a fan of spooky season as I am, they even have special Halloween packaging. I was sent the skeleton deodorant & lip balm case with the spooky scents. 

Did I like the scents though? Yes! I thought the Witches Brew had a sweet scent--it's notes are juicy bloodcurrant, poached plum, and sweet cherry. The Vanilla Voodoo was vanilla, spiced patchouli, and amber. This one was my favorite. 

The lip balm helped with my cracked lips. It went on smooth and gave my lips the relief they needed. 

Wild also has body washes and gift sets for the upcoming holiday season. 

And if skeletons aren't your jam, it's fine. They have SO many different case options. 

You can feel good about buying Wild products, because they are aluminum and cruelty-free, vegan, plus made with 94% natural ingredients. 

And you can save 20% on your order with the coding AIRINGMYLAUNDRY. 

With the holidays approaching, Wild is the best choice for those who are environmentally conscious. They currently have the cutest Paddington case, so hurry over and check them out. 

Cora From Music & Lyrics Costume

My daughter Natalie went to a Halloween party over the weekend.

Homoween, it was called.

It was a party for the queer community, but anyone was welcome. Natalie is a proud pansexual, so they are her people.

She decided to go as Cora from Music & Lyrics.

If you've never seen the movie, it's spectacular. It's a delightful rom com starring Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. Hugh plays a has been member of a boy band from back in the day and writes songs for the current pop stars, but he struggles with finding the right words. Drew is excellent with words, so he hires her to help him write a hit song for Cora, the current It girl. 

Behold Cora.

Here she is from the movie. She is played by Haley Bennett. 

Obviously Natalie added a wig. Her real hair is short and red.

She found all the pieces on Amazon. The skirt, top, and the wraps for her legs.

She said the party was crazy, with all sorts of creative costumes. Most had no clue who she was. They assumed Britney Spears and she'd be like, "CORA FROM MUSIC & LYRICS!"

She did get overstimulated so she didn't stay for the entire party. She's like me: if there's too many people in a close proximity, I shut down. 

She might wear this on actual Halloween. She's having a small get together with friends. 

So have you ever seen Music & Lyrics? If not, I believe it's streaming on Netflix. 

Villains Boo Buckets At McDonald's

When I heard McDonald's was releasing villains boo buckets this year, I knew I had to get one. The villains are fabulous with their zingers. 

These were the options. Ursula. Cruella, Maleficent. Scar. Jafar. (Personally I think red should have been Mother Gothel..)

You never know which bucket you'll receive. It depends on the store. I kept my fingers crossed for Maleficent. We've always loved her, my daughter especially. She would casually dress up as her on a regular Friday. Just because. 

And guess which bucket was handed over?

Maleficent! Hooray!

It's pretty awesome and we do re-use these. I generally fill it with candy. 

And you get stickers!

I much prefer the villains buckets to the ones they had in the past:

But NOTHING can beat the ones from the 80s. The quality is so much better. And they have actual LIDS. 

Still, these villains boo buckets are pretty cool. 

Will you be grabbing a villains bucket?
