Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals Bronzer in Ginger Glow Swatches & Review

Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals Bronzer Wet n Wild Ultimate Minerals Bronzer in Ginger Glow Swatches & Review

Just in time for the warmer months, Wet n Wild brings us a new shade of their Ultimate Minerals Bronzer: Ginger Glow.

Badger Balm has been around since the mid 1990′s and have been using Certified Organic ingredients for many years.

Now let’s discuss their “mascot” of sorts. I don’t know a lot about badgers but have heard they can be mean. Is it wrong that now I want one as a pet? Ha, I would never have a wild animal as a pet, just a fantasy. But I would rather have one like this fellow…

Question of the Week

QOTW 2 24 12 Question of the Week

Happy end of the week!

The above photos were taken by me using various iPhone apps, then stitched together using the PicFrame app. Upper left is a “new” old Royal typewriter I paid way too much for on eBay for my office reno. Bottom left are my legs and shoes (wow fancy) and on the right is a structure near my work called the Wind Chime because it’s super windy here and supposedly it makes noise when the wind blows through it.
