Vessel Scents of Style Aromatherapy Necklace Review

Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own and completely honest, I do not lie to my readers.

I am SO excited to share this product with you all!!! I first discovered it through a deal website I frequent and as soon as I saw it I knew I had to get one and review it for you all. I have never seen an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace like these ones.

I received the "Circle" style  locket in the Antique Copper finish, the Kristen style chain, and a jar of Turquoise ScentSpheres. For those that don't know what I'm talking about, an aromatherapy or diffuser necklace is used with essential oils or perfumes to emit the scent of the chosen medium. Vessel Scents of Style makes beautiful customizable diffuser jewelry, keychains and satchets. I was really impressed of the fact that they not only made necklaces but earrings, rings and bracelets too! There are a bunch of different styles of chains and lockets as well as a few earring options.  They also offer chords and ribbon as an alternative to chains. There are even cute charms that you can add to your necklaces to give them an even more personalized look. There are different finishes to choose from as well. Really there are so many options!

The other thing that makes this brand so unique besides the selection and styles is their ScentSpheres! They are these special polymer beads that you put your desired scent onto and they hold/diffuse the scent as you wear them. This was one major thing that drew me to the brand as the scent spheres look MUCH nicer than the typical pads/pom poms traditional diffuser necklaces contain. The ScentSpheres come in so many different colors as well as different shapes. You can order them in bulk in a bag or in a cute little jar set meant for a piece of jewelry. Once the fragrance is fully dried you can also store the spheres in the jar. They are just really neat!

The style that the company sent me is literally perfect for me - it has a beautiful antique look to it (which a lot of you know I love) and the turquoise color is gorgeous! Behind purple, LOVE tortoise shades.

I should also note that the lockets open like so to add the ScentSpheres; the locket attaches to the chain via lobster clasp and they close with a magnet. The magnet isn't weak and does stay closed. It also helps that a lobster clasp is used which makes it impossible to open while attached. I love that it is easy to open though instead of fumbling with some sort of annoying clasp.

The metal is good quality and holds some weight without being too heavy. The chain is quite long which I actually really like, I can wear a shorter necklace along with it.

But how did the necklace preform at diffusing?

Wonderfully! The first time using these, I took the ScentSpheres and transferred them to a glass bowl where I added some drops of lavender essential oil over them; as essential oil should never be put in plastic. I allowed them to soak for roughly 45 minutes as I got ready for the day. I then transferred them onto a paper towel to dry and soak up the excess oil. I put as many of the spheres that would fit into the locket and put it on; going about my day.

That day I hung out with my best friend, Vicky. As soon as I got into her car she smelled the lavender and asked me about it. While we had lunch at her house her mother came home and she also smelled it as well. The scent lasted all day and was quite noticeable which I really loved! I love being enveloped in scents I love.

Although you can use perfume with these, it is not recommended. Perfumes contain alcohol which could ruin the ScentSpheres. Some essential oils can as well, but I haven't noticed any problems with the colors. Vessel Scents of Style also carries their own scent blends made specifically for their products; it seems that they don't sell the fragrances separately rather they will scent the ScentSpheres with them if you choose not to add your own fragrance.

You can purchase Vessel Scents of Style products from their website: https://vessel-scents-of-style.myshopify.com/ 

You can also purchase some already put together lockets via Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/VESSEL-Aromatherapy-Essential-Oil-Necklace/dp/B01EVLUZCG

Overall I LOVE this product so so much. I would love to get a pair of earrings or even another locket. I definitely want to get more colors of ScentSpheres! I hope you all enjoyed this review and that it compels some of you to check out this wonderful product.

Heather Zombie

September Adventure Time & Scream Queens

What's up my zombies?? Guess what?? IT'S FINALLY OFFICIALLY AUTUMN!!!

Hehe I'm so punny...because you know, my cat's name is Autumn. 

But seriously, I'm so excited for the fall. It's beginning to get cooler here and every day I notice more and more leaves starting to change. It's crazy that it's nearly October and not even half of the trees in my yard have started to change. 

The view looking down my street from the end of my driveway.

The crap apple tree in my yard. Oh how I wish these apples were edible, I'm dying to go apple picking. 

The only thing I'm not excited about is the fact that I won't have an air conditioner to block out my tinnitus. Yeah...I have tinnitus (a constant, never ending ringing in my ear) as a result of some illness from early this year. It's quite frightening that I may have to deal with it for the rest of my life, and I'm only 22 years old. Shit happens.

Alright, Heather stop rambling and get to the point! Since I know some of you like hearing about my adventures, I thought I'd talk about my adventures from Tuesday! I had an absolutely wonderful day! And a few wonderfully strange coincidences. I'm convinced that the good karma from my Wiccan practices lately came back to me and payed off. It was all exactly what I've needed. I've had so many things on my mind lately and so many things happening at home, that it felt good to finally unwind and not think about it for the day. It was also nice to get some exercise.

I spent the whole day with one of my dear friends, Beckman. We went to the mall and some other places. We literally walked around all day, I ended up with a blister from all of the walking and the shoes I wore. It was worth it though!

We started our day by visiting my mom at the store she works at. She called one of her coworkers over to meet me. This man absolutely made my day. The first thing out of his mouth was "Oh my god she's so beautiful" to my mom. And he kept saying "You're so beautiful, wow" to me. The flattery totally made my day, I rarely get comments like this in public.

For those curious, here's my makeup from that day. Ignore the slightly irritated facial expression. I'm like facially challenged when I take pictures xD, I have no idea why. 

I wore all of this, along with my Sword Art Online T-shirt and capris. 

I swapped the crescent moon hair clip in the picture above for my My Chemical Romance bow. I layered my Opal crystal, my pentagram and my long chained clear crystal. I wore rose quartz earrings and my purple gem bat wing earrings. 

We went to the mall and went to the usual stores. We went to Spencer's and they had some fucking creepy masks O__O...Beckman is wearing the horse one:

I'm wearing the creepy anime one. I look like cousin It gone kawaii.

I saw a beautiful Ouija board necklace at Spencer's but didn't have enough to get it. I have been wanting one so badly, so I've been on the lookout for them. We then went to Hot Topic and I looked for the one I passed over the last few times I went there because of the price; it was gone. We then looked through the clearance section and I told Beckman that it would be pretty awesome if I were to find that necklace in the clearance section somehow. As we waded through the bins, literally a minute later I found the necklace and it was marked down to a price I could afford!! It was insane! I totally feel like it was one of those coincidences where the universe was rewarding me.

My lovely necklace. It's a cameo too!! *^* I'm completely obsessed with cameos.

They had nail polishes buy 1 get 1 free so Beckman bought one and let me get the free one. I chose this:

We went to Lush and I got to check out their new fall products. They have a wonderful new coconut hand scrub and a bubblegum scented shower gel called comforter....I so wanted it! And of course they were totally out of face masks so I couldn't try the new rose face mask ;__; this is the fucking 3rd time that I've had this happen!! UGHHH!

 Beckman and I were discussing some things about Wicca as I was explaining what I've been up to lately and one of the Lush workers casually listened in. She found it really fascinating and I love finding open minded people like that! So I explained a few things to them and about the book of shadows that I'm working on. Honestly, I don't think that I'm going to do a full separate post on Wicca and my beliefs. If you are interested though, I can still write one and just email you it. All you have to do is ask my dears! 

We went to Yankee Candle and Bath and Body Works and it was pumpkin spice everything!! I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin scented/flavored things. I much prefer apple. But I was happy to see all of their fall and Halloween products, as I never get to go to the mall in the fall. We then went to Sephora and got some skincare products to try and got Beckman some skincare advice.

After the mall we headed back to our hometown and went to Homegoods. The 2nd strangest thing happened. I was convinced that they wouldn't have any tea cups left. We went to the clearance section and they had the exact tea cup I was eyeing the last time I went...marked down even cheaper!! It was $3.50 and I literally had $3 and change left. It was insane!

 Homegoods has the most beautiful Halloween decor too.

We then went to Walmart and like the typical white girls in my redneck town we took selfies in the store xD. There isn't really all that much to do here so teenagers  (and sometimes us young adults) usually go to random stores and fuck around in them or in the parking lots.

We had fun playing around with the Halloween costumes. Beckman put on this creepy mask

I think the furries are taking over. I swear I saw animal related costumes like this everywhere!

And I tried on this beautiful witch's hat. Oh how I wanted it!

We then went to the liquor store and I saw this! Game of Thrones liquor yaaay! 

The bottle was absolutely stunning, it looked like it belonged in the show. It was closed with a cork that had a cap on top of it with the stark sigil. This was sealed with chains on the sides. It was also a pretty large bottle, not the size of a beer bottle. It's called Three Eyed Raven and it's a dark saison ale made by the Omme Gang brewery in Coppertown NY. I was surprised to find this in my town...especially this particular one when we have 4-5 different liquor stores. We didn't buy this but Beckman bought bought some Angry Orchard. The snotty lady at the counter carded us both even though I didn't buy anything because she thought we were teenagers. He let me have one of those to try.

I actually really liked it! I hate beer, so it was nice to find something similar to it that I enjoy. It's basically beer, but made with apples. 

Later that night, I watched the Scream Queens premiere! I loved it so much! If you're watching purely for the horror, you're going to hate it. The horror is pretty cheesy. Some of the makeup was atrocious. I did expect better since Ryan Murphy, the creator of American Horror Story made this, I guess he wanted the makeup cheesy to add to the comedy. It is funny though! I found myself laughing my ass off quite a few times. It's wonderful as a dark comedy. I want to smack the shit out of Emma Roberts' character, Chanel because she was a huge snotty bitch! I love Jamie Lee Curtis' character of The Dean. Seriously she's the best!! I think she's the person behind the red devil mask. I laughed my ass off at some of the kills like the spray tan one. THAT was beautiful. I love Keke Palmer's character, Zayday. I'm pretty sure that Grace and Zayday, maybe even Hester and Chanel will survive the show. Zayday and Grace being the few of the girls that actually seem to have a brain. I really liked seeing Lea Michelle in a different role, it was hilarious to see her in a neck brace. Yes, I used to watch Glee. I totally related to her character Hester because if I accidentally killed someone I know I'd know how to dispose of the body.  I was very happy to see Ariana Grande be killed off, I can't stand her. I'm so happy we won't have to deal with her for the rest of the season. Yaaaaaay!! I can't wait for next week's episode. 

Anyway, Tuesday was a wonderful day! I'm hoping to have another Halloween post this weekend or next week so keep an eye out! As usual, any ideas for my Halloween countdown that you'd love to see? Comment and let me know!

Stay creepy

DIY

I know, I never post this late (it is nearly midnight)! Blogger was supposed to post this earlier today, but there was some sort of technical difficulty. I hope you all are enjoying your evening! I am (impatiently) waiting for Toonami to begin (or rather Kill La Kill to...I don't watch Dragon Ball). I'm most excited for the latest Sword Art Online II, I watched it subbed but I am loving the dub! I'm hoping I can catch a glimpse of Kakashi on Naruto Shippuden tonight (though doubtful ;____;). If I don't...I can just place him into the show. 

Anyway, I am finished with my rambling! To the point of the post!! 

I am a huge do it yourself-er. Partly because I love a good project and making things. But also due to my frugal nature. I mean, why spend a lot of money buying something when you can easily and cheaply make it yourself? A lot of my DIY projects involve recycling things as well.

I am lucky (or rather cursed as I see it) enough to have a mind that obsesses and fixates on things. When I have a challenge, I obsess over it and can not stop thinking about it until I come up with a good solution. I guess this is where my creativity comes in. I get a lot of that from my dad. He was always thinking of random inventions, but usually someone else had thought of them first.
 
I love taking old things and repurposing or renewing them. At one point I was looking for a new way to store some of my less expensive lipsticks but also to make it easy to find whichever color I want. I debated for probably two days, then randomly when I was glancing around my living room the answer came to me. Use one of my dad's old car cases!

The back of the car case is mirrored and difficult to photograph. Sorry!!

                                          

My dad was very into racing and collected a bunch of cars. So I took a small case that houses several cars and put some lipsticks in it. It is the perfect size for standard sized lipsticks.

Another example, I wanted to clear some space in my jewelry box and display my favorite necklaces. I noticed that I could hang the necklaces from an ornament hanger that we had laying around. It was short so I took an empty breadcrumb can, spray painted it and taped the ornament hanger to the top of it. Voila, a cheap but effective necklace stand!

                                                 

I also made a bracelet display/stand recently. I needed a way to organize/display my bracelets. They were previously just shoved in a drawer of my jewelry box and I always forgot to wear them. I saw some stands on Amazon...but was SO not into paying $10-$15 for one. So I racked my brain and came up with this idea! I took a paper towel tube, shelf liner, a piece of foam board left from a home renovation and my trusty hot glue gun (a must for serious DIYers. I use mine all the time!). 

First I cut the paper towel roll until I had one large piece and two smaller ones. I glued shelf liner to them, then glued the pieces together. Next I glued shelf liner to the foam board and then glued it to the bottom of the stand. 

Look at my cute little kitty ring stand *^*

                                           

Lastly, another time I was looking for a new way to store all of my nail polish. I came across nail polish racks which were perfect: I could easily display my nail polishes and store them so I could find them easily. The downside....that shit is expensive! So I racked my brain and came up with a solution: these rectangular baskets (they come in packs of 3) from the dollar store and thumb tacks. Super easy, cheap nail polish racks!!

I apologize for the horrid lighting. I couldn't get a better pic than this :( this side of my room is dimmer.

                                               

I have made and re purposed so many items to fit my needs. A lot of it has to do with organization and display. With makeup and jewelry if it isn't organized or displayed a certain way I will totally forget that it exists. DIY is not only about making and doing things yourself cheaper vs buying it but it's also about creativity! You can make some awesome things, many things I have made I love more than anything store bought. The things you make yourself are truly priceless.

I know a lot of people don't have that obsessive brain curse or may lack creativity. Just go make an account on Pinterest. I use Pinterest for everything! Event planning, DIY, gift ideas, pictures, you name it! Pinterest is the best resource you will find for DIY. I seriously don't understand how I survived without that beautiful website for so long. Any time I want to make something or need something and can't figure out how to make it - I search on Pinterest.

From time to time I will post about my DIY ventures when they happen. Around holidays I can even discuss decorations I have made. I can also discuss some organizational tips. I can even show off some other things that I have made. DIY is really fun and a great way to save money, so I love bringing others the joy of it.
