Understanding Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab

And a review of some of their scents… “Have you ever heard of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab? Get to your computer immediately“. That’s how it all began so long ago for Christy and I, BPAL super fans. Since then, we’ve been just a tad bit obsessed. But can you blame us? Where else can you…

Easy Halloween idea, host a Wig Party!

Easy Halloween idea, host a Wig Party!

Now, we love a good theme party as much as the next person. And we’re damn good at throwing them too! Give us a topic and we can give you a party planned down to every last detail. But sometimes, we’re looking for a simpler get together (read: less work). Sometimes, the thought of a…
