Fresh and Chic: Elixir Co./Marjorie's Cracked - August 14, 2008

Anyone who lives on the Jersey Shore is all right with meâ?¦since I am from New Jersey. Yes, I pointed that out last week in a Shot Through the Heart post (I just came home from New Jersey last week) and I am pointing it out again. Itâ?Ts okay. Just donâ?Tt make fun of the way that I talk when Iâ?Tm mad.

Marjorie Cunningham is a lifelong NJ resident & it is my strong belief that Wickedly Chic readers need to head directly to her shop. Marjorieâ?Ts Cracked is a small business which designs jewelry made from broken china, porcelain or ceramic. I love her pieces!

The pendant pictured here is a red rose which has been wrapped with silver artist wire. It was designed from Bella Lux china. The actual plate (when it was together, of course) showed roses & how to care for them. All pendants come on a black velvet cord (or you can use your own chain).

Creating jewelry pieces from broken china seems to me to be the ultimate form of recycling & is so earth friendly. You will not believe the beauty of Marjorieâ?Ts designs. Theyâ?Tre just so unique and it feels like you are wearing a lovely bit of history around your neck.

Marjorie also creates rings, pins, bracelets & earringsâ?¦along with sea glass jewelry. Of course, the sea glass is from the Jersey Shore.

Iâ?Tm big on bathing & smelling great and I can assure that you our next indie business, Elixir Co. will knock your socks off as it did mine. Wellâ?¦technically Iâ?Tm not wearing socks since itâ?Ts summer time but Iâ?Tm just sayinâ?T…Elixir is great.

First of all, I canâ?Tt resist telling readers about the Elixir BOGO sale going on right now. Through August 17, 2008, all bath bombs are buy one, get one free. This is a sale that you will not want to resist!

Elixirâ?Ts bath bombs are amazingâ?¦the scents are outstanding & the bombs moisturize like crazy. Well, of course they doâ?¦theyâ?Tre loaded with shea butter, cocoa butter & sweet almond oil among other ingredients that will saturate your skin with love. Consider trying Mediterranean Sea (yuzu, sweet olive & watercress), Oh Behave! (candied apples, pomegranate & ivy), Scandal (amber & madagascar vanilla) or Citrus Glaze (mandarin orange, grapefruit, tangerine & honey). These are all to die for.

So letâ?Ts say that you want to get on with some heavy duty pampering but you want bubbles. Then grab some of Elixirâ?Ts bubble bars. Each bar weighs 3 ounces & will give you tons of bubbles. We adored the Buzzy Bee (buttermilk & honey) and Ginger Love (nutmeg, lime, lemon & black currants). Lindsay Burt, owner of Elixir, calls these the Cadillac of bubble baths. They rock.

Readers, you have just got to get yourselves over to Elixir and place an order. BOGO bath bombs this weekend, $7.00 flat rate shipping AND some of the best bath products youâ?Tll ever useâ?¦how can you go wrong?
