mint condition.

hello to all my new followers (and readers). i found out this weekend that some of my new friends here in connecticut are following along on my little blog adventure here at style of a songbird. and i'm so grateful. 

did you know you can follow/subscribe to style of a songbird through email, google reader or bloglovin to receive all my posts directly?! (just see the right sidebar for links). also, be sure to "like" my facebook page here to receive inspiration/tips/updates throughout the week as well.  

thank you to each and everyone of you for supporting my blog through reading, following, commenting. i truly don't take it for granted! <3

do you have a favorite scent? i love laundry right out of the dryer, my husband's cologne, freshly baked bread/cookies, and last but not least, mint anything. just the other day, i was drawn into a store with the scent of peppermint oil wafting through the air. mmm...
i have always been a "mint" girl. i love peppermint tea, body scrub, candles, you name it! i know i'm a little behind on the mint green trend as far as clothing and decor, but here are a few of my favorite mint finds:

one // peppermint oil. i've recently jumped on the essential oil band wagon, and i'm so glad i did. i mostly use peppermint oil to soothe headaches (rub a few drops on your temples), breathe it in for relaxation (rub a small amount under your nose and take deep breaths) and for massage oil (add a few drops to coconut oil. <---my husband thanks me). you can use peppermint oil to flavor your coffee too!

two // mentha lip shine. this has been my staple lip product for years and years. you can find it online or at bath and body works. it has the best mint flavor, tingles as soon as you apply and provides amazing shine! it freshens your breath at the same time. plus, bath and body works almost always has a buy 2 get 1 free deal on these. at $5.00 a piece, you can't not afford to pick these up!

three // mint statement necklace. this necklace from forever 21 would be the perfect accent to a neutral ensemble. and for under $7 bucks, it's the perfect price too!

four // essie polish in mint candy. as most of you know, i am a die hard shellac fan, but this mint polish is so pretty.

five // pureology hydtrate shampoo and conditioner. i seriously look forward to washing my hair because of this stuff. the hydrate line is super moisturizing so it's great for color treated or dry hair. it smells amazing and tingles your scalp. i highly suggest you at least try this shampoo and conditioner in travel size---you'll be sold. i promise.
