Elegant Frosted Roller Bottle 10ml 2-Pack is perfect for DIY perfumes and essential oil blends #RollerBottle2PM

I love to DIY my own beauty blends. These pretty 10ml elegant frosted glass roll-on bottles make it easy to create a homemade gift with class.  They have a stainless steel roller ball and a brushed aluminum cap. These small refillable glass bottle are perfect for applying perfume or essential oil blends. I like to use them for gifts. I create my own blends and give them to friends and family as a special present. It even has a metal roller ball that prevents leaks. It allows you to blend the ingredients perfectly for each application.
 

• Bottles contain metal balls with perfect fit that prevents leaks. With the bottle inverted, the weight of the steel ball creates a seal preventing oil release. A quick shake allows the release of the oil for a smooth and even application every time.

• The durable brushed stainless steel cap screws on securely and protects your essential oils while maintaining an elegant look and feel.

• Certain oils & chemicals do not interact well with cheap plastic balls and possibly ruin the rolling mechanism. Stainless steel roller balls do not erode and will continue to roll on smoothly every time.

• Our luxurious glass bottles are not painted and will not scratch easily.

• Elegant cobalt blue frosted bottles have a deep rich and dark color to prevent light damage to sensitive oils.

Use these pretty bottles for yourself or for gifts. The cobalt blue color is stunning and just gorgeous. You could have a DIY Girls Night and have everyone make their own creation and go home with a pretty gift too. Tons of uses for these great bottles. 

You can pick up these elegant frosted roller bottles online anytime.

BackPack In A Pocket is a true lifesaver for day trips and vacations #BIP1

This is the perfect daypack, travelpack, min rucksack, backpack or whatever you want to call it. The best part is that it is light as feather and folds up to almost nothing...it can fit in a pocket. Stash this in your luggage for your next cruise or vacation it will be a lifesaver. My backpack in a pocket is truly that. I use it like any back pack and carry it over your shoulders or carry in your hand. It makes no difference if you go camping, touring or shopping when you finished just fold back into its pocket and store

It is super light and folds up in a flash. Weighs only 4.5 oz or 131gr ... but can take 18-20 litres of gear or shopping. Wonderful for tourist. Simply put in your suitcase and it sits there hardly noticeable just waiting to go on that bus or day trip.This is the piece to take to save you those expensive luggage overload fee. Airlines now are stricter with weight limits of your luggage. They can charge $$$ if you are 1 pound over the limit if they are in a cranky mood. If in doubt take out your backpack in a pocket and fill any overload in there and use as a carry on.

This is perfect for day trips when small gear has to be carried. Breathable padded shoulder straps. Wear or carry. Easy at airport. Keep in suitcase for tourist purchase overload. This backpack is well constructed and reinforced at pressure points to best prevent ripping, tearing or separation. But don't worry about those issues if faulty it comes with a 12month REPLACEMENT GUARANTEE and safety reflector strips.

You can pick up Backpack in a Pocket on Amazon anytime.
