DIY: Epsom Salt Bath Cubes
Here's a super easy way to make your own bath cubes out of epsom salts! These little guys make great gifts, and are an inexpensive alternative to bath bombs.
* 1/4 cup water
* 4 cups epsom salts
* 5-10 drops of essential oil - I use eucalyptus and spearmint
* Silicone ice cube tray
* Bowl + spoon
Stir ingredients in a bowl until combined. Scoop up a spoonful of the mixture and drop into the silicone mold. Pack tightly with your fingers, then add another scoop and pack it down. Follow this system until you've filled each mold in the tray to the top.
Let it sit overnight to a few days. Turn the mold upside down and gently push the silicone in to remove each cube from the tray. Put in a jar or sachet to keep near the tub, or toss a few in some warm water and enjoy!!!

J2 Vintage Launch Preview!
Judd and I have a passion for vintage and retro, and we love searching for treasures! Our hobby felt like it was getting out of hand, but we're no quitters, so we decided to kick it into high gear and open a shop on Etsy. We've been planning and buying up inventory for J Squared Vintage, and now, we're ready to share it!
We're so ecstatic to announce that we've finally shot several pieces of our J Squared Vintage Resort/Summer and Fall collection!!! It's been a dream since January, but J2 is almost ready to rock, thanks to our friend Camma's mean modeling skills and Judd's ability to turn our little apartment into a studio and snap some mad pictures! Oh and Beau (Camma's hubby) and I were there, so we totally helped :) ! Here we are, on set!
Below is just a taste of what we have in store for you ♥
Camma modeled several small dresses from the 50s-70s, some 60s-70s tops, a gaggle of plaid skirts, and a super cool 60s or 70s red white and blue striped romper that you'll just have to wait and see when the shop is up. In fact, you'll find several red white and blue items that are perfect for showing your team USA spirit!
Is she an adorable model or what? THANK YOU, CAMMA!
Coming soon: There are some medium and large sized ladies' clothing that still needs to be shot, and a ton of accessories- scarves, jewelry, purses, etc. We also have some super sexy men's western shirts, a few suits and lots of ties that Judd will be graciously donning in some upcoming photos.
To stay updated on J Squared Vintage, you can like us on , follow us on , or follow this blog on Bloglovin'! Thanks for the support!!

Spoonflower Contest: Campy Prints
If you haven't heard of Spoonflower, you're in for a treat! Spoonflower is a website that gives everyone a chance to have their own custom designs be printed on fabric. There's a huge selection of fabric types to choose from, and no minimum order- perfect for the occasional at home crafter. Once you've placed an order for one of your fabric designs, you have the option of making that design available for sale to the public. And if it sells, you get a little cut from Spoonflower, which is an awesome bonus! The website also has weekly contests, a great way for new artists to get attention. The contest theme I'm excited about right now is CAMPING! The entries are due Tuesday, August 14th, so I drew this little dude in Photoshop.

Back to School Bookworm
We hope you enjoy this back to school themed treasury! We took a little old, a little new, and collaborations of the two, to bring you a grouping that is both nostalgic and current. I personally think the Pink Pearl USB drive is genius! The "Where the Wild Things Are" globe and National Parks checklist map are super high on my wish list too. This treasury makes me miss the smell of old library books! What little things do you remember about going back to school?

A Smile Sent Will Always Return
The little things in life mean so much. My fondest memories are made up of things like walks on Jones' beach with Judd and our pups, sharing ice cream with friends I hadn't seen in ages, and running through cool rain on a hot summers day with this man of my dreams. One of my very favorite feelings is the excitement of tearing through a brown paper parcel, and as luck would have it, today I was greeted by a lovely little package from a thoughtful friend! Inside I found something beautiful, made with love, care and tremendous skill. I was so ecstatic I'm sure I squealed! I couldn't wait to photograph it to share with you!

'Desaturation' + Etsy Announcement
Judd and I have been diehard Etsy shoppers for a few years now, and we love sharing our favorite finds. We've gushed about handmade bow ties and the miracle that is tooth powder. We've swapped stories and sent our loved ones to our most prized shops. We've picked favorites, made treasuries, and even began to post them on our blog. Last year, we had an Etsy Christmas. But there is one way we haven't supported Etsy. We have not had a giveaway. That's right, a giveaway!
So guess what we're going to do? We've talked it over with our new friends, and we've got some goodies coming your way! That's right... we're hosting giveaways!!! I can't disclose the super secret details just yet, but there will be some surprises in store for friends to the P + E blog. So come back and check us out, daily if you so please, and get excited for a good chance to win something truly unique and selected just for you! There are going to be some Etsy seller features up here too!
I cannot stress enough how important it is to support small business, handmade, and local. With Etsy, you can be sure you are doing just that ♥
I'm Excited!! You should be too. Until then, here's a treasury courtesy of Judd + me!

Are you naked?!!!
Well everybody it's that time of year again. Time for the fifth annual World Naked Bike Ride! If you've never had the pleasure of attending this event, you have no idea of the fun you're missing out on. There are dancing bears, body painting, snacks, guitars, and a whole lot of naked people. Ok, so the dancing bear part is an illustrious ruse to get you there, but still, it's without a doubt one of the best times you could have in St. Louie.
The annual ride promotes acceptance of your body, and everyone else's, and alternative means of transportation. Not to mention, it's a fun ride through the city that always ends with a gigantic party. It's happening this Saturday, July 28th, at 8 p.m. The ride will depart from the South Grand Parking Lot, more specifically, 3500 Hartford Street. As always, before the ride you can partake in live music, body painting, an expo for local businesses, open mic, and an awards ceremony for the best decorated bicycle.
I participated in this event two years ago and I cannot remember ever having so much fun. After the initial shock of being naked in the outside world wears off, which happens rather quickly as everyone else in naked, you really have a chance to absorb the atmosphere of this wondrous event. Even if you're shy I recommend checking this out. No one ever said you had to participate, in fact, a lot of people that show up just come for the laughs and memories. Hope to see you there!!!
Above you'll find some optional naked bike riding attire.
cheers,
earl
It's come to our attention that you haven't seen much of us here on the P+E blog. So here's a quick little how-do-you-do! I'm Jessa, and over there is Judd. We are artists, designers, photographers, laughers, criers, crafters, pranksters, (bad) singers, thrifters, animal lovers. Oh and we don't eat meat either. We live in St. Louis, and have two dogs: Neko and Alabama, and a kitty: Isabey (named for the best paint brush brand in the world of course!) It's almost impossible to spot her in the picture below, but I promise, she's there. The five of us can get pretty rambunctious!
I'm about the clumsiest person in the world, and Judd is a pretty good "Mister fix-it", so basically we're like peas and carrots! Our favorite band is Pearl Jam, yes both of us. We don't own a tv. I know that its silly that we have a tv on our banner and don't own one, but, that's satire for ya! We also don't have a microwave, so we actually cook stuff (well, Judd does anyway) ♥. We love making new friends and having adventures. Shoot us a message so we can get to know you too!
