CLEAN LIVING So, this first post isn't technically from August, but we're often asked what our favorite clean mascara brands are. [Click here]( see! [This primer/mascara duo]( isn't in that post, but several of us have been using it lately and it's so amazing. Another common question we're asked? Essential oil safety for children. You can read more about that [here]( (scroll down to the EO section) and see Elsie's favorite kid-friendly blends [right here](. FOOD Celebrate FriYAY with a [cosmo](. It'll make you feel real fancy :) YES, that's a sandcastle cake. Mandi made it for her daughter's [mermaid-themed birthday party]( and we're still in awe every time we look at it. [Here's how she made it](. SHOP [Elsie shared her tips]( for shopping vintage clothing. How many of us buy a cute vintage dress or top that needs tailored but we just leave it like it is?
