The Macabre Tarot by Sam West (Review)

February 7, 2023

A truly macabre design―a tarot deck in the shape of the coffin!
The Macabre Tarot tempts you to turn away from the light and embrace the dark.

You will be pushed down the rabbit hole of your own psyche and forced to face your darkest thoughts. This unique deck is based on the traditional Rider Waite system but with suites being Crystals, Cups, Bones and Daggers… Read More The Macabre Tarot by Sam West (Review)

December 29, 2022
Blog post header for Flavia the Bibliophile's review of The Poe Tarot

The Poe Tarot features the whimsical and, at times, macabre black-and-white illustrations by mixed-media artist/author Trisha Leigh Shufelt and quotes from the literary works and thoughts of Edgar Allan Poe. Images are directly inspired by such classics as The Raven, Annabel Lee, The Masque of the Red Death, and many more while utilizing traditional Tarot archetypes.

Schmidt’s: Rose + Black Pepper & Charcoal + Magnesium Deodorants (Product Review)

September 19, 2020

I have tried one of Schmidt’s deodorants, one of the more natural ones, before and remember it being a little coarse due to the baking soda in the formula. I loved the smell of it though! Anyway, I was happy to find that this new formula goes on smooth. When smelling the deodorant initially, I could only smell the rose. When I applied it, however, it seems that the heat of my skin activated the black pepper smell (which I thought was very cool!), and that was a bit more dominant… Read More Schmidt’s: Rose + Black Pepper & Charcoal + Magnesium Deodorants (Product Review)

Breyers Delights: Vanilla Cupcake (Food Product Review)

May 6, 2019

The first impressions I got from the new Breyers Delights was that the packaging looked really fun, that there were a good amount of flavour choices (with enough variety), and that the tubs were a little smaller than I had expected. I opted for the vanilla cupcake flavour because I try to avoid chocolate, and it’s just the flavour that seemed like it would be the tastiest for me… Read More Breyers Delights: Vanilla Cupcake (Food Product Review)
