. you need this... * sea salt & happiness .

 always an advocate and searching for anything that can enrich ones life.

aromatherapy is magical and pampering... having the ability to enhance 

your mood and change how you feel...

Awaken Aromassentials by Arbonne is absolutely transforming!

the Awaken essential oil blend is composed of lemon for vitality and coriander 
for happiness, with key ingredients of avocado, sweet almond oils, clover, ginseng,
birch extracts, orchid extracts, green tea oils, and sunflower oils. 

make your morning routine a bit more luxurious and blissful...

my ABSOLUTE favorite item is the Awaken sea salt scrub... it is entirely lovely! 

sea salt acts as a natural exfoliate to slough away dead skin cells,

revealing healthy, brighter, and silky skin. but the real delight is the 

intoxicating "wake you up" scent that envelopes your senses.

and finally the secret weapon... it is the most luxurious shaving tool

on the planet, this is the only "cream" i now use.

simply shave after you rinse off salt and the essential oils act

as your shaving cream. leaving the most silky soft, perfectly smooth skin.

beside all the benefits of coming from a health & wellness company like Arbonne,

any product that boasts vitality and happiness...and delivers!

is a must have... and a true luxury in my book!

forlorn and bare... yet so full of secrets and still

. to do * nightstand .

 one of the most private spaces in your home,

the bedside table and what's on it...

shouldn't this area speak to your soul?

and reflect what is truly important to you?

i think so, it awakes you in the morning light

and lulls you at twilight. make it fabulous for you...

the perfect items for my nightstand:

1. pretty reading lamp

2. a stack of inspiring books or magazines

3. fresh flowers in a vase or bowl

4. a white scented candle

5. picture of my beau and our little one

6. tray or vintage dish to place jewelry

what's on yours??

. fashion lust * scervino SS 2012 .

Ermanno Scervino 

Spring/Summer 2012

aqua water laps against sandy shore

nothing less and nothing more

as simple... yet as intricate as the textured coral

with petals of a sophisticated flower,

as calming as the sea but ironically so fierce with power

. to do * closet .

as a new season sweeps in... an essential must 

of dressing is a bit of closet organization and beautification.

no matter if Chanel or 21 fills your precious space, it's

time to remove everything and try each and ever item on,

not only purging but also accessing what it is you need for

the season. then beautify with pretty velvet hangers, a fragrant

sachet, and a bowl of flowers (if you have the space).

entice your senses AND your clothes...

you will love!

. rainy day .

a rainy morning filled with hazy gray skies and

the smell of damp earth...almost impossible to want to leave

luxuriously soft sheets and warmth under covers, but many

. swing along with me .

as monday rolls around...

time to get back in the swing of things once again.

and always something quite irresistible about a lone swing.

from a tire swing, to a giant country school house playground swing (perfect

for twisting together), to an old swing at a new store,

and once again dreaming of an indoor swing in a creative office...

hope your week is off to a soaring start!
