Here's what's in this sensual blend: clove: known for its immune-enhancing properties lemon oil: a powerful antioxidant known for its ability to act as a natural cleanser cinnamon bark: has a reputation for relieving [...]
Pearl +
When I walk into a hotel room bathroom, I expect to find little bottles of shampoo, a shower cap, and some little bar of soap. When I walked into my room at the Ace Hotel, however, I found the most amazing little bar of soap. It's got pearls, it's got charcoal. It made me smell like a delicious campfire at the beach. According to the [...]
String Ring
Tying a string around your finger has never been cooler. These attractive rings with string running through them are some of the most awesome things I've seen in a while. With different color strings symbolizing different reminders this bit of bling carries some meaning as well as some sparkle. Remember to love and enjoy is my favorite. [...]
California Baby Calendula Cream
This recommendation comes to us from Lynn Flickinger of Ketchum, Idaho (thanks, Mom). So I guess my mom and sister used this stuf on a bug bite that my itty bitty nephew had. The bite was gone in 24 hours. Then my mom put it on a cut she had on her finger and it healed it up. "It really is nature's first-aid!" is what she wrote to [...]

Magnetic chalkboards
Strolling about at Saturday Market in Portland I ran across these totally awesome magnetic chalkboards. The surface is magnetic--which is how it holds the cute little heart magnet and chalk holder--and you can write on it with chalk. Fabulous idea. And to add the whipped cream and cherry, many of these boards are sporting positive messages. [...]
Vodafone internet key
For travelers who want or need access to the internet, extended vacations can be challenging. At 1 or 2 Euro per hour, internet cafes can be expensive for work applications, and things like streaming video aren't really practical. If you're looking for a way to stay connected on a long trip, without totally breaking the bank, I recommend the [...]
Replenishing Lip Balm by Burt’s Bees
A good lip balm is hard to find. Replenishing Lip Balm with pomegranate oil by Burt's Bees is one of my favorites. It actually keeps lips moisturized. Mine sure are a lot less chapped since I've been using it. And it smells good. And there's just a hint of color in it--just a hint. I like it so much I have some in 4 places: my bathroom, my [...]
