    Sandalwood Infused Dead Sea Mud

    If you thought playing in mud was just for kids, we encourage you to reconnect with your inner child and rethink those priorities. Our Sandalwood Infused Dead Sea Mud, part of our new Arabian Odyssey Collection, will cleanse and detoxify as the rich aroma of pure sandalwood soothes the mind. Child’s play? We think not.

    Latest Obsession
    Amity Boots by Frye

    As the slightest hint of a chill hits the air here in South Carolina, I find myself thinking of autumn and warm boots…specifically THESE boots from Frye via Anthropologie. They will set you back quite a significant chunck of change, but Frye boots are a special kind of tough and should last damn near forever. I am still trying to reconcile why I cannot eat a steak but I can rock a fine pair of leather boots. My conscience is conflicted, but a girl can dream, no?

    Monthly Poll

    As the summer winds down, how are you feeling?

    • I need a few more months of summer, beach and sand!
    • Enough with the heat...bring on fall!
    • Who cares about the weather, I'm just ready for the kids to go back to school.

    Ingredient of the Month
    Pomegranate Seed Oil

    Brimming with potent antioxidants that wage war on the free radicals responsible for aging, pomegranate seed oil is also rich in ellagic and punicic acids, which are reknowned for their ability to increase skin elasticity as they moisturize and protect dry skin. It takes 200+ pounds of fresh pomegranates to yield one pound of costly pomegranate seed oil.

    Food For Thought

    5 Penny Lip Scrub

    Dry, chapped lips are an unfortunate reality of winter. Thankfully, outrageously priced lip scrubs don’t have to be. You can recreate a simple version of those department store concoctions at home- for a fraction of the price. For less than a nickel per application, you can use this handy little tip to help loosen and gently remove dead skin for a Pitt-worthy pucker.

    Take a pinch of brown sugar and gently rub onto moistened lips (don’t attempt this dry or you’ll risk raw, overly exfoliated lips). Rinse with warm water and immediately apply chapstick. I do this routine several times per week throughout autumn and winter and it yields beautiful results in seconds!

    Drumroll, please...

    August 17, 2007

    Nothing has been more empowering to me as a woman than owning my own business. While entrepreneurship is certainly not for everyone, there’s a unique slice of the population that it’s perfectly suited to. Whether you’re a woman who’s starting her business journey or simply one has the dream of being her own boss someday, then I want you to know about Ladies Who Launch. This unique network of woman-owned businesses holds incubators around the country, designed to help you identify what needs some tweaking in your business, while giving you the support network and swift kick in the rear to get it done.

Once a year, they take the show on the road, hitting cities around the country with an impressive roster of featured speakers and workshops, blended with some great food, amazing goody bags and a dash of real-woman networking.
