 Regular readers will likely know that I am obsesses with tea. And I don’t mean mildly obsessed. I fuel my addiction regularly with new tea varieties and teaware, but this particular tea-to-go mug is my favorite. Crafted of ceramic, it boasts double walls which help the tea stays hotter longer and also means it isn’t uncomfortable to hold, even when freshly filled. I love the bold graphic design and the sandblasting adds texture making it even easier to grip. Snatch one up for just $12 at Stash and take your morning pick-me-up on the road!

Created by pulverizing real freshwater pearls, it is reputed to boost skins brightness and is rich in both amino acids and trace minerals. 
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma- which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs 
3 tbsp. Dried Lavender Flowers* Process lavender flowers in a blender until they become a powder, turning off the blender and scraping down the sides as necessary. Whisk together lavender powder, milk, and honey in a glass bowl, then pour into a jar. Before each use, shake the jar and pour half of the mixture into the bath. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Makes enough for 2 baths. *Dried lavender flowers can be found in the spice section of gourmet and specialty stores.

Up and at ‘emJune 6, 2008I was up, quite literally, at the crack of dawn. Or, before dawn- to be exact. Yesterday was the official last day of school for my girls (congrats to Chloe and Celie!) and we curled up on the couch last night, reading books until well after our normal bedtime. When the alarm rustled me from a deep sleep this morning, I glared at the glowing red digits that throbbed “4:30” and (rather unpolitely) said to my husband “Babe, turn off the alarm…IT’S SUMMER!” To which he replied “Um….babe, Phoenix?” Riiiiiiiiight. Phoenix. I knew I should have gone to bed sooner. Nevertheless, I was out of the house and headed to the airport by 5:05am. A small army of Spa Girl Party consultants is descending upon Arizona and I was invited by Steve & DiAna (SGP’s founders) to address the group at the inaugural convention. And so, wiping the sleep from my eyes, here I sit in Cincinnati, in transit to Phoenix. And, if I have not taken the opportunity recently to complain about how you cannot fly direct from Columbia, SC to ANYWHERE, please let me do so now. In my next life, living in a hub city will not be negotiable. Nevertheless, I am eager to lay my weary eyes on Arizona for the very first time. I am always happy to chat all things Bella Luccè and they say Arizona will provide a beautiful (if not ridiculously HOT) setting to do so. The icing on my cupcake is that I’ll get to grab lunch with my Brandi, my best friend from 4th grade, on Saturday. We haven’t seen each other in a solid decade or more and I can’t wait to dig into a tasty salad and reminisce about that time we got caught by my father sitting on the top shelf of my bedroom closet decorating the ceiling and walls with crayon’d graffiti. Good times…. Stay tuned! Tagsprinter friendly |
