 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.

More fun from PhoenixJune 24, 2008I’ve been home from Phoenix for two weeks now, but the memories of my Spa Girl Parties convention linger on. I have enjoyed speaking to various consultants who have written or called since that weekend and I am even more impressed with them now than I was then. A few days ago, Christine from California emailed me more photos from the weekend and I thought you might like to see the faces behind the convention. Here are a few SGP Divas, after a healthy dose of wine and s’mores.  From left to right, we have DiAna (SGP’s founder), Christine, Melanie and Sabrina (both national directors for SGP). Sabrina lives in Washington and has a friend who works for Dave Matthews near his Seattle home. With her help, I have recently launched a full-scale initiative to find out where I can casually bump into him for coffee…details to follow. I am positive that his bodyguards are circulating pictures of me as we speak, but I can personally assure you that I mean no harm. Jenny has gotten my hopes up for a sighting before, but Sabrina has offered me renewed hope and I am eternally grateful. Christine is mother to the most adorable little boy on God’s green earth. Exhibit A:  Could you not just eat him? I spent precious little time with Christine over the weekend, as this baby made my ovaries ache in a way that is entirely unhealthy for me. After one of my lectures (my, doesn’t that sound stern?) I grabbed his little foot in an attempt to make him smile and it almost melted in my hand. It was THAT SOFT. Don’t believe me?  Sigh. I love kids of all ages and spent a good bit of Friday and Saturday ribbing Steve and DiAna’s son Brandon, who alternately was intrigued and annoyed by me. But don’t let his expression fool you…we are fast friends and he’s planning to move in with my family when he goes off to college.  Thanks for a fabulous time ladies! Tagsprinter friendly |
