Spring Is In The Air!


Scents of Spring

Are you ready for Spring?  Well get ready, there are a lot of great new products out there ready to make you open your windows, spring clean your house and crank up the music!

Are you ready to feel like your in the Bahama's or Provence even though you're still stuck in the mud?  Well, Paddywax candles have a great new line of candles called "Destinations."  These candles are inspired by the fragrances of the most beautiful places in the world - and when you light one, close your eyes -- you'll almost believe that you're there.  They come poured in a beautiful frosted glass and they will burn long and clean burning candles with maximum fragrance.  Some inspired scents are Tuscany, Provence, Mykonos and Sri Lanka to name a few.  At $25.00 per candle they are a great gift to celebrate Spring!

Let's Entertain 

Looking to entertain?  Well, here are some whimsical necessities for a fun Spring social gathering.  These fun "necessities" will add spice to your standards with any favorite cup or napkin from the clever CoolCupsandStuff collection.  Here's a great way to show off your personality - whether you are the Carpool Queen,  WWW/Women Who Wine or celebrating Girls Night Out.  They are available in Styrofoam, frost flex and napkins.  Styro styles are available in 16 oz. sleeves of 20 for $10; Frost Flex styles in 16 oz. sleeves of 10 for $14. Each napkin style is offered in packs of 20 napkins measuring 5”x5” for $4.50.   They'll even do something custom if you want!

Getting Organized
Spring means tax season, getting organized, cleaning and regrouping.  One of our favorite companies, Galison has great products to help you accomplish all these things.  2007 could be your time to get back on track with thank you notes, writing to your friends, or even just organizing your bills.  You can do it with style, with class and thanks to Galison with great design and splashes of color.  Don't forget to get your kids into the act as well.  The Meadowsweet Pretty File Tote pictured left is made of extremely durable paper.  It is an accordion file tote that has 8 interior dividers and 16 adhesive lables.  You can use it to carry your papers everywhere.  It's just $19.50 and if you want to coordinate you can get matching file folders, memo mouse pads, thank you notes, or a paperweight.  If you just want to stay "Thank You" with style you'll love their new thank you notes, which retail for just $8.00.  The set includes 12 cards and 13 color-matched envelopes - thanks Galison for that extra realising we "might" make a mistake!

Their sister company, Mudpuppy Press offers a great assorment of kids writing papers, journals, puzzles and games.  Affordably priced they'll make a great gift for a friend, child or yourself! This Flower Power Portfolio Stationery Set is just $9.00 and includes: 20 sheets of stationery: 10 each of 2 designs, 20 envelopes: 10 each of 2 designs and 20 stickers!

Spring Clean Up
Most people will either say that they like to dry the dishes or wash the dishes but not both.  If you like to wash dishes, then you will LOVE washing your dishes with Cucina's new Lime Zest and Cypress Dish soap!  This soap has the best scent - you'll actually consider bathing in it!  Their concentrated dish detergent is chlorine and phosphate-free, its PH-balanced formula contains cleaning agents derived from natural coconut oil and cornstarch replacing the petroleum by products used in conventional products. It’s mild on your hands and leaves a fresh, fragrant bouquet of limes in your kitchen.  If you like it as much as we do, you can also purchase the liquid handsoap and hand lotion set which retails for just $32.00 and comes in a cute little ceramic holder.

 
Spring Slim 
We have been loyal customers of the Fruits & Passion kitchen products for two years now so when we were given their new Pineapple Slimming Ritual  to test we were thrilled.  We love it!  It goes on smoothly, smells heavenly and rinses easily--so now we are hooked!  The four step program practically guarantees that you will continue to smell good for hours afterward, especially since the body butter (the final step) practically melts into your skin.  Totally makes you feel like you  just stepped out of a spa.  Terrific addition to the Fruits & Passion line.   

STEP 1: Pineapple Slimming Shower Cream $12
