One of my cheap and cheerful French souvenirs
a wee jar that held the most delicious yogurt.
I have popped a beeswax votive inside the jar
and
loving the subtle scent that emanates from the wax as it slowly melts.
I finished the book on Bunny Mellon...
her life certainly had its ups and downs
Throughout Bunny maintained her poise and composure.
She found solace puttering in her garden and decorating many homes.
Her life was enriched by the many friendships that she cultivated...
Jackie Kennedy, Balenciaga, Givenchy to name a few.
There were many delightful surprises as I flipped the pages.
I recommend this book...
Bunny had a strength of character
lots of energy
a zest for life
impeccable style
a lifelong passion for gardening
tasteful flair for homes and decorating
a collector of fine art and antiques
loyal to her staff
Bunny loved being out in nature.
This story will resonate with me forever.
I don't usually keep books but this one is going to stay on my shelf.
It's a "keeper!"
New silky black camisole...
I love wearing this under my cashmere sweaters.
These two products are fabulous for dry skin...
the body wash is emollient and the scent is subtle.
The moisturizer is pure, light and silky.
Self care is so important.
It doesn't have to cost a lot of money.
Perhaps you can afford a full day at the Spa...
(which would be fabulous!)
Or you may just take an extra 5 minutes here and there to treat yourself.
Speaking of treats...
Isla and I made some bath salts together last week.
The recipe is on my blog in a December post a "Hostess Gift."
I'm a bundled up in the Michelin Man puffer coat!
The weather this past weekend was marvelous...
we had some sunshine and it was such a welcome tonic after weeks of rain.
Following up on my post about the intermittent fasting...
I am enjoying the results.
I have lost a few pounds and feel way more energy!
It was difficult at first not eating breakfast and then
only eating during the 8 hour "window"
There are books and You Tube videos that discuss the health benefits of fasting
if you are interested.
I would love to hear your thoughts...
