it's essential

If you've never tried H.Gillerman's organic oils before, it's about that time. These delicious blends are appealing on all levels- the packaging is gorgeous, the scents are soothing and once applied, they make you feel amazing. In particular, I am a fan of their sinus and stress remedies. Dab a bit of the tension remedy on before you go out holiday shopping, trust that it will help. While using only the purest and highest quality oils, these products make great gifts or a fine treat for yourself. You can also learn how to make your own blends with the Essential Oils deck by Hope Gillerman & Joan Arnold. Deck available here.

a candle burns

During a recent shopping jaunt through one of my favorite boutiques, I noticed the most gorgeous line of candles. Tatine's handcrafted candles are perfectly exquisite with their nature & garden inspired scents, by Margo Breznik from her Chicago studio. She has made it her passion to utilize green production practices, with the blending of soy wax & beeswax, all contained in a recycled glass jar. Not to mention, the packaging's design & letterpress creates a stunning end product. It makes me happy to see and support small studios and artisans like this one. Locally sold in Berkeley at Lola.

pitter patter...

...goes my heart over wonderful packaging. I have been known to purchase products simply for their exterior facade. Then am equally delighted when what's inside is perfect too! At a boutique in Copenhagen, I spotted (and madly sniffed) each of the candles from the Anthousa apothecary collection. They sang to me with their exquisite scents and dreamy color palette. Anthousa has truly created a beautiful brand with a "blend of sophistication and freshness." ahh, my heart.
