Give mom some bling from Bond no9!

If you have a super-glam mom who’s super-hard to shop for, this would be a great gift.   I think of Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development…although, she’d probably try to get drunk on the alcohol in the perfumes.   Find this set at Saks Fifth Avenue stores or Bond no. 9’s store.
You know your favorite […]

DIY Scented Beauty - Cocoa Butter Massage Bar

This is as easy as making melt and pour soap.  I found cute molds at A.C. Moore.  My favorite molds either are small and fit easily into the palm of the hand, or those with ‘nubs’ for really massaging well.  A solid massage bar is an easy and convenient way to give or get a […]

Sweet Scented Sachets

I saw these last week and thought they were luxe and so cute.  Nicole Lee Designs makes these silky, handmade sachets and scents them with hazelnut creme and sugar fragrance.  I think they’re too pretty to keep hidden amongst your pantyhose, why not tuck one into your nightstand or in a bowl on the coffee […]
