Read the book before you see the movie, and you will have a different idea of the characters chosen, Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem? That's ok I'll pay good money to go see a movie just to drool over Javier, lucky Penelope!  I am in heaven that my favorite Sugar line is now carrying these new scents inspired by the movie, Eat, Pray, Love. one of my all time favorite scents is Sugar, have been wearing it for years so much so I can't even smell it any more. When I want to be super indulgent I also use the Sugar Scrub and the cubes in my bath. 
Tonight on my way home I had something good to EAT: Baby's  pink truck what a welcome site coming home from work, so bright and pink at first I thought it was a cupcakes truck.

 PRAY: getting back into my daily yoga practice with a little help here keeps me conscious of my breathing and attention to things that matter and discard those that don't, like wasted energy.
LOVE: is always all around us, the opportunity to spread love with kind words, a soft touch, or even a smile. I'm a sucker for love and such a goon. I even got a little teary eyed watching the recent episode of Bethenny Getting Married. She is so happy and yes, more maternal being a mom. Her Cookie monster is something else and needs Cesar. Speaking of my peanut butter cookie monster,  Lana, my sweet dog is aging and along with that come some concerns that gave me a little scare this week, so much that I practically left the salon with my clients color still on just to snag an emergency appointment with her vet. (you know what I mean) Lana dog is much better and recovering quickly with lots of LOVE. More sweet love here

Greetings friends are you enjoying your summer? I have been in a bit of a wedding haze of events this coming week but a good reminder that not just brides need to primp and pamper.  I bumped into a fellow hairstylist at my favorite nail salon and while our tootsie's were drying we babbled about all the rage of Brazilian Blowouts and our favorite products to keep our clients hair looking fabulous this summer. What are yours? More babelicious products on a budget here

hot chocolate before bed

It is so important to exfoliate in the winter time to slough off dryness so that my bath oil absorbs leaving my skin radiantly soft and glowing. Discovered a wonderful new sugar scrub to add to my favorites. Giovanni Hot Chocolate Sugar Scrub has a yummy chocolate scent as it exfoliates away dry skin. You can find it here. To leave me with even more chocolate kissed skin, I slathered on my favorite Cocoa Butter. Sweet dreams and a lovely weekend.
